Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Two collections of California's best. The latest addition to Collins's popular series ( America the Beautiful Cookbook, LJ 11/15/90; France the Beautiful Cookbook, LJ 10/15/89; et al.) is a locally specialized but stunning entry. The photographs of the California scenery/scene are varied and vivid, while the food photography is quite spectacular, and the recipes are far better and more interesting than those in several of the previous books. Recommended for most California libraries, and for any others that can afford this luxury. Like Robert Schneider's The Open Hand Cookbook ( LJ 11/15/89), the San Francisco Symphony's benefit cookbook offers a tantalizing collection of menus from some of California's most talented chefs. The roster of Bay Area contributors includes Jeremiah Tower, Alice Waters, Barbara Tropp, Ken Hom, and many other stars; many of the recipes are unmistakably "California," but they do in fact represent a wide range of styles, and they've been well edited for the home cook. Recommended.

This review is from: California, the beautiful cookbook: Authentic recipes from California (The Beautiful cookbook series) (Hardcover)
I have had this book on my shelf since it first came out. I originally bought it for the beautiful pictures of the food and all the different regions of California, and I was moving away. The book is so beautiful, in fact, that I hesitated using it and risking spills. Then something caught my eye - maybe the Pistachio Cheese Wafers, the Pork and Prune Skewers, Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake - I started reading, then cooking, the recipes and every single one is delicious. They are the kinds of recipes that I go back to over and over again. Mr. Carroll is in the tradition and style of cooking that has been passed down from James Beard to Marion Cunningham and now to him. This is a book you will never regret buying.

This review is from: California, The Beautiful Cookbook: Authentic Recipes from California (Hardcover)
The book was supposed to be "like new". I was disappointed in the condition of the book. The cover jacket was dirty.
