Note: This recipe is adapted from Diane Rossen Worthington's, "The Cuisine of California," (1983). This book was the very first cookbook Rob gave me when we were courting each together in 1982-1983. The inscription of that first copy reads, "..." We still have the dog-eared, food-stained, broken-spined original and have purchased multiple copies over the years to share with family and friends.
