But one thing remains constant: good taste -- delicious taste -- with style, elegance, and, perhaps most important, ease, simplicity, health and a preparation time that respects our on the go lifestyle.Yet this is so much more than simply a California cookbook.

We take a quick tour of our favorite cities and sights to visit, and we include a listing of all the featured restaurants so you'll know where to visit our chefs and taste their creations. A map helps you to get there.… (more)
