Synopsis

A companion volume to CAFE BEAUJOLAIS and MORNING FOOD, this is a celebration of a unique culinary life. Christopher Kump, dinner chef at Mendocino's Cafe Beaujolais (and husband of owner Margaret Fox), grew up in the most refined of American food circles, and his recipes have an international flair.

About this title

Review:

Chef Christopher Kump's cooking ranges from mashed-potatoes homey to black-truffle haute. Thanks to Evening Food, you can enjoy both sides of the intensely flavorful dishes he serves without trekking to Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino, California, where he works his magic. For a cozy dinner menu, serve Roasted Eggplant Tapenade Tart, followed by Roast Chicken with creamy Fish Ginger Sauce accompanied by Chive Mashed Potatoes, then finish with the nut-topped Pear and Apple Crisp. For a feast with luxe, Kump might recommend Sautéed Duck Foie Gras with Garlic Confit Purée, Oven-steamed Salmon Filet with Fresh Herb Sabayon Sauce (whose lemongrass seasoning gives new life to a classic), and his surprising Lemon-Chocolate Mousse for dessert.

In addition to the collection of mouthwatering recipes, Kump and Margaret Fox, Kump's wife and owner of Cafe Beaujolais, chat about their life, share anecdotes about the dishes, and provide information about ingredients and cooking techniques, such as how to remove pesky pin bones from a salmon filet using tweezers. Black-and-white photos illustrate the attraction of this little restaurant with world-class food, located in a remote, New-England-on-the-Pacific town. --Dana Jacobi
