Savoring Chelan: Pairing Local Wines with Regional Recipes
by Morgan Fraser

Summary

In Savoring Chelan: Pairing Local Wines with Regional Recipes, Manson native Morgan Fraser pairs Chelan Valley wines with recipes from the valley's chefs, winemakers and winery owners. Savoring Chelan is a compilation of local art, recipes and photography that showcase the Chelan Valley wines, produce and people.

"This book was created to share my love of the Chelan Valley with readers drawn to the area for its beauty, climate, food and wines," Fraser said in the book's foreword. "The chefs, cooks and winemakers who contributed feel the same way I do about the valley: that it is a unique place and experience that should be celebrated as such."

Savoring Chelan: Pairing Local Wines with Regional Recipes features more than 25 local contributors, including art from watercolor artist Kerry Siderius; photography by Richard Uhlhorn; and recipes from local chefs, winery and business owners, including winemakers Ray Sandidge and Shane Collins and Campbell's chef Troy Nesvacil. The book also includes wine pairings from 12 local wineries and vineyards.

Ten percent of the proceeds from each book will be donated to the Lake Chelan Food Bank.
