John Ash internationally recognized chef, educator, author, and one of the creators of California Wine Country Cuisine I’ve dined at the girl & the fig many times over the past few years. I love the food and atmosphere that Sondra has created, and John’s cooking is a hallmark of what great food should be: approachable and full of flavor. The cookbook is the same, and both beginner as well as seasoned cooks will find lots of tasty treasures in it.
