Wolfgang Puck at Spago

Every Christmas Eve my family and I eat at Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant, Spago, in Beaver Creek, CO. We have great memories of family and food at the restaurant, and tonight’s dinner was made extra special by a visit with Wolfgang.

Prior to visiting with Wolfgang, we enjoyed an incredible meal that included pretzel rolls, handcut taglietelle with porcini mushrooms, tuna tartare in sesame cones, pork weiner schnitzel and a creme fraiche pancake with organic strawberries. Needless to say, the food was outstanding and complemented the inviting ambiance of this restaurant that is nestled within a ski resort.

Spago was selling Wolfgang’s new cookbook, Wolfgang Puck Makes it Easy: a Step-by-Step Recipe Collection for the Home Cook, and Wolfgang was kind enough to personalize a copy to add to my growing collection. I look forward to testing many of the recipes in the book and highlighting the best of the best here on Just a Taste.

Happy holidays to everyone!
