ReviewsFrom Bon Appetit: 'Gjelina is the benchmark for a new kind of neighborhood restaurant. The dim room filled with wooden tables and bare old-school lightbulbs is sexy; the Venice location (on chic and cheerful Abbot Kinney) is sexy; and everyone from the servers to the diners is...sexy. In spite of it all, the food remains stellar at brunch, lunch, and dinner.'
SynopsisThe ultimate California cookbook: 125+ rustic and delicious dishes from Los Angeles's most talked-about restaurant. 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, vegetable-centric New American menu created by talented chef Travis Lett. The Gjelina cookbook captures the vibe and allure of the restaurant with 125 easy-to-follow recipes for utterly delicious salads, toasts, pizzas, vegetable and grain dishes, pastas, fish and meat mains, and desserts that have had fans clamoring for a table since the original location burst onto the scene in 2008. Mouthwatering recipes include: Broccoli rabe pesto Grilled kale with shallot-yogurt dressing and toasted hazelnuts Smoked trout salad with grapefruit and avocado Mushroom toast Baby radishes with black olive and anchovy aioli Ricotta gnocchi with cherry tomato pomodoro Chickpea stew with tomato, turmeric, yogurt, and harissa Steaks with smoky tomato butter and cipollini Strawberry-rhubarb polenta crisp And much more Named to LAist's list of Essential Los Angeles Cookbooks and BookAuthority's 100 Best-Selling Food Books of All Time, Gjelina (the G is silent) is a gorgeous volume that features more than 150 color photographs from acclaimed photographer Michael Graydon and stylist Nikole Herriott.
