This popular history, recipe and wine pairing book has been fully revised, enhanced and updated. Dive deeper into the traditional cooking and culture of the Haudenosaunee--the first people of the Finger Lakes region. Learn how this unique region was once teeming with salmon and why they no longer breed here. Uncover the speakeasy culture that prospered during Prohibition. Local author, sommelier and educator Laura Winter Falk reveals new regional chefs and their creative takes on period recipes, as well as the tremendous growth in the area's wine and craft beverages movement. With more excellent producers, restaurants and markets committed to showcasing the bounty of the region, there has never been a better time to discover the unique flavor of the Finger Lakes.
