Book Description

Publication Date: April 1992

Dust jacket notes: "At last, the recipes from the highly successful Twin Cities restaurant, Cafe Brenda, are available in The Cafe Brenda Cookbook: Redefining Seafood and Vegetarian Cuisine. For years, Brenda Langton has led the way in bringing sophisticated but sensible vegetarian and seafood cooking to the Midwest. Like that of the East Coast's Silver Palate and the West Coast's Chez Panisse, Cafe Brenda's gourmet fare, the 'cuisine of a third coast,' has drawn raves from diners and critics alike. The recipes in The Cafe Brenda Cookbook express Langton's and Stuart's redefinition of health food.
