For generations, the editors of Sunset magazine have been reporting on the newest, hottest trends in home cooking—from the first known published pesto recipe in 1946 to the current backyard homesteading movement—and sharing their knowledge with millions of home cooks in a way that is inspiring, easy, fresh, and delicious. Now with The Sunset Cookbook, home cooks across the country can explore and enjoy over 1,000 innovative recipes that have helped transform the way Americans cook and eat while learning about the latest culinary trends on the horizon.
The first masterwork collection of more than 1,000 recipes selected, retested, and updated from Sunset magazine, The Sunset Cookbook represents the best of casual American cooking—inspired by local ingredients, created by smart cooks, and infused with the flavors of diverse cultural influences.
“Over its 110-year history, Sunset has pioneered new dishes and ingredients that have gone on to become American classics--from Cobb Salad and Baja Fish Tacos to avocados,” said Margo True, Sunset magazine food editor and author of The Sunset Cookbook. “The secret to these classics—and all the recipes in The Sunset Cookbook—is Sunset’s focus on blending ‘farmers-market-fresh,’ local ingredients with the unique cultural influences of the West. The recipes are surprisingly simple and the results are reliably healthy and delicious.”
Sunset’s fresh, creative and simple slant on healthy eating and sustainable approach to food sources has inspired some of today’s most respected chefs and lifestyle gurus, including Mario Batali, Cindy Pawlcyn, Traci Des Jardins, Daniel Patterson, Tyler Florence, Guy Fieri, and Chuck Williams, founder of Williams-Sonoma. Now home cooks can experience for themselves how even the simplest techniques can produce fabulous results--from appetizers, preserves, pickles and wine pairing to an entire section devoted to outdoor cookery and a treasure trove of recipes for handheld food.
