5.0 out of 5 stars Love this cookbook!!! November 10, 2005
By Jen M.
I have several cookbooks, but this is by far my favorite. I have never used a cookbook as often as I do this book, and I have consistently had great results. So far my husband and I have tried about 20 things out of this book, and they have all been delicious--cocktails, appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts.

The best part about this book is the simplicity. Most of the recipes in this book don't have a ton of ingredients, and the ingredients it calls for are usually things I have on hand, or I just need to get a few easy (and inexpensive)items. That is my main problem with other cookbooks that I own: they are beautiful to look at and the food is indeed delicious, but many of the ingredients are things I would never have on hand and I end up spending a lot of money just to get everything I need.

This cookbook has consistently produced delicious results with very little effort. The ingredients are remarkably simple in some of the dishes and it just makes cooking out of this book a really fun experience. I love the Southern California theme too. I am from San Diego and these recipes really do capture the casual yet elegant style of America's Finest City.

I have set a goal for myself that I am going to try every recipe in this book. It may take a little time, but I am looking forward to trying everything--and as I said before, I've never wanted to do that with any other cookbook. My other cookbooks look really pretty on my shelf but don't get nearly as much use as this one, because this one is not intimidating and doesn't require a huge shopping list to prepare the food.

I highly recommend this book. I'm getting one for my mom for Christmas too.

5.0 out of 5 stars An AMAZING Junior League Cookbook April 21, 2009
This is a total MUST HAVE for your cookbooks at home. Very simple, yet sophisticated recipes that are sure to please. Recipes are organized based on the time of day--breakfast, brunch, lunch dinner, cocktails, midnight snack--along with complete menus. I really really love this book. But the best part is that its purchase supports the Junior League of San Diego's mission and 100% goes back to supporting its efforts in San Diego. You won't be let down with this one! [...]
