[.ca] California Pizza Kitchen Pasta, Salads, Soups, and Sides (ISBN 0688164668)

Yummy Salad Recipes!:
If you're a fan of CPK salads then you will be pleasantly surprised to find your favorite ones here, as the BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad and the Oriental Chicken Salad. As for the first book, the recipes have a long list of ingredients, and are somewhat time consuming, but I personally think that it's worth all the trouble.

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust = Wow!:
If you love California, and pasta and pizza, this is a fun-loving and colorful collection of recipes. The whole wheat pizza crust recipe with honey is to die for! It works swell in a bread machine; or by following the "manual" directions. I don't use a preheated pizza pan, I just shape on a cold cookiesheet and place it in a heated oven, and it works swell. You feel like you're not having all the calories or the junk food when you have a whole wheat crust, so there's less guilt.

The salads in this book are very good!:
I loved preparing the salads in this book, although the list of ingredients is very long, the results are excellent and well worth the effort.

Just like eating at CPK:
Most of the recipes have many ingredients, but the cooking part is fairly easy. It's important to get fresh ingredients if you want to achieve an authentic taste. Great tasting recipes. Just like eating at CPK.

Fun to read, but recipes are long and complicated:
Recipes are long and involved and needing lots of ingredients. I did enjoy reading it tho, and I have made a few salads an d sandwiches. The cookbook is very colorful, great photos of dishes. I love CPK by the way!
