5.0 out of 5 stars A way to anyones heart, July 19, 2000

This review is from: The California Heritage Cookbook (Paperback)

I received the California Heritage cookbook in 1979 as a wedding gift. Inside the book was the following note from our freinds "if it is true the way to a man's heart is through his stomach then this cookbook will assure a lasting marriage." My husband and I have been married for 21 years and our still very happy. The recipes in this cookbook are relatively easy to make, but give the appearance that hours were spent making the meal. Everyone who has ever experienced a meal I've made from this cookbook always ask for the recipes. Over the years I have given this cookbook as a wedding gift also.

5.0 out of 5 stars california heritage, December 6, 1999

This review is from: The California Heritage Cookbook (Paperback)

I use this book whenever I entertain or am asked to bring an item to a gathering. Nothing is overly complicated; and every recipe I've tried is exceptional. Some favorites: Chicken Breasts in Ginger Cream; Spinach-wrapped chicken with oriental dip; Guacamole (best recipe I've found), Pork tenderloin in mustard sauce. don't buy this if you've got a weak heart - bring on the heavy cream!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!!!, August 5, 1999

This review is from: The California Heritage Cookbook (Paperback)

I was first given this cookbook as a gift 15 years ago and it has delighted many a guest whenever I have prepared one of its recipes. It is not a book for those who have only basic culinary skills or those looking for a tabloid 15 minute recipe or "light" recipe, but it is for those who enjoy creating culinary delights which your guests while enjoy and rave about.
