 Since I began cooking professionally 23 years ago, I’ve had a strong belief that the use of regional, seasonal ingredients is important on many different levels. It promotes sustainability, showcases local producers, and provides the finest dining experience to the customer. Here in the Napa Valley we are particularly blessed with a wide range of such products, from produce and meats to fish and fruits, as well as artisan breads, cheeses, oils and much more. Just as I believe that there is no substitute for finely honed kitchen skills among the kitchen staff I have hired when I opened my own restaurant last November, I also believe that there is no substitute for seasonal ingredients. That is a guiding light behind the menu development at Hurley’s. |
