Wino and Texas French,
Margaret Fox, former chef-owner of Cafe Beaujolais, is a personal friend. She gave me this coffee cake recipe a long time ago, shortly before her first cookbook (Cafe Beaujolais) was published. I use the recipe card she wrote it out on. I was soooo sleepy when I posted the recipe and totally forgot to credit Margaret. Thank you so much for pointing it out to me. Before I posted the recipe, I emailed Margaret for permission and received an email back. I'll copy the relevant part here:
Please feel free to post the coffeecake recipe and credit my new MORNING FOOD cookbook (2006, Ten Speed Press) which was just released. The book is for sale at all the bookstores, and I will also sell it on my website (www.MargaretFox.com) in case anyone wants one personally inscribed.
I recently bought both of the San Francisco Chronicle cookbooks, but I wasn't aware that her recipe was in one of them. I like one of them better than the other, but I can't remember which now.
When Margaret and her husband parted ways, she sold Cafe Beaujolais to him. I don't know whether he's still the chef there or not. Do either of you know? It was a wonderful restaurant when she was chef there, and we always stopped in when we visited Mendocino. Margaret also has a cookbook called EVENING FOOD, but reviews made me think I wouldn't enjoy it. Does anyone here have that one? Her MORNING FOOD cookbook is full of good recipes.
Wino, thanks for that link to the L.A. Times. I didn't know about that article, and it was really interesting! That Mendocino Frittata is on my list of "must makes." Yummm!
