Although every single person should bake their own bread and gut their own fish at least once in their lifetime, most of this book’s recipes are quick and do not rely heavily on meat for their flavor.



Part heritage cooking, part light California cuisine, this book blends Eastern European, Asian and Mexican influences and it's not about chasing dinner or laboring over it. It is about shooting from the hip when arriving home starving and craving something delicious, simple, and if at all possible, not guilt-inducing.
