Description
The Foreign Cinema Cookbook captures the essence of a unique dining experience that has enchanted visitors since 1999. Located in the Mission District of San Francisco, Foreign Cinema was a pioneer in transforming the area into a culinary destination with its dramatic atrium dining where films screen nightly.
For the first time, chef-owners Gayle Pirie and John Clark share the best of their distinctive North African and California-Mediterranean menu. This cookbook features 125 signature dishes that have contributed to their acclaim.
The collection includes their award-winning brunch favourites like Champagne Omelet and Persian Bloody Mary. For cocktail hour, try their Lavender Baked Goat Cheese in Fig Leaves. Dinner offerings are equally enticing, with dishes such as Five-Spice Duck Breast with Cassis Sauce and Madras Curry Fried Chicken with Spiced Honey. There are also instructions on how to blend spice staples, such as Ras el Hanout.
With rich storytelling throughout, Pirie and Clark offer home cooks the opportunity to bring the restaurant's iconic flavours into their own kitchens.
