David Kinch ran Manresa in Los Gatos and, together with Love Apple Farms, built the deepest farm-to-kitchen partnership the US has ever seen, with hundreds of varieties grown exclusively for the restaurant. The book documents that period and features a foreword by Eric Ripert. Manresa earned its third star in 2016 and closed voluntarily at the end of 2022, after twenty years. Kinch is one of those chefs other chefs reference, which is a different kind of status than the one the public recognizes.
