About the Book

This book chronicles the beauty and bounty of the Finger Lakes region, including its historical inhabitants, its natural bounty, and the modern incarnation of those attributes as it pertains to local food and wine. The story is told through the wisdom of the people who have been and still are in the Finger Lakes region, from Reverend William Bostwick, who planted the first grape crop in Hammondsport in 1829, to Dr. Konstantin Frank, who revolutionized the wine industry in New York State by successfully growing vinifera grapes in the Finger Lakes, spearheading a significant American wine region.

The narrative continues with contemporary stories of winemakers, produce growers, and husbandry families that explain the choices they made and continue to make as they face the challenges and opportunities that the Finger Lakes region provides. The book also chronicles the active locavore movement that follows the march of fruits and vegetables maturing in succession from May through November, and features recipes from local restaurateurs whose cuisine is inspired by this annual parade of the region's bounty.

With color photographs featuring the people, food and wines of the Finger Lakes, this book will appeal to anyone who lives in or visits this culinary paradise.

Review :
Timeless Bounty takes a broader look at the agricultural history of the Finger Lakes. The book's narrative reminds the reader that the roots of the region's farming industry are not limited to grapes alone... The book doesn't just give a history lesson, but from early on provides relevant recipes from the Finger Lakes' story. Pellechia concludes with ways to cook with the very goods that have made this region thrive. -- David Austen The Dundee Observer, September 17, 2014 Illustrated with beautiful color photography, Timeless Bounty: Food and Wine in New York's Finger Lakes is a tribute to the culinary and wine traditions of the Finger Lakes region of New York, which are directly connected to the region's agricultural bounty. From the story of Reverend William Bostwick, who planted the first grape crop in Hammondsport in 1829, to Dr. Konstantin Frank, who successfully grew vinifera grapes in the region, to modern-day produce growers and winemakers, Timeless Bounty is as much historical chronicle as it is a celebration. The "locavore" movement (emphasizing locally grown food) is also covered, and a handful of recipes from area restaurateurs rounds out this gourmet and wine connoisseur's treasure. -- James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief Midwest Book Review, November 2014
