On the heels of the highly successful The San Francisco Chronicle Cookbook comes Volume II, celebrating the continuing excellence of Bay Area cuisine. San Francisco Chronicle food editors Michael Bauer and Fran Irwin have compiled 375 completely new recipes from such respected food writers as Marion Cunningham, Mai Pham, and Georgeanne Brennan. Busy cooks can save time using hundreds of creative tips designed to get the most flavor with the least effort. Reflecting the cultural diversity and fresh local ingredients that define Northern California, it's no wonder that even New York City looks to the West Coast and the San Francisco Chronicle food section to discover exciting, new culinary trends.
There is a wide variety of recipes in here, from traditional to ethnic, vegetarian to carnivore. There are, of course, complex recipes because it is the Chronicle, but there are also many recipes that sound fancier than they are. My "meat & potatoes" Texan husband & I both loved the pork chops with lavender and rosemary. The lemon curd is to die for, too. Neither of those recipes required more than a basic knowledge of cooking - just fresh ingredients & an ability to follow instructions. There are a few recipes that call for ingredients that are more difficult to find outside of a foodie area like the Bay Area or in places like Dallas where Asian groceries are limited. But for the most part, recipes call for basic fresh ingredients available anywhere.
If you're looking for a pretty coffee table book--look elsewhere--there are no pictures. But if you want a cookbook with a diverse selection of great tasting recipes (I haven't had one fail on me yet), this is it.
