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.

"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. In the Salady chapter, there's a modern Wedge Salad with Miso-Poppy Dressing, along with an inspired Marinated Feta topped with Dates and Rose Water Onions or with Spice-Roasted Tomatoes and Grapefruit, perfect for a summer picnic. And while vegetables may be the stars of Kismet, recipes such as Blistered Shishitos and Shrimp, Freekeh "Polenta" with Poached Eggs,Weeknight Steak with Grapes and Grilled Peppers, or Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Potatoes will stun any dinner spread.

Kismet has 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.
