L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook

Centered on the culinary offerings of the historic Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax in Los Angeles, this cookbook by JoAnn Cianciulli draws on the market's diverse vendors and seasonal California produce to present accessible recipes for the home cook. The volume blends narrative and recipe content, reflecting the market's character as a longstanding community gathering place that has shaped Los Angeles food culture since the 1930s. Its regional focus on Southern California ingredients and cooking gives it particular interest as a document of a specific and beloved local food tradition.
