Chosen by Food52.com as one of the 16 best cookbooks of 2012, Little Flower showcases the most beloved dishes at Christine Moore's Little Flower cafe in Los Angeles. Her food is artfully simple and powerfully flavorful, and each recipe is accompanied with a vivid full-page photo. The collection focuses on breakfast, lunch, simple supper, and her acclaimed desserts. Celebrated by the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and David Lebovitz's Sweet Life in Paris, Little Flower: Recipes from the Cafe makes it possible (and easy) for home cooks to create Moore's Lemon Lentil Soup, Goddess Salad, Buttermilk Pretzel Rolls, Chocolate Caramel Thumbprint Tartlets, and her famed Brown Butter Shortbread, as well as fluffy quiches, vibrant salads, elegant sandwiches, and much more.
This is a terrific book its full of the kinds of recipes that you know youre going to cook over and over. There are no extravagant constructions here or even fancy ingredients; theres just the kind of casual caf food that makes even small meals pleasurable. Russ Parsons, Los Angeles Times You cant always have Christine Moore around to explain her perfect blood orange tarts, but Little Flower may be close enough. Jonathan Gold, Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer If anyone can convince us to make pumpkin bread pudding with salted caramel sauce in 90-degree weather, it is the woman behind Pasadenas infamous sea salt caramels. Jenn Garbee, LA Weekly Were set to prepare and devour everything in it. >br> Charlott Druckman, The Wall Street Journal An amazing cookbook. Michaela Pereira, KTLA Morning News Im just left to wonder which recipe Ill choose next: the carrot ginger dressing or the buttermilk pretzel rolls or the ginger molasses cookies or the (super) green soup so many yummy things! Lemuria Bookstore Blog, Lemuria Books, Jackson, MS What I like to call the easy, breezy cookbook focused on simple, pared-down recipes perfectly fit for quick weekday meals.
