Welcome back to Tofino! In this long-awaited follow-up to the
award-winning bestseller, The SoBo Cookbook, you'll find a whole new
set of recipes, dialed up in delicious, unmistakable SoBo style.
To know Tofino is to know SoBo, the restaurant at the heart of this
magnetic West Coast surf town. Since opening as a purple food truck 20
years ago, SoBo (short for "sophisticated bohemian") has been bringing
people together with Chef Lisa Ahier's fresh West Coast fare. Year after
year, locals and visitors alike return for her killer cooking and the
relaxed warmth that can only be found here. Bring home this new slice of
SoBo to share with your loved ones.
In Together at SoBo, Chef Lisa Ahier shares all-new recipes from her
beloved restaurant. Lisa's recipes are love letters to Tofino and its
position as the most westerly point of Canada. Drawing from local
produce and a wealth of seafood, these are Pacific Northwest recipes
enhanced by Lisa's Southern flair.

Local and seasonal: recipes like the Chanterelle and Corn Chowder

bounty

also introduces the people around her who have shaped the restaurant
into the quintessential destination it is today.
Two decades on from its purple food truck beginnings, SoBo has never
lost its namesake "sophisticated bohemian" essence: down-to-earth
goodness forged through a connection to the people and place--land and
sea--surrounding it.
