Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking

America’s Fruit Basket, Central California (2x10)

Air date: Nov 08, 2014

Central California, also known as "America’s Fruit Basket," is the setting for a multi-cultural feast in this episode of Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking. Joining Pete are chefs David Lentz, from L.A.’s Hungry Cat restaurant, and Anthony Lamas, a central California native who now runs Seviche restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky. The morning starts off with a relaxing (and very productive) fishing trip on Bass Lake—no one wants to leave, but there are lots of hungry folks waiting to eat! Next, the group stops at one of the many local orchards to pick juicy peaches and nectarines for a stone-fruit salsa to accompany spicy grilled pork, and get some California raisins for an updated raisin-carrot salad. Rainbow trout is grilled perfectly with charred dandelion greens, and the crowd enjoys it alfresco in Fresno—with some Bourbon Mojitos as well.
