What's Gaby Cooking: Everyday California Food - Hardcover

by Gaby Dalkin (Author), Matt Armendariz (Photographer)

"A celebration of the way we eat here in Southern California, reflecting the region's diversity, the abundance of fresh, vibrant produce, and the fact that we're always tinkering with our diets." ―Los Angeles Times

Here is the go-to guide for bringing the West Coast vibe to your kitchen, with 125 fresh, market-driven recipes from everyone's favorite California food blogger, Gaby Dalkin.

In What's Gaby Cooking: Everyday California Food, Gaby shares her favorite simple and fresh recipes and offers a glimpse into what it's like to "go coastal." It's about always having something tasty to eat, thanks to handy and delicious pantry staples (avocado oil! quinoa! limes! dark chocolate!), as well as an arsenal of easy and healthy recipes, like:

• Chimichurri Cauliflower Rice Bowl with Grilled Fish
• Taco Skillet Bake
• Street Corn Pizza
• Black Rice and Roasted Mushroom Bowl
• Chicken Larb Bowl with Coconut Rice
• Caramelized Onion, Leek, and Red Pepper Crustless Quiche
• Charred Octopus Tacos
• Gaby's Famous Guacamole
• Pulled Pork Pizza with Cabbage Slaw
• Pesto Lasagna Bolognese
• Bean, Cheese, and Chicken Tortas
• And over 100 more!

The book covers all the staples--avocado toast, grain bowls, greens, carbs, healthy mains, cocktails, and more. For Gaby, California is not so much a place but a state of mind, and this cookbook proves that no matter where you live, you can still apply the same philosophy.

All it takes is finding the freshest produce you can, stocking up on some versatile pantry staples, and keeping flavors and techniques simple. After that, the only thing left to do is kick back, pour yourself a California Girl Margarita, and listen for those ocean waves.
