Kismet: Bright, Fresh, Vegetable-Loving Recipes

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.
 
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.

Review

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

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite go to book

E.K. · May 13, 2024

I loved the pictures the stories and the recipes.This new book brings cooking books to a whole new level. Fresh ideas to old recipes or bring them back with adifferent twist. Loved the red schug, the way they make Labane or melawach.The whole fish looks great I plan to make it soon. I highly recommend this book. It truly is fresh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly flavorful, fun recipes.

T.B. · August 13, 2024

Every time I make a dish from this book it is a hit among my friends and family! It is full of plant forward recipes that are fun and flavorful. I have never been to the Kismet restaurant in LA, but need to check it out next time I am there based on how delicious the recipes in this book are.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique Vegetable Forward Recipes

M. · July 21, 2024

This new cookbook from the owners of the restaurant Kismet in Los Angeles delivers Mediterranean inspired recipes in a vibrantly designed book with a fun, playful vibe. The book is heavy on salads and dips-sauces. If you love labneh, tahini and feta you will find a variety of recipes to try. So far I’ve made the Roast Chicken with Schmaltzy Potatoes, the Go Green Tahini and the Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were all delicious and I would make them again. I rated this four star only because some of these recipes may be a bit too different for my family. Although, there are several recipes here that I’m fairly sure they would like if they keep an open mind. The recipes are not difficult, easy to read and have good instructions. I’d recommend this book to an intermediate, slightly more adventurous cook.Clarkson Potter provided me with a free copy of this book; the opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Cookbook

T.K. · May 9, 2024

This cookbook is a home run!It is beautiful to look at, practical to use and a pleasure to read. The introduction gives you insights into the authors themselves…an interesting read that provides you with a glimpse into the backgrounds of the two chefs. I especially liked the section called “Our Favorite Things”…tips on “essential cooking tools”. Recipes include salads, “dips and sauces”, vegetables, seafood, eggs, meat, rice, breads and desserts. Recipes have detailed instructions with extra footnotes if needed. Everything seems approachable with an especially well composed one page layout and a glossy picture of the dish on the opposing page. The use of bold type and bright colors helps to highlight the different sections of the page. Each recipe has some introductory remarks which are fun to read. You get the feeling that the authors really made all these dishes! For the non-cooks out there, this book is nice enough to buy just as a “coffee table” book.In any case, I can’t wait to try these out.

Easy to read and use to make a variety of foods across a nice spectrum of a favored cuisine. Like the breezy style and anecdotes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mediterreanean with a California sensibility

T. · May 16, 2024

Kismet is the new cookbook from Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson , the Los Angeles based chefs/restauranteurs behind Kismet and Kismet Rotisserie. The recipes in this book will help the home cook recreate the distinctly Mediterranean, vegetable forward, California inflected cuisine that makes Kismet so unique.Many familiar favorites are in this cookbook. Recipes for classic tahini sauce, roast chicken with schmaltzy potatoes, persian-style cripy recipe, grilled flatbread are all here. These recipes are all well written and sure to please a crowd. However, what I think is the books strongest recipes are those that show the duo's creativity. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Salady and As Good Tomorrow As It is Today sections. Reading through the two sections, I kept thinking "I never thought to put all these ingredients together but this sounds delicious." So for example, there is a cucumber salad that uses rose water labneh. Or a hibiscus and beets salad. I was also delighted with the marinated feta recipe which consists of feta coupled with an infused oil. This is something that I had never thought of/seen and can't wait to try it.This book is for fans of Mediterranean with a California sensibility. I really enjoyed looking through this cookbook and can't wait to cook some of it's recipes this summer.Clarkson Potter provided me with a free copy of this book; the opinions are my own.

I like this book

J.V. · December 4, 2024

I did not know anything about Kismet or their food but the book was discounted so I took a punt and bought it. Its actually really good. It is very vegetable focused but you can pair the dishes with other proteins or just have them as a main meal. I really like the book and am happy that I made the purchase. Looking forward to cooking out of it very soon.
