  Recreate The Va de Vi Experience at Home: The Va de Vi Cookbook is Now Available!

Perfect for holiday gift giving, The Va de Vi Cookbook features over 70 delicious recipes from Kelly Degala’s Va de Vi menu plus an illuminating discussion on wine tastes and styles by Brendan Eliason. The book is colorful and smartly designed, rich with photographs, and features food drawings by Chef Degala. The Va de Vi Cookbook provides the perfect opportunity to recreate the Va de Vi food and wine experience at home.

Organized by season and taking advantage of the freshest available ingredients, Chef Degala’s recipes are meant to be an inspiration for all cooks, both the experienced and the novice. Chef Kelly shares his culinary background and reveals the influences that have shaped his flavor profile. He also shares techniques and helpful tips that make cooking his recipes interesting and fun. There is even a section devoted to having a small plate party at home.

Brendan Eliason was recently named Best Wine Director in the East Bay by Diablo magazine. Va de Vi’s wine program is a reflection of Brendan’s unique, relaxed approach to the world of food and wine. The cookbook’s wine section is both factual and refreshing, providing information that is sure to interest anyone who enjoys a glass of wine, be it every day or occasionally. Brendan explores food and wine pairing, wine styles and why wine tastes differently to different people. He has also included a step-by-step guide to create your own personal wine flights to enjoy with friends and family at home.
