Excerpt from Sunset All-Western Cook Book How to Select, Prepare, Cook, and Serve, All Typically Western Food Products: Recipes Included for Favorite Regional, and Foreign Dishes Peculiar to the West Cook books and cook books there are in great abundance - collections of old Southern recipes, New England recipes, Chinese recipes, recipes for entrees, for meat dishes and meatless dishes, and so on in uncounted number. Strange to say, in all this profusion of excellent cook books, general or specific in purpose, the West and its products have been largely ignored. This is strange when one remembers that Western hospitality and Western cookery have been noted throughout the land since the early days of gold. It is particularly strange when one considers that our Western states produce such a profusion of unusual, and unusually good, fruits and nuts and vegetables and fish. Many of these are, of course, shipped to other sections of the country. A good many others, however, cannot well be shipped, and so are enjoyed in all their deliciousness right here at the source of supply. Of those products that arc shipped East, we of the West have greater abundance at lower prices, and we have them at their best, fresh from ranch garden or orchard or from the Pacific itself. This Sunset All-Western Cook Book makes no pretense of being a complete cook book that will answer all your questions about ordinary cooking and baking. There are too many good general cook books on sale now for us to attempt to gather into one volume all the wisdom of that sort. Instead, we have, so far as possible, omitted the ordinary recipes and information that are found in every other cook book, and have endeavored to make this an extremely useful handbook 011 the preparation and serving of typically Western food products. And in spite of the fact that it does not lay claim to being a general cook book, we suspect that it will be used more frequently in every Western home kitchen into which it finds its way than the regulation cook book ordinarily is used. This Sunset All-Western Cook Book has grown out of five years' direct contact with homemakers of the Pacific Coast states.
