Category:California Cuisine

Californian cuisine is a harsh reply to the aim of the rest of the nation to copy the European cuisine. It distinguishes through the use of fresh and in season ingredients. The people have artichokes, fava beans and haricots crops on one side, while they have bok choy, Chinese broccoli, lemon grass, Thai basil and Vietnamese mint on the other side. During the summer they grow heirloom tomatoes and tomatillos, avocados and Asian pears, as well as a multitude of pepper varieties. These ingredients assure the freshness and the flavour of the food.
