Welcome to La Cuisine d’une Pêcheuse Californienne

I created La Cuisine d’une Pêcheuse Californienne as a means of handing down my favorite recipes to family and friends. The recipes included herein come from a variety of sources including my mother, cooking classes, favorite cookbooks, friends and my own creations.

When I began this cookbook, I tried to include a photo of what the recipe should look like. When I didn’t have my own photos, I searched for photos from the public domain (non-copyrighted photos). This didn’t prove completely successful so I began including photos from my fishing trips that showed a freshly caught fish like one suggested in the accompanying recipe. From there I began to include photos of family members that either provided the recipe or were enjoying a meal together where the specific recipe was being shared. I enjoyed the family photos so much, the cookbook evolved into a combination recipe book and family scrapbook. Enjoy your taste! 

A cookbook and family scrapbook that gives a glimpse into the life of a female fisherman born in California whose passions are cooking and catching tuna over 200 pounds. Pêcheuse is the French word for femaless fisherman.
