Kismet

"Bold Mediterranean flavors and vegetable-centric California cuisine unite in 100 bright, fresh recipes for everyday meals, from the women chef-owners behind Kismet and Kismet Rotisserie in Los Angeles. Starring over 100 recipes, Kismet captures the casual, super fresh, vegetable-forward cooking the award-winning Los Angeles restaurant is known for. Thoughtfully adapted for home cooks, recipes like Persimmon Caper Salad and Harissa Party Wings are a tantalizing blend of casual California cool and vibrant Middle Eastern-inspired flavors. A chapter devoted to dips and schmears includes variations of labneh, tahini, and zhoug that pair beautifully with Yemenite-Jewish Malawach, plus recipes for Peanut Muhammara, and Garlicky Bean Dip. In the "Salady" chapter there's a modern Wedge with Miso-Poppy Dressing, along with an inspired Marinated Feta topped with Warm Dates and Rosewater-Marinated Onions, or Spice-Roasted Tomatoes and Grapefruit. And although vegetables may be the stars of the book, you'll also find recipes for Blistered Shishitos with Shrimp, Poached Eggs in Lentils, Steak with Grapes and Grilled Peppers, Rotisserie Chicken with Schmaltzy Potatoes, and more. With stunning photography, unique design, and easy recipes featuring tips and tricks to help along the way, Kismet is a delicious vibe that folds assertive, bright flavors into dishes that can be served any night of the week or made to celebrate special occasions"--
