Review Quotes:
" 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

"Sarah and Sara have a laser sharp point of view, and their food is bonkers good." --Brooks Headley, owner/operator of Superiority Burger, NYC

" Kismet is a game changer. And now I can make these dishes at home, and I will make the crispy rice EVERY DANG DAY!" --Eric Wareheim, director, author, and winemaker

"Combining their cleverness, cheer, and seasoned talents as chefs-slash-home-cooks, Sara and Sarah have written the ultimate cookbook for anyone looking to up their dinner (or breakfast, or lunch, or dessert, or you name it) game. These seemingly simple dishes explore flavors in ways that redefine California cuisine." --Dan Barber, chef of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, co-founder of Row 7 Seed Company, and author of The Third Plate

"I've been following the Sara[h]s for years--not only because they are two of the brightest and most talented stars in the food space but also because their food is what I'm constantly craving: fresh, vegetable-centric, and always beautiful. Now with their debut book, they pass down the lessons they've learned in and out of the kitchen, along with those signature Kismet flavors for readers to bring to their very own home." --Andy Baraghani, James Beard Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of The Cook You Want to Be

" Kismet hits all the right and bright notes. This is a cookbook that won't be on my bookshelf, but rather somewhere in my kitchen where I can get to it easily." --Nancy Silverton, co-owner of Mozza Restaurant Group

Brief Description:
"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"--
