You must live in a beautiful place. Yes, but now you can remember it with the cookbook. She’s done such a beautiful job.

I have grown up with Nepenthe right down the way from me.
I am thrilled to see the hard work and love that went into writing the sounds and smells and stories of this magical place of the 60′s and 70′s. That place, alas, is long gone.

Hey John, nice to hear from you. I’m so glad this post stirred up a good memory for you. You’ll find lots of photos of Nepenthe inside.

Holy Cow!

What a blast from the past!
In 1998, I visited Nepenthe as I travelled up Highway 1 from L.A.

This picture tweeked my memories of a fabulous lunch at what I always reffered to as “That place in Big Sur that was pearched on the mountain at the curve in the road.”

Now, I’ve gotta get this book.
Thanks Dianne!

Oh, such a lovely story. And such a lovely cookbook! I grew up in Monterey and spent many hours at Nepenthe. Such a beautiful place and it holds such memories. Thank you, Nani, for sharing this with us and thank you for helping it to come to fruition, Dianne!

Thanks. How do you buy an American book in Paris? Probably on Amazon.

Dianne, I love this story! I saw this stunning book and fell in love instantly. Hearing Nani’s story and how all of you came together to put this enchanting imagery into print gives the book profound new beauty. Some stories are meant to be told. I’m so glad she told hers, that you’ve shared this one to inspire the rest of us to keep writing and telling ours.
