cook something sexy
with the girl and the fig

Lobster Scented Risotto...
Saffron Sauce...
Warm Fig and Thyme Crisp...

These are the foods of California Wine Country at their most sensual. And now, thanks to the Girl and the Fig Cookbook, you can make them at home.

Even a kitchen virgin can make the Champagne Vinagrette or the Rosemary Skewered Figs. Although the book comes from one of the Wine Country’s most popular restaurants, The Girl and the Fig, many recipes contain no more than 6 ingredients and one paragraph of instructions. More involved recipes share the secrets of some of the restaurant’s signature dishes.

The recipes feature Wine Country ingredients, most notably the fig, one of Life of Reiley’s favorite foods of temptation. It is for this, and the passion the Girl and the Fig brings to every recipe it produces, that we declare The Girl and the Fig Cookbook Venus’s favorite restaurant cookbook.
