"This cookbook explains the concept behind Foreign Cinema, the quintessential San Francisco food-and-film restaurant, and offers a loving history of the Mission District neighborhood it calls home. Fun fact: The “Black Sabbath” cocktail – the ingredient list includes Prosecco and blood orange liqueur – was a nod to Italian horror film I Tre Volti della Paura, later called Black Sabbath. Renowned chef Alice Waters wrote the introduction, and film references are woven between recipes for seared sea scallops with Champagne butter sauce, brown sugar-smoked bacon and Tahitian vanilla Pavlova with strawberry coulis and rose-scented rhubarb."
