...Clint Eastwood, the way to make your day is to sample his hearty apple pie. Eastwood, the actor turned mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., fired off the recipe to The Mayors' Cookbook (Acropolis Books; $14.95), a collection of more than 300 city leaders' favorite dishes. The contents are not only eclectic but reflect a politically prudent regional loyalty: Ed Koch of New York City advocates pasta primavera and Kathryn Whitmire of Houston sings the merits of huevos con chorizo (eggs with sausage).

Now she and the artist Paul Davis, who painted the impressionistic seasonal mural that wraps around the walls of the restaurant, have put together a tiny, precise and endearing conceit: The Arcadia Seasonal Mural and Cookbook (Abrams; $14.95). This may be the gift cookbook of the year -- 28 pages opening out in a gatefold reproduction of the glowing Davis mural. Under the panels for each season are a few of Rosenzweig's most popular dishes for that time of year. Among her best: corn cakes with creme...
