A Taste of Ojai: Flavors of the Valley by Chef Robin Goldstein. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781792318900.

Theres something special about Ojai. Our beautiful valley, backed by the Topatopa Mountains and bordering the Los Padres National Forest, is a haven for nature lovers, hikers, artists, spa-goers, and golfers. Ojai is a small town, only 10 by 3 miles wide, but its village-like center, Spanish architecture, and Mission-style main-street arcade is dotted with art galleries, chic boutiques, family-run businesses, and wine bars. With its hidden hot springs and storied spiritual vortex, Ojai is full of natural beauty, a place to refresh your senses, where city dwellers and a new wave of homesteaders come to escape the stresses of urban life. The many dishes in A Taste of Ojai--Flavors of The Valley, offer Mediterranean small plates, Mexican fare to vegan or vegetarian sustenance and California-centric provisions. A collection of more than 60 recipes for cocktails, appetizers, salads, main courses, side dishes, desserts, and more! All the dishes in this book have been created and prepared with love by local Chef Robin Goldstein. Chef Robin developed her unique repertoire of recipes while traveling and living in the Mediterranean area. As a private chef, she has cooked throughout the United States and internationally. As a caterer, personal chef, and cooking instructor, Chef Robin brings to the table her irresistible excitement about sharing fine food and wine with family and friends.
