7. Featured Cookbook: West Restaurant: The Cookbook by Warren Geraghty
West Restaurant: The Cookbook
Warren Geraghty
Douglas & McIntyre
2008
In 2000, West began its restaurant existence as Ouest, a French fine dining destination in the heart of Vancouver. Since then it has transformed to the West of today, a restaurant that painstakingly works with the best local ingredients to produce regionally authentic, imaginative cuisine. Over 100 recipes from the Vancouver culinary gem fill the pages of this cookbook, dishes that showcase the seasonality and character of the city, including the immigrant influences that shape Vancouver's cuisine. Contributions from Chef Warren Geraghty as well as Pastry Chef Rhonda Viani, Wine Director Owen Knowlton, and Mixologist David Wolowidnyk make this a well-rounded exhibition of Vancouver's increasingly-and deservedly-recognized culinary sophistication.

10. Recipe for Spring Lamb Persille with Toasted Pistachios and Stone Fruit Marmalade by William Bradley of the Addison - San Diego, CA
 Adapted by StarChefs.com
April 2010
Yield: 4 Servings
INGREDIENTS
Spring Lamb:
2 Frenched racks of Colorado lamb
French sea salt and pepper
Toasted Pistachios:
4 cups pistachios
2½ cups sugar
1½ cups pistachio oil
Stone Fruit Marmalade:
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup dried plums
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup dried dates
1 tablespoon saffron
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 pint water
1 cup orange juice
To Assemble and Serve:
½ cup chopped parsley
METHOD:
For the Spring Lamb:
Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Place lamb racks on a heated grill. Grill each side for 5 minutes. Then remove lamb and let rest at room temperature.
For the Toasted Pistachios:
Preheat oven to 300°F. Put the pistachios in a mixing bowl. Add 4 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 4 tablespoons pistachio oil and mix thoroughly. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the pistachios from oven and put them (still warm) in a food processor. On the puree setting, slowly add the remaining pistachio oil, and continue to puree until smooth.
For the Stone Fruit Marmalade:
In a large saucepan, combine the dried cherries, dried plums, dried apricots, dried dates, saffron, curry powder, red wine vinegar, water, orange juice, salt, and the remaining sugar and cook over low flame for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
To Assemble and Serve:
Season the cooked lamb with sea salt and chopped parsley. Slice each rack into 6 pieces and place a piece in the center of each plate. Place pistachio puree and stone fruit marmalade alongside the sliced lamb.
