Healdsburg Shed and Deborah Madison's Book Vegetable Literacy

Dave had volunteered with Niki Ford in the Kitchen Garden at Montalvo, so when we found out she was at the Shed in Healdsburg as the Culinary Director, we kept a close watch on the opening, and since we like the wine country anyway, we thought it was worth it to take a short trip up from Cupertino to see it.

We were there to see what the Shed was all about and to attend  A Conversation with Author Deborah Madison led by local food and radio personality, Michele Anna Jordan. Deborah has a new book out called "Vegetable Literacy" and the conversation was centered around that.  The room was quite full, the conversation was interesting and lively. Afterwards, Niki Ford prepared some of the recipes from the book for sampling, and there was a book signing.  Michele Anna Jordan also had her book there called " Vinaigrettes-Other-Dressings-Sensational-recipes"
