It`s a myth that cooking is complicated or takes a lot of time to be good. Here is a cookbook that will teach you how to use fresh and readily available West Coast ingredients to make deliciously simple Mediterranean- and Asian-influenced dishes. There are lots of ideas for quick everyday meals, plus easy yet impressive special-occasion recipes such as Port Marinated Strawberries Wrapped in Prosciutto, and Almond Cranberry Biscotti. Great appetizers such as Zucchini Rounds Topped with Cambozola Cheese, and Japanese-Style Chicken Skewers with Ginger Sauce won`t keep you in the kitchen for long.
