West Coast Cooking Review
I received this cookbook as a Christmas gift last year from my sister who lives in Seattle. As I live in the midwest, I thought there wouldn't be a lot of recipes I could use daily. I was WRONG! This cookbook has some of the most outstanding recipes in more categories than almost any in my collection. The cake recipes, which are pre-world war two (translation, magical, yummy, fool proof concotions), inspired me to not ony conquer my fear of the layer cake, but to trimumph and pull out my great grandmother's cake stand! I love this cookbook! Atkinson has a wonderful writing style he uses to begin each chapter that makes this cookbook more than just a collection of recipes.
West Coast Cooking Overview
Alaska has amazing seafood — wild salmon, halibut, and black cod — and the unique native technique of grilling with flavorful wood planks. Vancouver transforms irresistible East Indian dishes with local ingredients. The San Francisco Bay Area emphasizes seasonal and sustainable, while Southern California celebrates the Latino influence, one of America's true indigenous cuisines. In this comprehensive cookbook, chef/author Greg Atkinson highlights the culinary styles, ingredients, and trends of all these areas in 400 dishes that are easy to prepare, authentic to the region, and tantalizing to the taste.
