Recipes

Some of Napa Valley's most popular chefs and cookbook authors come to the St. Helena Farmers' Market every Friday. They shop or pick up produce orders from the farmers. And almost every other week, one of them does a cooking demo at the canopy under the Redwoods at the end of the market(Click here for the Events Calendar). We're lucky to have a collection of recipes from their visits. During the season, we'll add more recipes, so please check back often.
Click on the icons below to see a selection of the Chefs that graciously gave us their time during the 2012 Season.
