The Secrets of Salsa was written by the women of the Anderson Valley Adult School. Many of these admirable ladies work hard in our community during the day, take care of their families at home and still have the energy and drive to attend school at night. Their recipes will make you rethink salsa, especially if you have only tried the canned stuff in the supermarket. In recognition of the contribution of these woman to Anderson Valley´s agricultural community, we have donated ten thousand dollars to the Anderson Valley Educational Fund earmarked for the Adult School this holiday season. The cost of this homegrown recipe book is $15.00, with profits going to the Adult School for further great projects.
