Book Overview
Since Farallon opened in San Francisco's theater district in 1997, patrons of this critically acclaimed restaurant from across the country have given its innovative "coastal cuisine" rave reviews. Now, executive chef and co-owner Mark Franz has compiled the recipes that have taken the culinary world by storm. The Farallon Cookbook will take serious home cooks on an undersea voyage, indulging in such ocean delights as Peeky-Toe Crab with Truffled Mashed Potatoes or Rosemary Seared Prawns with Saffron Risotto. Seafood is not Mark's only specialty. He's also famous for his succulent Braised Veal with Lobster Tails and savory Roasted Quail Stuffed with Armagnac Laced Prunes. This handsome volume--as stunning as the restaurant itself--is packed with tips from the chef, techniques to simplify the recipes, and an irresistible selection of desserts from Farallon's celebrated pastry chef Emily Luchetti.

As the previous reviewer noted the recipes are time consuming but the author offers detailed tips on improvisations, making certain components in advance, simpliyfing by giving short-cuts and recommendations for wine. Good book overall.
Sumptuous San Francisco Food
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I am surprised that this book has not been reviewed before...I have been to Farallon for lunch today as part of San Francisco Dine-About-Town promotion, where a set 3 course lunch costs just $19.95 during the month of January. This is one of the top sea food restaurants in town and I was not disappointed. Both the food and the decor were outstanding. I enjoyed my lunch so much that I went and bought the book from the near by Borders Bookstore on Powell Street.Tonight, I put the book to test and invited few friends over to dinner. After a hard days work in investment banking, together we prepared Rosemary-Seared Prawns with Saffron Risotto and Roasted-Beef Vinaigrette with Pea Shoot Salad. It took a long time to prepare the food but the result was a sumptuous dine in with friends. What a way to relax! I gave this book only four stars just because the menus are very complex and time consuming but well worth the effort. I'll definitely visit the restaurant again.
