"Kismet is a cookbook created from joy, an immersive and delicious experience that draws you in, hugs you warmly, and shows you just how life-affirming fresh food, lovingly crafted, can be."--Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Bringing It Home Starring more than 100 recipes, Kismet captures the casual, superfresh, vegetable-forward cooking the award-winning Los Angeles restaurants are known for. Thoughtfully adapted for home cooks, recipes like Salty-Sweet Persimmon Salad and Harissa Party Wings are a tantalizing blend of casual California cool and vibrant Mediterranean-inspired flavors. Host the perfect cocktail hour with the chapter devoted to dips and schmears with variations of labneh, tahini, and zhoug that pair beautifully with Flaky Bread (Malawach), plus recipes for Peanut Muhammara and Garlicky Bean Dip.
