Books By Charlie Palmer, Matthew Villano - Author

Charlie Palmer was an early advocate of farm over factory food. In 1988, he made a landmark commitment to creating dishes featuring regional American ingredients at his New York City restaurant Aureole, which earned 13 Michelin stars and two James Beard awards. In 2003, after falling in love with California wine country, Palmer opened his restaurant Dry Creek Kitchen in downtown Healdsburg, which continues today to source the majority of its produce from local farms and highlights California producers on its award wining wine list. Palmer splits his time between his homes in Sonoma County and New York City.
