Product Description
From its humble beginnings in 1934, L.A.'s Original Farmers Market has become one of the leading destinations in Southern California. And this comprehensive cookbook celebrates the food, people, and history of this Los Angeles landmark. Mexican, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, and old-fashioned American diner fare are all here, among many others. Readers can re-create more than 75 stand-in-line classics like Chilaquiles Verdes from Loter a! Grill, Falafel Sandwiches from Moishe's, and finish up with decadent Chocolate Fudge from Littlejohn's English Toffee House. Vivid photographs and rare archival images bring the market to life as it celebrates its 75th anniversary.

A Walk Down Memory Lane February 5, 2010
K. Warne (California)
While I may not make all of these recipes (have to watch the waistline) it was a wonderful book with a lot of information about Farmer's Market that I wasn't aware of. I have been going there since the age 11. It's such a joy to visit and find that not much has changed through the years. A very good read

Memories...of how the market started and how it has evolved...stories of the people their special recipes...beautiful photos of "then" and "now". Congratulations JoAnn, on a beautiful contribution to the people of LA's Farmers Market.

What a great cookbook. It takes me back to the late '40's and early '50's when my parents would take me there. It's still one of my favorite places to visit when I'm out there and I've shared it with my daughter who also loves it. My daughter has shared it with her young sons and so it's a family tradition.

Perusing the pages of //L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook// will provide a trip down memory lane for some people and a lesson in history for others. The book's recent release coincides with the Farmers Market's 75th Anniversary and speaks to the vast history and diversity that defines this legendary Los Angeles landmark. //L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook// includes stories and recipes from the restaurants, grocers, and individual stalls housed in the Market (many of which have been there since its inception in the 1930s) and offers the reader an authentic sampling of this unique and renowned attraction.
The wonderful black and white photographs and entertaining anecdotes truly capture the essence of the era when the Market first opened. At the same time, the modern color photos and multitude of ethnic recipes are representative of the more diverse Los Angeles of today.
The book is conveniently divided into four chapters: "Breakfast," "Sandwiches and Light Bites," "Main Meals," and "Sweet Things," with each chapter highlighting different vendors and providing easy to follow recipes. The multitude of food stalls, restaurants, and grocers featured in this book guarantees that there is no shortage of variety, with recipes ranging from mango smoothies to potato piroshki, chicken pot pie to Korean short ribs, and even brownies and cookies for dogs. This book surely offers something for everyone--even the family pet!

A delicious adventure into the history of one of Los Angeles' most cherished places and packed with recipes we can't wait to try, We've been going to the Farmer's Market for over ten years, and each time we find something new to try. Our favorite counter is Loteria Grill, and we feel like lottery winners every time we eat there.
