Amazon.com Review
M.F.K. Fisher, Kathleen Hill's friend and colleague, gave Kathleen the standard good advice: that she write about what she knows. For Kathleen, that meant the good life. Her background was in culinary arts, and her husband, Gerald, was experienced in travel and history writing. Together, they've taken on the Monterey and Carmel region in this delightful guide--introducing an area of sumptuous beauty, incomparable wineries, superior shopping, premier dining and lodging, and a vast array of other assorted pleasures. They know all the best wineries, and include extras--such as Bonny Doon's recipe for grilled peaches with raspberry purée. They know where to go for the finest artichokes and local albacore salad, how to tour the world of John Steinbeck, and where to stay in Queen-Anne-Victorian-mansion-splendor, with decadent breakfasts, afternoon teas, and night-time champagne. In short, they know everything that's worth knowing about living life to the fullest, and they share it--complete with street maps, festival details, and comprehensive history--so you can reap the Monterey and Carmel bounty too. --Stephanie Gold
