Kismet

Available from Book Larder when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Starring over 100 recipes, Kismet captures the casual, super fresh, vegetable-forward cooking the award-winning Los Angeles restaurants are known for. Thoughtfully adapted for home cooks, recipes like Cauliflower with Caper Yogurt and Harissa Party Wings are a tantalizing blend of casual California cool and vibrant Mediterranean-inspired flavors. A chapter devoted to dips and sauces includes variations of labneh, tahini, and zhoug that pair beautifully with Malawach, plus recipes for Peanut Muha
