LA's Original Farmers Market Cookbook

What a great cookbook. It takes me back to the late '40's and early '50's when my parents would take me there. It's still one of my favorite places to visit when I'm out there and I've shared it with my daughter who also loves it. My daughter has shared it with her young sons and so it's a family tradition.

A Delicious Adventure

A delicious adventure into the history of one of Los Angeles' most cherished places and packed with recipes we can't wait to try, We've been going to the Farmer's Market for over ten years, and each time we find something new to try. Our favorite counter is Loteria Grill, and we feel like lottery winners every time we eat there.

a must buy!

This book is awesome! It's very comprehensive from the history of the LA Farmers market to the recipes. And the stories in here are really terrific. This place is such an institution and the vendors have such passion-- it's finally nice to have a real understanding of this landmark, it's people and food. It's truly a great read with great photos and a must get!

Loved this book!

A friend gave me this book because they know I liked going to the Farmers Market when I lived in LA, and I absolutely loved this book! It is more than terrific recipes - it tells about traditions and an iconic part of Los Angeles. The writing and the pictures are wonderful! If you love great food and great stories, this book is for you...it actually makes me miss LA (and as a jaded New Yorker who couldn't wait to move back home, that's saying a lot).

Tasty book!!

L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook: Meet Me at 3rd and Fairfax An adventure in a book - I love the behind the scene stories and photos of the Farmers Market vendors and of course the recipes from my favorite stalls!! You can tell JoAnn the author has a personal relationship with each of the stall owners and an all-encompassing understanding of food history and preparation. I cannot wait to make the Cabernet Sauvignon Sorbet. Happy reading / cooking.
