Me with my son Sam at the La Jolla Open Aire Market on Sunday morning

La Jolla, Let's Celebrate Food + Art + Wine F IS FOR “FOODIE,” A PERSON WITH A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN FOOD. Someone who’s always up for trying new places and has a refined but adventurous palate.

And this month at La Jolla Lifestyle, we’re all about feasting with foodies as we just scratch the surface of all the fine eats and drinks La Jolla has to offer.

The dog days of summer brought us ice cream, refreshing salads and cocktails enjoyed by the pool and beach days as we worked to stay cool during those hot summer days

we had, vacations and, of course, our abundant sunshine.

But the autumnal days of October bring us chili cooking on the stove, seasonal fruits and veggies and pumpkin spice, well, pretty much everything, as we celebrate football season, some warm-weather relief and shorter days moving toward the end of the year.

Whether you consider yourself a foodie, a gourmet, an epicure or just an average eater; whether you’re into the fresh fruits and finds at the La Jolla Open Aire Market every Sunday, craft beer at your favorite brewery, a latte from your favorite café, or just a pumpkin full of leftover Halloween candy, we hope this issue inspires you to check out the amazing food scene right here in La Jolla.

This month we're proud too to celebrate the 10th year of the La Jolla Art + Wine Festival Oct. 6-7. #LJAWF Amazing art, award-winning wineries and breweries, fun for the whole family!

Plus this year is the 20th anniversary of the La Jolla Open Aire Market, a weekly exploration into locally grown perfection for the whole family! My daughter, son and I can be seen there just about every week; it's our family tradition on Sunday mornings before or after church. The

La Jolla Open Aire Market is different than other farmers markets in that all proceeds benefit La Jolla Elementary, a public school. The proceeds from the market fund various initiatives enjoyed by all children at LJES, including school improvements and programs such as art, music, library, technology and additional classroom teachers to lower class sizes. The market was started by former La Jolla Elementary School mom and La Jolla community supporter Sherry Ahern. In 1996, Sherry had two children enrolled at LJES and was on the Friends of

motivation for the market was to help fund a library and librarian. At the time, the school’s “library” consisted only of a small collection of books in the back of the auditorium.

FOOD STYLING 101

with Mimi’s Kitchen ARTICLE NATALIE NEECE

PHOTOGRAPHY AARON GOULDING PHOTOGRAPHY

AS THE DAYS GROW SHORTER AND THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN, IT’S NICE TO STAY IN FOR A WARM AND HEALTHY BREAKFAST. La Jolla Lifestyle partnered with Michelle WinterNolte, co-owner of Mimi’s Kitchen, to make a farmers market omelet. Along with using fresh ingredients, what makes her omelet taste so good is sharp cheese from Small Goods American Cheeses & Provisions found at the La Jolla Open Aire Farmers Market. Her tip for the eggs is to add a little water to the eggs and add garlic to the sauteed onions and spinach. As a side, she has bacon and berries with rosemary on top. Michelle is available for private parties, weddings, baked goods and more. InMimisKitchen.com

INGREDIENTS + 2 eggs, beaten + 1 cup spinach + Sharp cheese, chopped + 1 onion, chopped + 1 sprig rosemary

DIRECTIONS Saute the onion and spinach with garlic and cook until softened. Remove from pan and set aside. Chop the cheese. Crack the eggs, add a bit of water and beat them until combined. Pour into a hot pan. When the eggs are set on the bottom, add the spinach, onion and cheese on top. Flip the other half of the egg over the spinach, onion and cheese. Garnish with rosemary. Add fresh berries and bacon on the side.

SPOTLIGHT: VALLE DE GUADALUPE ARTICLE NATALIE NEECE

VALLE DE GUADALUPE INVITES YOU WITH SUNSHINE, A GLASS OF VINO AND A BIG HUG. Just an hour and a half south of the San Diego border is a world for foodies and wine enthusiasts alike. All you need to bring is your passport and an open mind to the unique wine varietals and up and coming restaurant scene.

A great time to come down is to the Valle’s biggest event, the 2nd Annual Valle Food & Wine Fest Oct. 5-7. This three-day fest will feature more than 35 world-class chefs, 25 Baja wineries, a beer garden and live music. The Valle Food & Wine Fest was founded in 2017 by chefs Javier Plascencia and Nancy Silverton along with writer Carolina Carreño and Fernando Gaxiola, president of the travel company Baja Food + Wine. Passes can be purchased ValleFoodAndWineFest.com Ambassador for Baja Food + Wine Olga Sánchez de la Vega of O Xperience recently took La Jolla Lifestyle down to Valle de Guadalupe. The O Xperience is an enhanced experience where she designs custom tours to the guests’ liking and gives you exclusive access to meet the chefs and local winemakers. We went to two must-visit locations in the Valle: Deckman’s en El Mogor and Encuentro Guadalupe. BajaWineFood.com

WHERE TO SAVOR & SIP: DECKMAN’S EN EL MOGOR What started as a summer passion project,

A GREAT TIME TO COME DOWN IS TO THE VALLE’S BIGGEST EVENT, THE 2ND ANNUAL VALLE FOOD &

Deckman’s en El Mogor has turned into a full-time exquisite culinary dining experience that is unforgettable. La Jolla Lifestyle spoke with owner and chef Drew Deckman about what his inspirations are and how he now calls the Valle home.

WHAT MAKES THIS LAND SO SPECIAL? The ranch has got something to it; there’s an energy here that isn't anywhere else in the valley. The same family has lived on the land for three generations. I think that the family has invested so much energy and good karma into the land always with the intention of preserving the ambiance. Being sustainable, things that weren’t talked about 30 years ago and they’ve been like that since the inception of the project by choosing plants that work with the land.

WINE FEST OCT. 5-7.

WHY DO YOU COOK ONLY WITH WOOD? It is now my signature, but not back in 2012. Back then the original philosophy of the restaurant was to create a restaurant that was vertically integrated with the ranch, so to use as many products from the ranch as possible to really celebrate the Mogors. The Mogors don't use petroleum products. There’s not natural gas produced, no oil, but a lot of firewood. We weren’t going to be using gas, so we used firewood. That's where the idea started. We went back to Cabo [my first restaurant] the first year, and everything tasted terrible. We couldn’t make it right because we were so accustomed to the wood and fire and the flavor it added.

YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING CULINARY BACKGROUND TRAVELING IN EUROPE. WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE AFTER THOSE CULINARY EXPERIENCES, AND WHY OPEN A RESTAURANT IN THE VALLE? For me, I lived in Europe for 10 years and worked in France, Germany and Switzerland. My favorite place I lived in Europe was the south of France: I liked the climate, the food, the ingredients (seafood coming from the Mediterranean) and the style of wines. I was really happy there. Coming to the Valle I see it being very similar, and I wanted to live here. I’ve made a bunch of changes in my life in terms of location things like that, and every time I leave one it was easier to figure out what I didn’t want to do opposed to what I wanted to do. And I got here and there wasn’t anything I didn't like about here. This is what I wanted, and I didn’t even know.

WHAT CAN GUESTS EXPECT FROM DINING AT DECKMAN'S? They can expect responsible ingredients, prepared simply well. We’re not trying to show anybody; we’re trying to share the ranch experience, share what CONTINUED >

Rancho Mogor] and what Valle de Guadalupe is. We celebrate the producers of the wines and fisherman. We don’t necessarily celebrate ourselves. For me, if we celebrate the ingredients we get the benefits of that.

HOW DOES THE STORY ABOUT THE VALLE COMPLEMENT YOUR STORY? There's a song—I don’t know who its by—but they talk about a climate fits your clothes as opposed to buying clothes for the climate that you’re in. Go to the climate that fits your clothes. Because I think there is a style of living for everyone out there. And people are unhappy because they aren’t in their natural given context. They may never know what this is, and when they do find it to have the feeler-out to say, “Wait, slow down, I think we got something here” Instead of going a million miles an hour.

I look at decisions—why did I leave that place? I was always thinking there was something better. How many small decisions in life and how they make an impact on where your road goes. Can’t see where it's going but you can see what's in front of you.

I don't want to grow, just get better at what we're doing. At my position at the Four Seasons, the manager said to me, “You can’t discount luxury.”

To make reservations visit Deckmans.com Make sure to catch Drew at the Valle Food & Wine Fest Oct. 5-7 and the Celebrate the Craft at the Lodge Torrey Pines on Oct. 28.

WHERE TO SIP & SIESTA: ENCUENTRO GUADALUPE Just a short drive from Deckman’s is the Valle’s gem: Encuentro Guadalupe.

“The concept is to come and enjoy the view and connect with nature on the Valle. We offer a place for downtime that has everything in one spot so you don’t have to leave,” says hospitality manager Alma Gonzalez.

Encuentro Guadalupe is a 5-star eco-resort glamping experience located in the heart of Valle Guadalupe.

THE DESIGN “The idea of the owner, Alfredo Acosta, and architect Jorge Garcia was they wanted to have a place for people to just come and enjoy the views of Valle de Guadalupe and be in contact with nature and relax.

Often people who visit Valle de Guadalupe come for one day and then go home. He wanted to offer a place where people can do wine tasting but don’t have to drive back. Alfredo imagined this place where people can be disconnected from the routine and city and just relax and enjoy a glass of wine. We have 18 single lofts, and guests have access to a small private restaurant for breakfast and snacks.”

THE RESTAURANT AND WINES Origen, led by chef Omar Valenzuela, offers seasonal menus using all local products including vegetables from their two small gardens. The winery spans 7 acres and offers a wide variety of wine varieties including viognier.

AMENITIES “We have one pool, jacuzzi, winery, restaurant, restaurant by the pool only for guests breakfast and snacks. There are 18 single lofts and four double lofts with two queen-size beds. The Echo Villa is for 10 people, and the Master Suite is for two people. The Master Suite has been used for albums being recorded, movies being filmed and authors writing books. The best times to come visit are June and October—beautiful view, the weather is warm but not too hot.”

PARTING THOUGHTS

Page Turners WARWICK’S FAVORITE NEW COOKBOOKS! ARTICLE NATALIE NEECE

Ottolenghi Simple: A Cookbook

BY YOTAM OTTOLENGHI

$35

In Ottolenghi Simple, powerhouse author and chef Yotam Ottolenghi presents 130 streamlined recipes packed with his signature Middle Eastern-inspired flavors. Each dish can be made in 30 minutes or less, with 10 or fewer ingredients, in a single pot, using pantry staples or prepared ahead of time for brilliantly, deliciously simple meals. Brunch gets a makeover with braised eggs with leeks and za’atar; a cauliflower, pomegranate, and pistachio salad refreshes the side-dish rotation; lamb and feta meatballs bring ease to the weeknight table; and every sweet tooth is sure to be satisfied by the spectacular fig and thyme clafoutis.

Cook Like a Pro: Recipes and Tips for Home Cook

BY INA GARTEN

$35

As America’s most trusted and beloved cookbook author, Ina Garten—the Barefoot Contessa—has taught millions of people how to cook. In Cook Like a Pro, Ina shares some of her most irresistible recipes and very best “pro tips,” from the secret to making her custardy, slow-cooked truffled scrambled eggs to the key to the crispiest and juiciest fried chicken sandwiches.

Cravings: Hungry for More

BY CHRISSY TEIGEN

$29.99

Cravings: Hungry for More takes us further into Chrissy’s kitchen—and life. It’s a life of pancakes that remind you of blueberry pie, eating onion dip with your glam squad, banana bread that breaks the Internet and a little something called Pad Thai Carbonara. After two years of parenthood, falling in love with different flavors and relearning the healing power of comfort food, this book is like Chrissy’s new edible diary: recipes for quick-as-a-snap meals; recipes for lighter, brighter, healthier-ish living; and recipes that, well, are gonna put you to bed, holding your belly.
