Five-Star Cookbook Seasoned By Laguna Ties
Featured in Laguna Beach Independent, Nov 14, 2008

Marcella Rosene, part time Laguna Beach resident for 35 years, is the editor of Cooking with Les Dames d'Escoffier: At Home with the Women Who Shape the Way We Eat and Drink, published by Sasquatch Books in October. The cookbook gathers favorite recipes and food wisdom from Les Dames d'Escoffier, the association of women culinary professionals.

The organization's first national cookbook is filled with insights and tips for the home cook as well as 125 Dames' recipes.
Some California food stars are represented in the book, including Alice Waters, who wrote the forward, and Zov Karamardia, owner/founder of Tustin's Zov's Bistro. It includes previously unpublished material from both Julia Child and M.F.K. Fisher, perhaps the most lauded food writer of the 20th century, who summered in Laguna for many years.
