The Vintner's Kitchen: celebrating the wines of Oregon
Have you ever noticed the Avocado Crostini in the photos for Rustle-Prayer Rock Vineyard while waiting for a movie to start at the cinema? Thought it looked good? Now you can learn how to make it-- and which wine goes best with it. Fruit salads, entrees, wine punches, pasta and barbecue-- this cookbook has a little of everything, and many of the recipes are from the Umpqua area.

Combine grilling with history-- and savor some of the Old West in your own kitchen or backyard with this collection of cowboy meals from the 1800s through the present. Hint: it helps if you like beans.
What I Eat: around the world in 80 diets
This isn't a cookbook, exactly, but if your travel budget is stretched thin and you'd like to experience the world through food, this might be just the ticket.

Even more interesting-- calorie counts and meal lists are provided, as well as a brief snapshot of each person's "daily routine."
