Modern Recipes

A growing collection of contemporary Pismo Beach and Central Coast recipes — contributed by today's cooks.

Coming soon

The Modern collection will sit alongside the Yesteryear archive as a place for present-day contributions: family recipes for clam chowder, favorite ways to prepare a fresh catch, techniques picked up from a grandparent or invented last weekend. First recipes are on their way, and a submission system for contributors is being built now.

Meanwhile

The Yesteryear collection holds 123 recipes from the mid-century Pismo Beach community cookbook — browse by protein, method, or contributor, and print any recipe as a full page, half page, or 5×7 / 3×5 recipe card.

To learn to catch clams yourself, see How to Clam at Pismo Beach and the gear guide.
