The Great Chefs of Virginia Cookbook

By Marcel Desaulniers, Collected by the Virginia Chefs Association, Marcel Desauliniers, President,, Virginia Chef's Association

Book Overview

As demonstrated herein, Virginians throughout their history have a special knack for things culinary. The recipes in this book, all from contemporary Virginia chefs, reflect a similar eclecticism. As before, the chefs are characterized by a notable diversity of backgrounds, both cultural and professional. The chefs are bound by a passion for cooking. The Virginia Chefs Association felt compelled by the continually increasing interest of Virginians in the chefs' work to produce a volume of recipes embodying that passion. Included in this text is the most exciting fare from their restaurants' kitchens as well as some of the chefs' favorites-home cooking in a truly Virginian sense. A technologically advanced world allows greater access to a plethora of possible ingredients. The essential tastes of Virginia and her rich culinary heritage, however, are still of primary importance. Almost two hundred delicious recipes are presented, with mouth-watering illustrations and short biographies of each contributor.
