A California Dream of a Cookbook
"A charming take on California cuisine... This well-crafted cookbook serves as an excellent guide to living in tune with nature and the seasons."
— Publishers Weekly
Eat and drink what’s in season and you’ll never grow bored, your menus will be less complicated, and everything will taste better. That’s Valerie Rice’s motto, and it’s guided her to become an accomplished gardener, cook, and cocktail maker, three talents that—along with her charm and no-fuss style—have made her EatDrinkGarden Instagram and blog a hit. In Lush Life, Valerie brings together her favorite seasonal recipes for entertaining, family meals, snacks, and so much more, including cocktail recipes and wine advice. Rigorously home tested and gorgeously photographed by Gemma and Andrew Ingalls, Lush Life is a California dream of a cookbook that will inspire readers to grow their own, cook it fresh, and pour a luscious beverage.
With wine commentary by James Beard winner Raj Parr and a foreword by Suzanne Goin, author of Sunday Suppers at Lucques.
Perfect for home cooks, garden enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add a bit of freshness to their everyday meal prepping.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eat-Drink-Garden blogger Rice debuts with a charming take on California cuisine that foregrounds gardening, eating, and drinking with the seasons, an approach Rice suggests "takes the guesswork out of eating." She breaks down the recipes seasonally, teaching what to plant when in order to plan dishes based on harvest time. Spring features a golden negroni made with a French bitter aperitif and an indulgent triple coconut cake garnished with mid-spring rose petals. In the summer, carnitas tacos with homemade tortillas, avocado slaw, and a roasted garden salsa made with vine-ripened tomatoes and cilantro from one's herb garden hits the spot. In the fall and winter, tamarind margaritas, squash hummus made from winter delicata squash, and black Manhattans are on offer. In addition to planting, drinking, and eating suggestions, Rice shares tips for spices (ancho and guajillo chile) and tools (a Spanish cooking pot, a Japanese planting knife, a double-hinged corkscrew) to keep on hand. This well-crafted cookbook serves as an excellent guide to living in tune with nature and the seasons.
