Cafe Fina Cookbook

$39.95

Rooted in the story of Italian fishermen and restaurateurs on Monterey, California's historic Wharf, the Cafe Fina Cookbook is a deeply personal collection of my Mother and Grandmother and restaurant recipes from owner Dominic Mercurio. It also pays heartfelt tribute to Dominic's friend and business partner, the late NFL Hall of Fame Coach John Madden , a tribute, and many cherished photos. With a foreword by Emmy-winning CBS golf producer Lance Barrow, this cookbook is as much a piece of history as it is a kitchen companion. Perfect for home cooks and sports lovers alike. And not to mention Olive oil in many of the recipes.
