Gjelina: California Cooking from Venice Beach

Nice looking book - it has been printed in a natty way that leaves the edges of the pages very close to the edges of the boards. I bought this after going to Gjelina for breakfast and having the best pastries and the best coconut rice pudding of my life, so I was disappointed to find out they're not in here. And for a Californian recipe book, I would perhaps have liked & expected a few more vegetarian recipes in the mix - there are amusing dead rabbit photos, so don't give it to your rabbit loving hippie friends. It is lovely to read, we've only tried one of the recipes and it came out beautifully and felt super healthy, super deluxe, super restauranty.

I work in food, I have so so many cookbooks, but..... This is my new favourite. If you like vegetables and small plates this is perfect. Meat and fish sections haven't really been touched, this is the go to for sides and desserts in my house.

Fresh recipes

Delicious recipes and amazing sauce and confits that can be added to any dish later in the week, transformational. My favourite cookbook of all time.
