California cuisine is a gourmet style of fusion cuisine that comes only from California. It uses local, freshly prepared organic ingredients and has a strong emphasis on presentation. It is often made to look like art, such as being highly decorated and served in small portions. It has also become known as favored food of the wealthy because it’s served at restaurants and dinner party’s through-out Beverly Hills and upper class areas. It is often served with Napa Valley and CA regional wines. One good example of California cuisine are the offerings of Wolfgang Puck. Popular places for Angelinos to shop for their ingredients are the “Farmer’s Market” on 3rd and Fairfax in Hollywood and “Whole Foods Markets”
