## Description

Travis Lett's new American cuisine from Los Angeles's most talked-about restaurant. Standout cookbook featuring 125+ rustic and delicious dishes: Gjelina in Venice Beach, California is lauded by critics from London to New York to San Francisco. It is beloved by stars, locals, and out-of-towners alike for its seductive simplicity and seasonal New American menu created by talented chef Travis Lett. • With 125 rustic and utterly delicious salads, toasts, pizzas, vegetable and grain dishes, pastas, fish and meat mains, and desserts that have had fans clamoring for a table at Gjelina since the restaurant burst onto the scene in 2008. • More than 150 color photographs from acclaimed photographer Michael Graydon and stylist Nikole Herriott. The tactile and artisanal packaging of this recipe book evoke the vibe of Venice Beach and the Gjelina (the G's silent) aesthetic, and showcase the beautiful plated food of chef Travis Lett's ingredient-based, vegetable-centric cooking. Much like cookbook best sellers from Yotam Ottolenghi's Jerusalem, Plenty, and Ottolenghi, Gjelina is the cookbook for the way we want to eat now. • Gorgeous cookbook will be a go-to for inspiring recipes as well as for simply admiring the photographed plated dishes. • Mouthwatering recipes include broccoli rabe pesto, grilled kale with shallot-yogurt dressing and toasted hazelnuts, mushroom toast, baby radishes with black olive and anchovy aioli, ricotta gnocchi with cherry tomato Pomodoro, farro with beet and mint yogurt, cioppino, steaks with smoky tomato butter and cipollini, strawberry-rhubarb polenta crisp, and more.

Review: One of the best cookbooks I own - This cookbook has absolutely blown me away. The photos are spectacular and the layout is thoughtful; almost all recipes occupy one page while the facing page is the corresponding photo, making the recipes simple to follow while cooking. The writing is concise and interesting, the recipes are explicitly written, there's a substantial range of flavors and dishes covered, and most importantly - the end results are amazing. [I've posted a list of the recipes at the end of my review.] I have never been to Gjelina, nor had I even heard of it when I ordered the cookbook, but it seemed like the sort of food that I would enjoy - homemade pizza, pasta, roasted vegetables, delicious but not complicated desserts. I wasn't sure where to start, so this cookbook lay around my house for a while, but once I tried the chickpea kale stew, I was completely hooked. I cannot stop cooking dishes from this cookbook. So far, I've made the chickpea stew (it works almost as nicely with canned chickpeas if you are feeling lazy), roasted cauliflower, charred Brussels sprouts with bacon, kale-fennel salad, pomodoro sauce, pizza pomodoro, roasted chicken with braised kale, kabocha squash olive oil cake, and the show-stopping chocolate tart. Every recipe I have tried has been pure gold. Not fussy, not overly complicated, easy to source ingredients for, and incredibly enjoyable to eat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are going to buy ONE cookbook- make it this one!
*by W***5 on July 14, 2016*

I rarely buy cookbooks anymore. Who needs them with the internet full of great recipes? At least that is what I thought until I got this book. HOLY MOLY- if I had to recommend only one cookbook- it would be this one. I have had the great privilege of eating at Gjelina, with all of the amazing food surrounded by the beautiful people- but if I had to trade going back there for a night or having to give up this cookbook- I would always take the cook book. Every recipe I cooked out of this was a full-fledged hit. Moreover, there are items in here than have now become staples in my cooking- for example I don't think my fridge will ever be without garlic confit or homemade creme fresh (who knew that was so easy to make?!). The veggies in this dish are incredible- seared kale salad, the brussels sprouts, mushroom toasts- all became favorites. The great thing about this book is that the food is incredible, but different. For example, strawberry rhubarb polenta crisp- I have never used polenta in a dessert, but this was incredible and rustic. I will say this- you must love to cook (and eat) for this book. Some recipes are multi-stage productions and not all of them are going to be something you can whip up in ten minutes (although those do exist). None of the recipes were difficult for someone that has basic experience in the kitchen, but ALL of them are special.
