Wine Country Cooking
The next book we are reading and cooking from for the MKMT Cookbook Club is Joanne Weir’s Wine Country Cooking. I’ve already read most of it and can’t wait to dig in and start cooking! This weekend I plan to make the Winter White Salad With a Hint of Green and the Pork Tenderloin with Onion, Orange, and Raisin Marmalade. How does that sound for the backbone of a rainy winter dinner with the parents? I’ll be sure to report back on how the meal turns out.
“A Latitude and an Attitude” is the title of the forward which begins with a lesson in the geography of the thirty-eight parallel which runs through the regions in Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Turkey that are responsible for the Mediterranean food, wine and lifestyle influence that we enjoy in our fabulous Northern California wine country. I toast the 38th with a big thank you… we are lucky to be aligned.
This appears to be one of those books that will grow worn with wear and quickly become a kitchen staple. I’ll be cooking from it for the next month and after we gather to sample many of the recipes look forward to posting the feedback and sharing the highlights.

Sounds like the kind of meal “the parents” will look forward too. They’ll let you know if it lived up to the hype.
The crab cakes were outstanding.
The pork was moist, tender and tasty.
The Asparagus and potatoes were both a + maybe the potatoes a ++
The lemon desert was unbelievable.
Spending a night with” the kids” priceless.
