When Dolores and Jack Cakebread bought their ranch in 1972, they didn't know a thing about growing grapes or making wine. Today, Cakebread Cellars is one of Napa Valley's premier wineries, and its exceptional wines are enjoyed in fine restaurants the world over. In THE CAKEBREAD CELLARS NAPA VALLEY COOKBOOK, Dolores and Jack present more than 120 recipes perfected in the Cakebread kitchen over the past 30 years. Using produce plucked from Dolores's garden and featuring fresh ingredients from Napa's artisan food purveyors, the Cakebreads share such seasonal masterpieces as Sea Scallops with Sweet Corn, Roasted Peppers, and Shiitake Mushrooms, and Roast Pork Loin with Apple Brandy and Whole-Grain Mustard Sauce. Best of all, each recipe is paired with a Cakebread wine, making it possible to re-create the idyllic Napa Valley lifestyle at home. Publishers Weekly The owners of one of Napa's most beloved family-run wineries bring readers into the heart of wine country in this friendly volume, imparting the region's passion for seasonal food and well-crafted libations. The authors are sincere in their love of what they do and the cuisine that naturally accompanies it-Cakebread Cellars has been offering cooking classes since the late 1970s. Following an entertaining introduction to Cakebread Cellars and how it became a life's pursuit for the owners, the authors present tempting recipes drawing heavily from Napa Valley ingredients, including the wine itself. There are recipes for everything from appetizers, such as Bruschetta with Black Mission Figs and Gorgonzola, to desserts, such as Charentais Melon with Rubaiyat (a Cakebread specialty wine) and Raspberries. Two wine recommendations accompany each recipe-one for the appropriate Cakebread wine, and another for the general kind of wine (e.g., "a dry, round, complex sauvignon blanc"). (Oct.)
