Fridays from the Garden: Recipes and Stories from a Year at Flamingo Estate Book

Fridays From the Garden is a collection of recipes and stories from a year in a verdant Los Angeles garden. But it’s more than that too. Tracing the trajectory of Flamingo Estate this cookbook is the story of a house that became a brand and a brand that became a rallying cry for regenerative farming and Pleasure from the Garden.Spurred from a simple desire to support struggling farmers during the pandemic founder Richard Christiansen turned his bookstore into a CSA box operation which quickly grew into a weekly Friday ritual for the greater Los Angeles community – a chance to connect with the marvels of the natural world in the midst of a global pandemic.Each Friday this box would feature beautiful delicious produce recipes inspired by the week’s harvest and a personal note from Richard urging subscribers to cook a meal for someone they love.
