Synopsis
Join British/American Journalist Frances Rivetti on a delicious romp through her adoptive Gold Rush-era city of Petaluma and surrounding Pacific coastal countryside, 40 miles north of San Francisco, Northern California. Fog Valley Crush is a love-letter to a micro-region of farmers, food innovators, artists and dreamers featuring a colorful assortment of friends, neighbors and a community's key farming players, past and present. A brief introduction to the author's native East Anglian Fenland sets the scene for a country-girl's coming-of-age and subsequent trans-Atlantic exploration of today's North American farm-to-table culture. Part memoir, part reportage, Fog Valley Crush is a celebration and a sharing of an extraordinary place the last secret corner of wine country. Everyone is welcome to the best of the west in the warm and quirky haven of earthy hospitality that is the farmstead frontier. Vintage and modern recipes are peppered throughout the pages of Fog Valley Crush, a taste of the region's pioneer roots paired with a community's present-day preference that harks back to a more wholesome way of life.

About the Author
Frances Rivetti is a fan of living and working off-the-beaten track in the friendly sort of hometown where she knows not just the neighbors by their first names, but most everyone else. Born and raised in a small, East Anglian market town, in England, the curious ex-pat British/American journalist and columnist has called the compact Victorian riverfront city of Petaluma home since 1992. She lives and writes in print and online at the foot of a hillside hobby vineyard with her husband, sons and an assortment of wine country critters.
