California Home Cooking American Cooking in the California Style

"The book reminds me of the 'Silver Palate' cookbooks, with their readable typeface, mixture of easy and challenging recipes, and sprinkling of interesting, if sometimes trivial, information (tips on shopping at a farmers' market, a story about Christmas tamales, how to make bread crumbs). Being from the East Coast, though, I feel a little defensive when Ms. Jordan offers recipes involving cranberries, which do not grow in California. Hey! Stay in your own territory!"Sweet, Melissa is the author of 'California Home Cooking American Cooking in the California Style' with ISBN 9781558321199 and ISBN 1558321195.
