West Coast Cooking

I received this cookbook as a Christmas gift last year from my sister who lives in Seattle. As I live in the midwest, I thought there wouldn't be a lot of recipes I could use daily. I was WRONG! This cookbook has some of the most outstanding recipes in more categories than almost any in my collection. The cake recipes, which are pre-world war two (translation, magical, yummy, fool proof concotions), inspired me to not ony conquer my fear of the layer cake, but to trimumph and pull out my great grandmother's cake stand! I love this cookbook! Atkinson has a wonderful writing style he uses to begin each chapter that makes this cookbook more than just a collection of recipes.

My daughter-in-law had this book in her collection during a recent visit to her home. She informed me that it had been a gift to her and she really liked it. I thumbed through it briefly, and had to have a copy. I'm always on the look out for new a different things to try that aren't so full of hard-to-find ingredients and more work that it's worth - this book fits the bill. My cook book arrived very promptly and in perfect condition. I'd definitely recommend picking this book up; for yourself or as a gift.

This is my favorite cookbook of all time. I checked it out from the library a couple of years ago and liked it so much I had to order my own copy. There are a number of recipes that have become family favorites and I can honestly say that everything I've made from this book has been outstanding. The recipes themselves are very easy to follow and have easy to find ingredients, but the finished product comes out tasting like restaurant quality stuff. I tell people about this book all the time! Get it, you'll love it.

Excellent. Pure food , locally sourced and creative..

This was written by a neighbor on Bainbridge Island, a wonderful chef named Greg Atkinson. The recipes are so good and easy to follow.

This has lots of easy to make good recipes. The two mayonnaise recipes worked perfectly and I will never buy mayonnaise again.

Arrived in condition described, in predicted time. Love the variety of recipes and the stories that go along with them. Very happy with this purchase!
