Product Description

Review
"* "Sone can turn out a suave and deeply flavourful saffron-laced mussel soup with garlic croutons and caramelized onions that would earn any French chef an extra inch or two on his toque, and then, as a nod to his Japanese heritage, he can also present marinated and grilled eel on a Japanese cucumber salad with a chopped egg garnish." - Gourmet Magazine * "Terra has it all - gorgeous, unusual, unforgettable culsine servd by an amazing staff in a romantic, quietly elegant dining room...it's definitely a destination place that always delivers" - The Zagut Guide"

Product Description
In the late 1980s, Spago-trained chefs Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani opened their award-winning Napa Valley restaurant, Terra, in a century-old fieldstone foundry in St. Helena. Their dream of running a world-class restaurant became a reality as word quickly spread about the duo's extraordinary cooking and hospitality. Now, along with the French Laundry, the venerable Terra is a cornerstone of the Napa Valley food scene, and one of its quintessential dining experiences. In this book, over 100 recipes from the restaurant's standing and seasonal menus showcase the chefs' sophisticated, yet eminently playful and deeply personal cuisine. Sone and Doumani provide readers with a wealth of insight into the ingredients, preparations, and techniques that shape their cooking philosophy and menus, giving readers guidance - and inspiration - to execute these dishes at home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good in real life, 9 Oct 2003
By Alan Burns (Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Like your other reviewer I too was travelling napa having bought terra the previous year on another visit to the states, as a chef I was desperate to visit terra whilst travelling through napa, and for all it is a fantastically constructed book with great recipes I was very dissapointed with the real thing, I was however lucky enough to get into the french laundry, again after purchasing the book....this one 10 out of 10 for both the book & the real thing

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic way to become a "gourmet" chef, 3 Jan 2002
My husband and I picked this book up while visiting Napa Valley sampling the food and wines of the region - though, sadly, we didn't make it to Terra.
Now that we are back in London my husband has become a gourmet chef following these very delicious but not too complicated recipes. The ingredients are easy to source here in the UK and everytime we make a meal (I'm sous chef) it feels like we are still in California!
Next time we go to Napa Valley we will definitely visit Terra to see if their cooking measures up to ours....
