California cuisine is a food movement that originated inNorthern California. The cuisine focuses on dishes that are driven by local and sustainable ingredients with an attention to seasonality and an emphasis on the bounty of the region.[1][2]

The food is historicallychef-driven;Alice Waters's restaurant Chez Panisse is an iconic example. Dishes and meals low insaturated fats and high in freshvegetables andfruits withlean meats andseafood from theCalifornia coast often define the style.

The term "California cuisine" arose as a result of culinary movements in the last decades of the 20th century and is not to be confused with thetraditional foods of California. Californiafusion cuisine has been influenced byFrench cuisine,American cuisine,Italian cuisine,Mexican cuisine,Chinese cuisine, among other food cultures.

History

[edit]

One of the first proponents of using fresh, locally available foods wasHelen Evans Brown, who became friends withJames Beard after publishingHelen Brown's West Coast Cookbook in 1952. She advocated using fruits and spices available in one's neighborhood, forgoing poor grocery store substitutes, as well as fresh seafood, caught locally.

The book received wide acclaim and became the "template" for what is now thought of as California cuisine.[3]Alice Waters, who openedChez Panisse restaurant in 1971 inBerkeley, California, has contributed significantly to the concept of California Cuisine.[4][5]

About the same time, in Yountville in the Napa Valley,Sally Schmitt[6] began serving single-menu monthly dinners that emphasized local ingredients, continuing the concept when she and her husband Don openedThe French Laundry in 1978.[7]

In Los Angeles,Wolfgang Puck was also an early pioneer of California cuisine; starting with his work at Patrick Terrail's[8]Ma Maison, and further work withEd LaDou onCalifornia-style pizza atSpago andAsian fusion at Chinois on Main.[9]

Mark Peel, who worked for both Waters and Puck, went on to co-foundLa Brea Bakery andCampanile Restaurant[10] with his then-wifeNancy Silverton. As executive chef, he mentored other up-and-coming chefs. “Campanile has played an important role in shaping the cuisine of Southern California and beyond, not just through its menu but also through the many graduates of its kitchen.”[11]

Daniel Patterson, a more modern proponent of the style,[12] emphasizes vegetables andforaged foods while maintaining the traditional emphasis on local foods and presentation.[13]

California-style pizza was popularized byAlice Waters,Ed LaDou andWolfgang Puck, and became a national trend in the United States; pizzas focus less on tradition and more on creativity and California-grown ingredients.

Waters introduced the idea of using natural, locally grown fresh ingredients to produce her dishes. California cuisine is... local, based like most traditional regional cooking on available ingredients including abundant seafood. Fresh vegetables, lightly cooked, and fresh fruits, berries, and herbs characterize the cuisine generally, but California cooking is also in fact a fusion of cooking from around the world."
