Tassajara, the California spa/retreat center, has long been renowned for its gourmet vegetarian cuisine. In this comprehensive book, one of Tassajara's most well-known and beloved cooks presents hundreds of recipes using fresh, whole foods.

"The Tassajara Bread Book" has been a favorite among renowned chefs and novice bakers alike for more than 30 years. In this deluxe edition, the same clear instructions and wonderful recipes are presented in a new hardcover format.

When it was first issued, "Tassajara Cooking " became an overnight classic.

This groundbreaking book, in a completely redesigned format, is just as timely and relevant today, more than thirty years later.
Brown discusses methods for working with vegetables, grains, beans, dairy products, and fruits; cooking techniques; and suggestions for planning good tasting, nutritious meals, from soups and salads to desserts. Generously seasoned with illustrations that detail every part of the cooking process, "Tassajara Cooking " is a comprehensive guide to inspired cooking, with joy.
