Straight From the Heart: Simply Beautiful Food from Taos, New Mexico
Straight From the Heart Simply Beautiful Food from Taos New Mexico Author:Lesley B. Fay Two weeks after Graham's Grille opened in March 2007, Peter looked at Lesley and saw an apparent wreck. Exhausted from the rigors of the opening and hobbling around on a broken ankle, it looked like the challenges had taken their toll. Peter asked her, "How the hell are you doing?". She barely paused before happily responding, &quo... more »t;I'm doing what I was meant to do".
Graham's Grille was an instant success with both locals and visitors, winning the coveted Best of Taos Award four years in a row (2007-2010). Lesley and Peter were also honored with the 2008 Hospitality Award from the Taos County Chamber of Commerce. Lesley is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals and in 2000 won a Gold Award at the Napa Valley Mustard Festival World-Wide Competition.
The story of chef Lesley's extraordinary life (along with her inspired collection of fabulous, straight-from-the-heart recipes) speaks to the enormous pleasure of cooking, eating and sharing the delicious results with loved ones and friends. Far more than an instruction manual - and even beyond the culinary secrets it so generously dishes out - this cookbook contains the spices, aromas, and hues of the good life, which shine from every one of its pages.« less
