Book SynopsisA gorgeous restaurant book celebrating a pocket-sized world-class spot on a tiny island, where "local" rules and the meal is the best of its kind.
Trade Review" [A]n intimate look inside the creative vision and techniques of chef Blaine Wetzel and his Willows Inn restaurant in Washington State's San Juan Islands. It begins with nearly 100 pages of lush and gorgeously illustrated essays about Lummi Island, its wild foods, fishermen and small farmers, and the daily work of the restaurant over one year... Any adventurous, experienced cook will find fresh ideas here, and those living near wild places may be inspired to forage for new flavors close to home. ... Discover: The beautiful and wild culinary visions of chef Blaine Wetzel. --Shelf Awareness, starred review "Wetzel's first book is a work of art... The recipes are clearly written, and the adventurous home cook with access to a broad array of ingredients will delight in replicating dishes served at the Willows. For fans of such high-end regional cookbooks as Magnus Nilsson's Faviken and Sean Brock's Heritage." --Library Journal "This book is written with passion and talent. It is outstanding. It will make a great gift."?-Edouard Cointreau, President of the Jury - Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
