Latest book featuring Sara’s photography is Vino Argentino, an homage to that Latin American country’s wine regions.

While the Andes served as daily backdrop, Sara and her assistant drove from vineyard-to-vineyard in Mendoza, back to shooting portraits, back to vineyards, to a gorgeous tango couple dancing in a park, etc.,. And speaking of homage, here was a fresh from a night in the cabin, a 7:00 a.m. perky, somewhat still pj’d, Sara performing her own Argentino homage.

It’s fascinating to be privy to the world of books and food while knowing the goal throughout is to ultimately combine the two loves into tried and true cookbooks for a hungry audience. Participating in the creation is a lot of work but certainly a printed & bound legacy for all involved - and since having the good sense to join forces with Sara, we’ve got a Tidepool cookbook library forming too. This beauty, entitled DIY Delicious: Recipes and Ideas for Simple Food from Scratch comes from author Vanessa Barrington’s belief that there is a DIY cook that exists on some level in all of us. And we’ve got a few extras too so if you’re wanting one, send up a flare please - happy to feed the DIY in you (or just start with a recipe below works too).
