Flamingo Estate Fridays from the Garden Cookbook

With stories by Richard Christiansen, a foreword by Martha Stewart, and recipes from local chefs, Fridays From the Garden is a collection of over 150 recipes from a year spent at Flamingo Estate. It’s a cookbook, but it’s more than that, too. This 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. Culled from the best-of-the-best recipes, this book is a testament to a new-found connection to the natural world at a time we needed it most. It’s a monument to the pleasures of the Flamingo Estate garden, the people that keep it buzzing, and the myriad ways Mother Nature takes care of us when we take care of her.

About Flamingo Estate: In the early 1940s, a determined pair of young renegades arrived in California to realize their vision of an earthly paradise. High atop the hills of Los Angeles, hidden by a lush orchard and dense gardens, the flamingo-pink estate became a hedonistic enclave of sun-worship, folk mythologies, and psychedelic remedies — a secret haven for wild alchemy in the City of Angels. Now Flamingo Estate is the home of Richard Christiansen, and, in the spirit of its origins, a radical celebration of pleasure from the garden. We carefully cultivate Mother Nature’s wildest, most precious gifts at a time we need them most. The Flamingo Estate garden has evolved to become a collective of over 75 regenerative farmers who share our values. The farm employs strict agricultural practices that enrich the soil, heal the earth, and preserve endangered wisdom.
