"A colorful, conversational, idea-pricking cookbook is always a welcome host gift, and this one hits all the right notes." — Vanity Fair
The debut cookbook from Jason Hammel, showcasing the all-day seasonal food and arty vibe of his iconic Chicago restaurant, Lula Cafe.
This is the story of 20 years of cooking, love, friendship, and community — told through food. Each of the 90 recipes takes a particular moment in time as its inspiration, marked with the date of its creation. Chapters include Brunch, Soups, Snacks, Salads, Vegetables, Pasta, Meat and Fish, and Desserts, along with dozens of building block recipes and classic signature dishes.
With all-new photography and the warmth of a place that's been feeding its neighborhood for two decades, Lula Cafe gives a vibrant, intimate look at one of Chicago's most beloved restaurants — and the chef-owner who built it.
