About East Bay Cooks: The East Bay has always remained true to itself. It includes Oakland, the most ethnically diverse population in the nation; Berkeley, the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement; the island of Alameda, with its artisan breweries, wineries, and distilleries; and the Livermore Valley, one of California’s oldest winemaking regions.
East Bay Cooks is an impressive collection of eighty signature dishes from forty of the city’s leading restaurants. It’s a region that’s got you covered, no matter what the craving. An uncomplicated taco with the power to stir the soul? A nourishing bowl of authentic Singaporean laksa? Shrimp and grits with layers of flavors never imagined? It’s all here, and designed with home cooks in mind, so that re-creating signature dishes from the area’s favorite chefs has never been easier.
