Worthington, author of The Cuisine of California, also believes in informal entertaining, particularly in the summer. Many of her recipes involve little or no cooking; she favors barbecues and picnics, grilled and made-ahead foods. Her simple but often elegant recipes are varied and appealingly fresh, influenced by both California/Southwest cooking and the Mediterranean "cuisine of the sun." Recommended. JS
