Denver Boulder Chef's Table: Extraordinary Recipes From The Colorado Front Range [Paperback]

Landscape has everything to do with who Coloradans are and thus how they cook, eat, and drink. Ruggedness is a given: the cowboys and outlaws of the old Wild West have their modern-day equivalents in chefs and back-to-the-land enthusiasts who forage for forest mushrooms when they’re not tending to their beehives and chicken coops. This sense of adventure and emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients is imparted on every plate served in Denver and Boulder’s restaurants and eateries. Combined with a spotlight on cooking traditions from around the world, the Front Range dining scene has never felt so exciting and vibrant, all the while set against a singular backdrop: the Rocky Mountains.

Denver & Boulder Chef’s Tablegathers the cities’ best chefs and restaurants under one roof, featuring recipes for the home cook from over fifty of the region’s most celebrated restaurants and showcasing full-color photos of mouth-watering dishes, award-winning chefs, and lots of local flavor.Beginning her career in Boston at the turn of the millennium, Ruth Tobias is a Denver-based food-and-beverage writer, assistant editor at Sommelier Journal, and author of the blog Denveater.
