For the last issue of the
San Francisco Bay Times I interviewed San Francisco-based chef Joanne Weir, who authors cookbooks, conducts culinary/travel tours, creates tantalizing new recipes, writes for numerous publications, oversees the hot Mexican restaurant Copita in Sausalito, and hosts one of the most popular cooking shows on PBS. Previously she was a chef at Berkeley’s famed Chez Panisse and more.
Weir generously shared several of her recipes. Two ran with the prior article. Here are six more!
Grilled Bread with Tomato Tapenade & Prosciutto di Parma
6 slices rustic country-style bread, ½ to 3/4-inch thick

She’s the Energizer Bunny of the culinary world. San Francisco’s chef Joanne Weir seems to do it all: she authors cookbooks; conducts culinary/travel tours in Morocco, Spain, and Italy (and more); creates tantalizing new recipes; submits recipes for such esteemed publications as
The New York Times; oversees the hot Mexican restaurant Copita in Sausalito; and hosts one of the most popular cooking shows on PBS. The Gay Gourmet caught up with her during the pandemic to find out about her new TV series, how she’s adapting tours during the COVID-19 pandemic, and all things San Francisco.
