Appellation

San Francisco Chronicle food editor Michael Bauer and Chronicle copy editor Fran Irwin combed through ten years of the newspaper's weekly food section and compiled 350 of its finest recipes for The San Francisco Chronicle Cookbook. The recipes represent the diversity and innovation of Northern California cooking by such Bay Area culinary heavyweights as Paul Bertolli of Oliveto and Nancy Oakes of Boulevard.



Choosing the best recipes ever published in the San Francisco Chronicle's weekly food section must be like selecting jewelry at Tiffany's: It's difficult to make many mistakes. For this cookbook, the editors draw on some of San Francisco's reigning restaurant chefs and numerous proficient, local food writers.

Experts on the cuisines of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas contribued recipes that attest to a multicultural San Francisco, where walking a few city blocks can mean traveling thousands of culinary miles. I tested more than a quarter of the 350 dishes printed and found almost all of those worth making again and again. Many are quick and simple, but most require at least an hour in the kitchen and some cooking know-how.

I only wish this cookbook had photographs, because choosing the best recipes without visual clues is like shoping at Tiffany's in the dark.



These 325 recipes reflect the finest cooking in Northern California, collected by the San Francisco Chronicle's food section, the most innovative in America. Praise from Marion Cunningham

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Cookbook!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I was born in San Francisco and now reside in the South Carolina. I miss the fabulous food and restaurants in San Francisco, and I recall many dishes which are mentioned in this book with great fondness, from years past. This cookbook allows me to recreate those memories in my own kitchen, with no "Southern twist" required. Thank you Michael Bauer!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I just recently, April 2010, got this wonderful book. After years of copying recipes from the Chronicle, and actually trying most of them, I bought this used book. It is like visiting with old friends. Each recipe author is the best in their field, including Bruce Cost, Janet Fletcher, Martin Yan, and everyone. Recipes are do-able and dee-lish.

    Some great vintage recipes from classic older San Francisco restauranteurs and great Chronicle food writers. Great memories. Heavy on baking specialties, that’s okay with me. Lots to offer, especially from the eighties, at least I think I was there then.

    This cookbook and volume II, are both excellent cookbooks. My girlfriend and I bust them out anytime we're having company, or if we just want something nice for ourselves. I recommend it highly.

    4.0 out of 5 stars excellent volume of this series
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2011

    This was recommended to me by a friend and is, indeed, an excellent volume of a series of cookbooks by The Chronicle. The recipes reflect the eclectic nature of the Bay Area -- from Tandoori Chicken with Pomegranate Juice to Arugula with Figs, Roquefort, and Toasted Walnut salad, the bay area food critics and chefs contribute to the success of this tome.
