I want Charlie Trotter to sign this book.

Take a journey to One&Only Palmilla, one of the most beautiful resorts in the world. Located in Los Cabos, Mexico, the resort has set a new standard for first-class experience for the most discriminating travelers. This book will guide you through this magnificent property, its award-winning spa, and the memorable new spa cuisine created by Chef Charlie Trotter.

Chef Trotter's distinctive spa cuisine is made up of dishes that are healthy, yet exploding with flavors and textures in unique combinations. Introduced as part of One&Only Palmilla's overall spa program, the food has taken off and is now offered throughout the resort as a lighter alternative to the regular fare.

The development of spa cuisine was a natural extension for Chef Trotter, whose culinary philosophy is all about "flavor and purity." Guests at the resort can experience this cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The dishes are light, clean and focused on the inherent natural flavors of the key ingredients, rather than masking them with fats or sauces. Chef Trotter worked closely with well-known nutritionist Mary Abbott Hess to ensure that each dish meets a variety of dietary and/or nutritional goals.

Breakfast options include wonderful beverages, like Coconut, Lemongrass, and Pineapple Smoothie, as well as more substantial fare, such as Soft Poached Egg with Cured Salmon, Baby Spinach, and an Olive Oil and Lemon Zest Vinaigrette. Lunch and dinner choices are equally intriguing, including Steamed Cabrilla with Spaghetti Squash and Chinese Long Beans, and Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Tomato-and-Leek Strewn Quinoa and Roasted Garlic Sauce. And desert is not forgotten, with the delectable Passion Fruit Pudding Cake – an instant favorite!

The best way to experience this extraordinary spa cuisine is to come and stay at One&Only Palmilla Resort. Until then, we hope you find inspiration in these pages.
