Sunset All-Western Cook Book

Note: This edition of Sunset All-Western Cook Book has been updated to include Metric equivalents.


From the pages of Sunset Magazine comes this book of recipes for favorite regional, and foreign dishes peculiar to the West, written by Genevieve A. Callahan, one of the editors of the legendary magazine. She writes:—


"To help you who live in the West to enjoy more fully the glorious products of these Western states; to introduce you, perhaps, to some of the less well-known foods of particular localities; in short, to help you to live more abundantly here in the West—that is the purpose of this Sunset All-Western Cook Book.


"This Sunset All-Western Cook Book makes no pretense of being a complete cook book that will answer all your questions about ordinary cooking and baking. There are too many good general cook books on sale now for us to attempt to gather into one volume all the wisdom of that sort. Instead, we have, so far as possible, omitted the ordinary recipes and information that are found in every other cook book, and have endeavored to make this an extremely useful handbook on the preparation and serving of typically Western food products. And in spite of the fact that it does not lay claim to being a general cook book, we suspect that it will be used more frequently in every Western home kitchen into which it finds its way than the regulation cook book ordinarily is used.


"This Sunset All-Western Cook Book has grown out of five years’ direct contact with homemakers of the Pacific Coast states. You who have contributed to the "Kitchen Cabinet" recipe exchange of Sunset Magazine, you who have asked questions, or offered advice and friendly comment, have furnished the inspiration for this book, and much of the information contained in it."
