Praise for this book

"George Geary has chronicled California's place in the legacy of American eating."-The New York Times
"George Geary's Made in California takes you on a delightful journey down memory lane. It's a must-read guide for anyone who loves history, food, and California's culture of innovation. Fortunately, you can still visit many of these iconic locations, so plan your road trip now!" --Linda Dishman, president and CEO, Los Angeles Conservancy

"This delicious book serves up more than a feast of information--it's food for the soul of anyone who is hungry for the back stories and glories of California's classic cuisine, iconic kitchens, famous flavors, and tastiest landmarks." --Charles Phoenix, author of Addicted to Americana and Holiday Jubilee

"I gained fifteen pounds reading this book, but it was worth it because ten of those went to my brain! A smart, encyclopedic, delightful read worthy of a coffee table, a classroom syllabus, or a car seat as a road-trip companion!" --Gustavo Arellano, author of Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America
