San Diego Italian Food

A Culinary History of Little Italy and Beyond

By: Maria Desiderata Montana

As ethnic neighborhoods in other cities assimilate to American life, the exuberant local flavor of San Diego's Little Italy remains both culturally and culinarily distinct. Tucked between Interstate 5 and San Diego Bay southeast of San Diego International Airport, the blocks surrounding the landmark Our Lady of the Rosary Roman Catholic Church contain many of the most notable eateries and gourmet cafes in "America's Finest City." Join Maria Desiderata Montana, a daughter of that Italian heritage and one of the city's most notable food writers, on this savory tour through the zesty Italian food traditions, businesses and recipes both in Little Italy and across San Diego.

100 Things to Do in San Diego Before You Die

By: Maria Desiderata Montana

Sprawling over forty-five hundred square miles, San Diego is the second most populous county in California, and fifth largest in the United States. Boasting seventy miles of coastline and one of the most moderate climates in the world, it’s no wonder more than three million residents have settled into this corner of the nation. Whether you like to surf the ocean waves, cruise the coastal highways, hike through arid canyons, snowboard in the mountains, or enjoy a cool desert evening, everything is within a day’s drive. First discovered by Spanish explorers in 1542, the region waited over three hundred years to become an official state. Today, it’s home to a large military presence, including major bases for the US Navy, US Marine Corps, and US Coast Guard. It’s also a magnet for cutting-edge technology and science, including some of the most renowned educational institutions in California. The temperate climate is also a major contributor to the top-tier agriculture and tourism industries. So whether you’re a Southern California native or just dreaming you are, 100 Things to Do in San Diego Before You Die is packed with obvious and not-so-obvious opportunities to discover the best that San Diego has to offer.

Market Restaurant + Bar Cookbook

Seasonally Inspired Cuisine from Southern California

By: Carl Schroeder,Maria Desiderata Montana

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 toSweet Pea Salad and Creamy Pepper Vinaigrette in Spring to Yellowtail Tartare and Dungeness Crab in Summer.
