California Pizza Kitchen Pasta, Salads, Soups, And Sides

Product Description

At California Pizza Kitchen restaurants across the country, many of the favorite dishes (and most-requested recipes) are not the pizzas!

The follow-up to the bestselling California Pizza Kitchen Cookbook, this new cookbook serves CPK customers just what they ordered -- secret restaurant recipes, never available before. With gorgeous color photographs of the finished dishes throughout the book, CPK fans will be tempted by recipes for Oriental Chicken Salad, Spinach Artichoke Dip, and Kung Pao Spaghetti, to name just a few.

The new cookbook will include stories and anecdotes from CPK employees from around the country about favorite recipes, customers, and more. In the generous spirit theyre best known for, CPK owners Larry Flax and Rick Rosenfield will donate all royalties and proceeds from sales of the book in the restaurants to childrens charities.

Just like the first CPK cookbook, expect Pasta, Salads, Soups, and Sides to be one of the hottest cookbooks of the year. The CPK chain of restaurants is bigger than ever, and thi5 new hook will be published in the cool California style that has made the first book and the restaurants themselves so popular.

I found the receipes to be easy to follow and the results were true to my experience in the restaurant. I only wish that the book included the Thai Crunch Salad !

I got this cookbook because I loved the the Thai Chicken Tortilla Spring Rolls and wanted to make them at home. The results were phenomenal. They tasted just like the ones I have gotten in the restaurant and best of all I could adapt them to meet my personal preferences. Ive made them with tofu as well for my vegetarian friends and have gotten rave reviews for that version as well. So far I have gone on to have great results with many other recipes like Jambalaya Pasta with Chicken, which is equally delicious.

As other reviewers have mentioned, these recipes are pretty involved and call for quite a lot of ingredients. However, I find that the results are worth it because the flavor is so close to what you get in the restaurant. Also, some of the components can easily be made ahead of time to get the meal on the table more quickly when you want to eat. For example, when I made the Tortilla Spring Rolls for a party I made all of the components ahead of time so that all I had to do before the party was assemble and bake.

Overall if you dont mind long ingredient lists and a bit of prep time I think youll be impressed with how much these recipes taste like their restaurant counterparts. I cant wait to try more recipes from the book.

Amazing Recipes in this book!!!

I hosted Bunko a couple of weeks ago with a "pizza" theme. After I opted to order some fancy pizzas from CPK (pre-baked - all I had to do was stick them in the oven for 5 minutes), I chose to do the Spinach and Artichoke Dip from this book as well as the Field Greens Salad and the White Balsamic Provencal Salad. Well, the dip was amazing! One of the ladies said: "Just give me a spoon!" to which we all had a good laugh! It was that good!!! The Field Greens Salad (I substituted sugared walnuts and pear for the tomatoes) was a total "hit" as well! I will make these recipes again and again!

Okay Cookbook

I am a pretty good cook and an avid CPK customer. I did not feel the food tasted as good as from the restaurant. I know that restaurants have better stoves and ovens but I just did not enjoy the items I made. Not a bad cookbook as it does make you want to go to CPK to eat.

If youre going to buy any of the California Pizza Kitchen cook books, THIS is the one to buy. I bought another one first, but it didnt have their more popular recipes in it. This one is great. I must say that the final products taste just as good as at the restaurant itself. A very pleasant surprise.
