Carl Schroeder, Chef/Owner of Market Restaurant + Bar in Del Mar,
California, grew up in La Jolla and has San Diego in his soul. He knows
the lay of the land here and is dedicated to working with local farmers
and fishermen. San Diego is, after all, a coastal city with an abundance
of seafood and access to fresh farm produce. He has a passion for
organic, natural and locally sourced products and his cuisine is
inspired by those seasonally fresh and local ingredients. Market
Restaurant + Bar Cookbook's one hundred and forty recipes are from
Schroeder's daily-changing menu and were carefully adapted for the home
cook. He gently guides the readers to the best local ingredients by
season and shows them how to turn those ingredients into great food:
from Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin and Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder in
Fall to Pan-Seared Chilean Sea Bass in Winter to Sweet Pea Salad and
Creamy Pepper Vinaigrette in Spring to Yellowtail Tartare and Dungeness
Crab in Summer.
