The Farallon Cookbook by Mark Franz

The Farallon Cookbook by Mark Franz

Anyone who lives or visits San Francisco is probably familiar with the innovative food and sumptuous interiors of the Farallon restaurant. Named for the Islands off the coast of San Francisco, this irresistible dining destination is the brain-child of restaurant maven Pat Kuleto (also responsible for the famous Stars restaurant among others). Executive chef and co-owner Mark Franz (who insiders call "the star behind Stars") serves up what can best be described as "coastal cuisine", delectable seafood dishes inspired by the bounty of international waters. This beautifully designed large format book has 50 of Mark's signature recipes that have been carefully adapted for the serious home cook. Including more than just seafood, you'll find savory starters and entrees using duck, squab and veal as well as other game. The desserts in this book are no afterthought! Farallon's renowned pastry chef Emily Luchetti has put together a selection of luscious sweets - the perfect ending to a glorious meal. Unlike other "chef" cookbooks, all the recipes are designed to be prepared in the average kitchen with dozens of chef's tips to help the reader through the harder techniques and definitions of unusual terms and ingredients

Mark Franz is the Executive Chef and Co-owner of Farallon. His previous experience includes over a decade at Jeremiah Tower's Stars restaurant. He was chosen "Chef of the Year" by San Francisco Focus magazine in 1991. A graduate of the California Culinary Academy, he now lives in California's Marin County. Lisa Weiss is a professionally trained and accomplished home cook. Although starting her career as a graphic artist, she decided to marry her skills in design with her passion for food and became a food stylist. This led to recipe development, testing and freelance food writing for publications like Cook's Illustrated and Cooking Light. Emily Luchetti is the Executive Pastry Chef at Farallon. She worked with Mark Franz at Stars, where she spent 11 years - 7 as the pastry chef. While at Stars she authored two books, Stars Desserts and Four Star Desserts (this was nominated for a James Beard award). She lives in the Bay Area.
