California Recipes & Cookbooks

While we may not all be able to enjoy California's sunshine and scenery, you can take your tastebuds on a tour of delicious and healthy Californian food. Californian cuisine tends to be influenced by other US cuisine, but also by Asian cuisine and Mexican cuisine (it should be remembered that prior to 1848, California was part of Mexico, and today California is home to a large population of Mexican descent).

Californian cuisine is of course also influenced by the availability of local produced ingredients. California is of course known for its agricultural produce, which many typical US crops, but also includes avocado, artichokes, dates, figs, persimmons and sprouts. Additionally, northern California produces a range of seafood including Dungeness crab, oysters, salmon, and striped bass.
