Chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson and sommelier Bobby Stuckey, the founding team from Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado, have more to celebrate on top of another James Beard award–the release of their new cookbook: "Friuli Food and Wine: Frasca Cooking from Northern Italy's Mountains, Vineyards and Seaside."

Written with acclaimed food writer Meredith Erickson and photographer William Hereford, the book pulls recipes from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern region of Italy that borders Austria, Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea and their restaurant in the Colorado Rockies.
