Cafe Beaujolais

Dust jacket notes: "This is a book about a restaurant and the food for which it is famous; about the woman who started it, runs it, and cooks there; it is about cooking and about small towns; and finally it is about the people who have come to the restaurant to eat, to work, to enjoy. Margaret Fox points out that Café Beaujolais has achieved an unusual position both as a local hangout, and as a place that people will drive for hours to reach. The food. What about the food? There are 125 recipes here which are part of the permanent repertoire of Café Beaujolais. They do not come from a particular cuisine, but are a blend of a variety of cooking styles. And always there are the fresh vegetables and fruits from the local farms, and the herbs from the Café Beaujolais garden. There is a lot said here about the joys and pitfalls of operating a small restaurant - information that is not a part of the typical 'cookbook.' There is a natural curiosity among food lovers about this and we hope that it will only add to the reader's enjoyment. Since not everyone can visit Café Beaujolais, we have brought the sights and sounds, the color, the people, and the heart of the restaurant to you. Try these recipes and make that visit."
