Book Description

March 1, 1997
Mendocino is far more than its rugged coastline. This full-color guide explores the fertile Anderson Valley, where picturesque wineries offer some of the finest wines in California, including excellent Chardonnays, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Noirs; coastal villages where family-run fisheries yield fresh crab, cod, snapper, and salmon; and the many corners of Mendocino County where distinctive breweries, gourmet food suppliers, and locally owned farms and orchards produce everything from prime meats to succulent fruits and berries. Photographer Richard Gillette captures all the charm and beauty of this idyllic county, while author Heidi Cusick provides engaging history and practical information. For natives, visitors, and armchair travelers, Mendocino offers a delicious portrait of a magical place.

Review

-- California Visitor's Review, June 1997
Mendocino: The Ultimate Wine and Food Lover's Guide is authored by nationally-acclaimed food and wine writer and culinary instructor Heidi Haughy Cusick. The exquisite photography was done by Sonoma County resident Richard Gillette.

The book shows the depth of Mendocino County's wineries, breweries and food purveyors with stunning full-color photographs, giving engaging historical vignettes and presenting practical guides and maps for visitors coming to this idyllic region of Northern California. It truly illuminates why this area and its resulting products are unique. Where else can you find pickles (marketed under the label Pickles From the Sea) made from bullwhip kelp?

Also included in the book is a forward by noted restaurateur and cookbook author Margret Fox of Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino County makes for interesting and informative reading.

Cusick's food and wine related articles have been published in such magazines and periodicals as Appellation, Wine Enthusiast, Chef, Bay Food, San Francisco Chronicle and The Press Democrat. She has taught culinary classes, led tours through southern France and has taught "Eat My Word" food writing workshops.
