ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LISA PRINCE NEWMAN

Inspired by her memories of growing up in the Santa Clara Valley during the 1960s when fruit orchards spread out in every direction, San Francisco Bay Area author Lisa Prince Newman focuses her passion for fresh ingredients and pleasurable cooking on apricots in her debut cookbook “For the Love of Apricots: Recipes and Memories of the Santa Clara Valley”, a cookbook/memoir that also examines the rich agricultural history of the region and focuses on the orchardists who still cultivate the world’s best fruit. Lisa experienced the rapid suburban development of the region during the 60s and 70s and the loss of the Valley of Heart’s Delight once vast orchards, which led her to a career in Bay Area city planning.
