The Sardine Factory — An Insider's Look at the Famed Restaurant and Its Cuisine
by Bill Keenan (2000) |
Part history book, part practical cookbook with 150 recipes, Jacqueline Higuera McMahan's story is authentically Californio: she is a descendant of one of California's original rancho families. |
Encarnación's Kitchen was the first cookbook written by a Hispanic in the United States, and the first recording of Californio cooking. Her 300+ recipes draw on Spanish, Basque and Mexican traditions; Strehl provides history and cultural background as well as the translation. |
One of Monterey's best-known restauranteurs reveals his secrets in this lively cookbook, full of anecdotal asides and tales from his travels to the sources of his dishes. |
Two former bus boys (Ted Balestreri and Bert Cutino), armed with determination, creativity and culinary skill, created this knock-out luxury restaurant in a rundown section of Cannery Row back in 1968. Few recipes, but lots of insider stories. |

WineStyle Monterey County
by Chatfield, Hunting and Napolitano (2003) |
Two hundred color photos of restaurants and local color highlight this guide-cum-cookbook, a real celebration of Northern California seafood and cuisine. |
Written before most of Monterey County's wineries had opened their tasting rooms and achieved greater fame, this match-up of Central Coast food and wine includes several Monterey wineries. |
One of a clever series of themed cookbooks cut in the shape of the starring vegetable; 21 recipes make excellent use of Monterey County's spiky speciality. |
Handsome photographs and lucid yet lively text make this coffee-table book a fine souvenir of Monterey County's wine country. |
