I have an interest in California history as well as history in general. As usual, I find myself drawn to the history that involves food: what was eaten and how it was fixed. This lead me to a desire to learn more about California food history, and thus an idea for a new blog: The California Food Project.
Let me be clear: I am not an historian nor am I a trained chef or cook. However I love to learn, and not having a history degree or specialized training will not stop me from exploring this topic. I don't offer my blog as expert or academic work. I do it for my fun and amusement, while still trying to be accurate. I may make mistakes, but they will be honest ones.
I expect that my wanderings will not be linear through the timeline of history. In fact, I've already started exploring the Rancho period, despite there being other periods before that. No matter. I'll try to keep some sort of organization scheme going along with the posts.
You will see cross-posting between this blog and that one. I'm already crazy enough to have two food blogs but I'm not so crazy that I won't allow duplication. : ) The recipes you've seen here from Miss Pinedo's book will be part of my new blog, but more details will accompany them there.
So I invite you to follow the California Food Project. As with this one, I won't have advertisements or affiliate links. I do this for fun, not profit. If you have resources that can help, jump in and tell me!
