About the Author
In the late 1970s, Isaac Cronin was one of the original participants in the California-based New American food movement. His hands-on experience harvesting food in-cludes several years as a commercial fisherman on Mon-terey Bay. As a specialty produce farmer, he introduced California-grown baby lettuce salad to New York restaurants. Cronin has authored five cookbooks and worked as the marketing director of a cookbook publishing company. He has helped popularize such foods as squid, garlic, and olive oil and regional Chinese cooking.
