Napa is known around the world for its exquisite wine and food. While visiting my mom and sister this week, we dined at three recommended restaurants, enjoying the farm-to-table cuisine, and were inspired to create our own fine dining experience at home, Napa-style.

While living in Lima, Peru, Amanda & I fell in love with the country’s classic seafood dish, ceviche. This recipe comes from the world-famous Peruvian restaurateur and chef, Martin Morales, and his colorful cookbook: Andina.

Mustards Ahi Tuna Sandwich

Mustards Ahi Tuna Sandwich

This recipe comes from my favorite restaurant in Napa, Mustards Grill. It’s become a tradition to eat lunch at Mustards at least once with the family when out visiting over Christmas and this time I bought their cookbook as a present to myself after another great meal. Give them a visit the next time you’re in California wine country!

Was lucky to get a picture of this one. Gracie tried to snatch the trout from the counter when I left the room but fortunately only came away with its tail. Hope she enjoyed the fish as much as I did. Mulliard!
