Every time I went into Williams-Sonoma I picked up this book. I continued to put it down and leave the store. Finally, down to its last copy, I had to make the purchase. Indeed, it is worth every penny and I now wondered what ever made me wait.

The recipes in this book are fantastic. Every bit Californian, the recipes feature bold, bright and vivid pictures of the succulent food. One can almost smell the food as it glistens before the reader.

Additionally, the recipes are not overly (or needlessly as the case may be.....enter The French Napkin) complex. Nor do the recipes attempt estoeric creations featuring items one would expect from the cabinets of Dr. Moreau.

In short, fairly to medium-esquely-ish simple meals, great taste, wonderful dialogue, and something worth having/adding to your collection.

It shouldn't disappoint.
