In what I felt to be a truly amazing compilation of foods, restaurants, wine, and recipes, Ms. Hamilton shows us the best of what Southern California has to offer. Filled with photos, maps, driving and walking directions, and a handy monthly calendar of local celebrations, this resource will be invaluable for your next culinary adventure. With additional golden tidbits of information and recipes from the esteemed Executive Chef Bruce Biron, coupled with advice on exercise and diet from certified exercise physiologist Janel Willette, you will be able to start yourself on a new healthy track.
Focusing on locally grown products, of both inland and coastal counties, plus the annual list of food, wine and walk events, from Pismo Beach’s October Clam Festival, to walking a lost trail in East San Diego County, this must-have guide will help you explore the best in Californian dining and lifestyle.
This resource book was a treat to experience. Not only was I thrilled that the contents were exceptional and beyond what I had ever expected, I had a chance to try out a few of the recipes which amazingly worked and were delicious! I have to applaud Ms. Hamilton and her contributors for compiling such a useful guide; I can only hope that their next mission will be a guide book focusing on Northern California!
