Joanne Weir's latest book is a treasure of wonderful recipes, and a must for any serious cook.

A note on the difference between this marvelous title and Joanne's earlier book entitled Weir Cooking: Recipes from the Wine Country (found at Joanne's web site):

"My new cookbook focuses on the fabulous ingredients found in the California wine country and uses some of my most favorite ingredients: olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, figs, lemons and herbs. My first TV companion book, Weir Cooking: Recipes from the Wine Country has been out of print for years, and this book includes those original recipes plus 50 brand new recipes, new headnotes, cooking tips, and of course fantastic wine pairings. Even the beautiful photos have taken on a new life! You will absolutely love cooking from this book!"

A toast to Joanne for creating her wonderful Mediterranean style recipes with wonderful wine pairings! My absolute favorite recipe is the Wine Country Flatbread with Grapes and Toasted Walnuts - so unique and a reflection of Joanne's style of using a few quality ingredients to create delicious, simple yet elegant recipes. Just cooked & baked Joanne's recipes for a dinner party and received rave reviews, especially for the Farmer's Market Risotto and the Pizza with Cherry Tomato and Basil Salad. Whether you wish to learn basic Mediterranean style recipes, or expand your culinary repertoire with some unique twists, Wine Country Cooking is sure to please your palette!

This cook book has lots of interesting recipes and I look forward to trying several of them this fall.

Joanne Weir has certainly done it again by producing yet another wonderful cookbook. The beautiful pictures definately do the recipes justice! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Joanne's writing makes the cookbook even more enjoyable. Two of my favs include the goat cheese gallette and the panna cotta! Out of all the cook books I have, I always find myself reaching for Joanne's. Please keep writing!

This book provides a wonderful assortment of delicious recipes. All of Joanne's cookbooks take into consideration the best of ingredients and the preparation instructions that making cooking a joy. Another treat from her for our table!

I can't say enough about Joanne Weir's latest triumph! These recipes are amazing (no surprise, all of her books are incredible). I've proudly added this to my Joanne Weir cookbook library and can't wait to get cooking.

I have been a fan of Joanne's for 15 years! Live from Cleveland, Ohio I cannot say enough about Jo-Jo's latest book! Outstanding! She has out done herself; a big hand to Ten Speed Press for a beautiful book! From Joanne's Golden Gazpacho to her Pineapple Sorbet with Fleur de Sel, and everything in between it is absolutely scrumptious! I adore Joanne's passion for food and method of teaching people that the world is full of wonderful flavors! She is a fourth generation cook and that innate instinct shows with this collection of recipes. This is a must have book for anyone who loves food!

Joanne's style of food is perfect. Easy to make, fresh and accessible ingredients, and most importantly the best tasting food. I always go to one of Joanne's books when I want to make something that I know will be really tasty. I put stickers on each recipe I just have to try. The problem is almost every page has a sticker! Her books are a must have, especially this one, Wine Country Cooking.
