Back of Book: Here is the first California cuisine, with classic recipes reflecting the timeless cookery of the missions and ranchos of early California.

The cuisine emphasizes fresh, healthy ingredients and a lot of chile peppers.

Sampling of recipes: Potato Flavored Tortillas; Chile Bisque; California Meat Patties; Salmon Monterey; Carrots in Salsa Mole; Rice & Jerky; Sweet Potato and Pineapple Dessert; and many, many more.
