Books by Lora Zarubin

Lora Zarubin, a native of San Francisco, knew since she was three years old that cooking was her passion and spent many of her childhood days cooking with her grandmothers. She has traveled extensively throughout Europe, and spent time in India, which helped to form her tastes and her lifelong belief that the best food is regional and seasonal. Zarubin was the founder and owner of "Good Food Catering" in California and in 1992, she opened her own restaurant, Lora, in Greenwich Village to rave reviews from Gourmet magazine and the New York Times. Zarubin closed her namesake restaurant in 1995, and has been House & Garden magazine's food editor since 1996. Tessa Traeger is one of the outstanding still-life photographers of her generation and has exhibited regularly since 1978 in Paris, London, Hamburg, and New York. She is especially known for her photographs taken on large format cameras, many of which were published during her long association with British Vogue.
