A celebration of California home cooking with 130 recipes and more than 300 photos that capture the beauty, magic, and bounty of the coast. From acclaimed chef Scott Clark, who flipped his fine dining chops into the ultimate railroad-car diner at the edge of the Pacific. Coastal is a visual storybook of free-spirited Californian living, set against the surf, peaks, curving roads, and sunsets of the westernmost United States. This inspired collection of recipes, gorgeous photographs, and vivid stories takes us on a road trip beginning at Clark's beloved sandwich-and-pie shop, Dad's Luncheonette, in Half Moon Bay and ending in Ventura County. Along the way, it visits the fishermen, crabbers, farmers, winemakers, and foragers who stretch along the Pacific Coast Highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
