Books
Huckleberry
"Everything in generosity" is the motto of Zoe Nathan, the big-hearted baker behind Santa Monica's favorite neighborhood bakery and breakfast spot, Huckleberry Bakery & Café. This irresistible cookbook collects more than 115 recipes and more than 150 color photographs, including how-to sequences for mastering basics such as flaky dough and lining a cake pan. Huckleberry's recipes span from sweet (rustic cakes, muffins, and scones) to savory (hot cereals, biscuits, and quiche). For bakers and all-day brunchers, Huckleberry will become the cookbook to reach for whenever the craving for big flavor strikes.
On Vegetables
Jeremy Fox's first cookbook was a James Beard finalist in the "Restaurant & Professional" category. Pretty nifty, huh?It features 150 recipes that elevate vegetarian cooking and showcases Jeremy's philosophy of "seed-to-stalk" cooking. He demonstrates how to use the smallest "scraps" to eliminate food waste, all while making cooking with vegetables accessible and exciting!

We had an excellent dining experience at Rustic Canyon. The cocktails were unique and delicious, and each dish showcased the restaurant’s commitment to fresh, local ingredients. We especially enjoyed the beet and berry salad, the golden rolls, and the white fish — all perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Our waiter was knowledgeable and guided us through the farm-to-table choices and wine pairings with great insight.

The setting is small and open,...

My overall sense of this place is that it has some confusion about its identity, and perhaps the hype around it might influence that confusion.

The restaurant wants to be sort of informal, casual, laid-back in a Monica way. However, the menu, which I would confirm is quite overpriced (see other reviews), makes it feel like a fine-dining experience.

I think what happens is that you get the worst of both worlds here. You pay dearly for the pleasure...

I very rarely leave reviews but the food here demands it off me. This meal was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. All of the vegetable dishes were so flavorful and fresh and the fish was Devine. I will say service was quite slow, but staff were great.
