Each time people come to Chinook Vineyards to volunteer or just to visit, they are rewarded with some pretty good home cooked food to accompany our fine local Ramona Valley and Back Country wines. Often we are asked for a recipe, so in response to these requests and for the entertainment of others, we are writing a cookbook. We will present some of our most popular recipes here from time to time. Please enjoy! |
There are 4 of us who regularly combine talents and time to cook for events, parties, showers and weddings for friends and family. We are all pretty good cooks and work well together. Anna makes a delicious, elegant looking tart that is wonderful as an appetizer, or an entrée with a salad and crusty bread. When we were throwing a friend a 65th birthday party, Anna offered to do her tarts which we all readily accepted. However, if we’d known it was so easy to make, we’d have put her in charge of something else too!
