Books by Lisa Messinger

Gourmet chef John Vrattos and bestselling food writer Lisa Messinger guide the reader through the process of carving out a bread bowl and filling it with dozens and dozens of recipes. Includes dishes specially developed by San Francisco's top chefs.

Set against the backdrop of the "perfect" middle-class family, Messinger's story tells of her need to excel in school and her budding career on the sets of America's most popular television shows.
