The Cookbook Club: West Coast Cook Book

With its push for using local, fresh ingredients, Helen Evan Brown's "West Coast Cook Book" laid the foundation to what became known as California cuisine. Brown gave historical context and social significance to her recipes, transforming cookbook writing into a scholarly endeavor. Her 500-volume collection of California cookbooks were acquired by the Huntington Library in 1983.
