A New Napa Cuisine by Christopher Kostow
Follow Christopher Kostow's journey from a young line cook in a seaside town to the storied Restaurant at Meadowood, the Napa Valley mainstay that has earned three Michelin stars and James Beard Awards for best chef and outstanding service under Kostow's leadership.Through 100 artfully constructed recipes and stunning photography, Kostow details the transformative effect this small American valley has had on his life and work--introducing us to the artisans, products, growers, and wild ingredients that inspire his unparalleled food. As he shares stories of discovering wild plums and radishes growing along the creek behind his home or of firing pottery with local ceramists, Kostow presents a new Napa cuisine--one deeply rooted in a place that's rich in beauty, history, and community.
Christopher Kostow is the critically acclaimed chef at The Restaurant at Meadowood in St. Helena, California, and one of the youngest chefs ever to receive three Michelin stars. A Chicago native, Kostow has cooked in such celebrated kitchens as George's at the Cove in San Diego, Campton Place in San Francisco, Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, France, and Chez TJ in Mountain View, California, where he earned two Michelin stars. He was named one of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs in 2009 and won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: West in 2013; The Restaurant at Meadowood won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Service in 2014. Christopher lives in St. Helena with his wife, Martina, and their daughter, Daisy.
