"By the 1500s, Spanish explorers had adopted many of the indigenous foods of Mexico; 200 years later, their descendants traveled to Alta California where they discovered new fare and, adapting to the local abundance, fashioned a unique cuisine. The rancheros turned this fusion of Spanish and Mexican culinary heritage, piquant with California's bountiful offerings, into an art."
