A former chef-owner, Franca maintains her passion for cooking and offers Saturtadys private dinners and Sundays cooking classes in Spanish and English in the open-air kitchen of her home on the Pacific Ocean.

The recipes in her book The Precious Ingredient have travelled from the Italian Alps to the American Rockies, and finally to the southern Pacific Coast of Mexico.

Until 2001, Franca served many of these recipes at her intimate three-star restaurant - Franca's Italian Dining - located in Cody, Wyoming.

The Precious Ingredient

A menu selections and work plans section ends the book and it is intended to aid the reader in successfully putting together a dinner party.

The enthusiastic response I have been receiving from people who read it, gives me enough confidence to present this book as an engaging and innovative have to have in my library type of cookbook. Retail price $18.00. (For shipping within the U.S.A.)
