Wine Country Cooking

Wine Country Cooking is the culmination of years of the Glenora enterprise's experience in wine, food, and hospitality. The book contains more than eighty recipes from Glenora s Executive Chef Orlando Rodriguez, grouped according to wine pairing suggestions by Glenora winemaker Steve DiFrancisco. Dishes included in the cookbook range from Cabernet-Braised Short Ribs to Gewurz-Steamed Littleneck Clams, and Riesling-Poached Peaches. Wine Country Cooking provides an exhilarating companion to the range of regional wines, matching the diversity of regional ingredients in sometimes surprising, always delightful ways, perfect for the home cook, whether cooking for entertainment, or just for the family. Glenora Wine Cellars was founded in Dundee, on the west shore of Seneca Lake, by grapegrowers Ed Dalrymple, Eastman Beers, and Gene Pierce. Over the past 32 years, the enterprise has distinguished itself with award winning wines and successfully grown to include a 30-room inn and Veraisons, a fine-dining restaurant with an outdoor dining patio and sweeping views of the vineyards.

Mama Red's Comfort Kitchen
Honest Southern cooking is an art form all its own, and no one does it with more culinary bravado than Chef Samantha Izzo (a.k.a. Mama Red). She connects the cooking of her own South African homeland with its influence on the regional cuisine of the American South, and she does it with a style that has rightly earned the affection of her restaurant's patrons. No comfort food enthusiast should be without this cookbook, packed with simple, careful recipes from the magical Monday nights at Simply Red Bistro, one of the most celebrated restaurants in New York's Finger Lakes. Samantha has gathered recipes for scrumptious dishes, piled high with flavor, each introduced with advice, encouragement, and the real lowdown from Mama herself. Make Mama Red proud as you re-create a bit of her artistry in the comfort of your own kitchen.

The Allens Hill Farm Cookbook:
Recipes from Our Family to Yours
The Loveland family produces apple cider molasses, apple syrups, glazes, pancake, cookie, cake and bread mixes, and granola in a beautiful corner of New York's Finger Lakes called "Allens Hill."

The recipes are interesting, straight-forward and reproducible by anyone with even the most basic cooking skills, intended to serve as a springboard for your own innovations.

Invite your kids, spouse and friends into the kitchen with John Loveland. There is such a feeling of satisfaction that comes from enjoying and sharing the wonderful results of your own culinary labors.
