Planting roots : a culinary guide to embracing Walla Walla's terroir

"I submit this cookbook, then, as an attempt to inspire both appreciation and an eagerness to cook. Those two sentiments, I believe, should work hand-in-hand. This book takes up the call to action that these restaurants and their cookbooks ask of us -- that we can all embrace local terroir and creative process in our own communities -- but does so in a way that I hope is more accessible." -- pages 4-5
