"A charming take on California cuisine... This well-crafted cookbook serves as an excellent guide to living in tune with nature and the seasons."

―Publishers Weekly

“Reading Lush Life, I was transported out of my hot, humid home in New Orleans back to Valerie’s sunny and lush California backyard. The recipes and photos explode with vibrant colors and images that make me long for Val’s focused and rich California cooking. Lush Life truly captures all that makes this cuisine so unique and beautiful.”

―Donald Link, James Beard Award-Winning Chef, Restauranteur, and Author of Real Cajun and Down South

“Everything Valerie Rice touches, grows, and cooks exudes natural beauty, elegance, and soul. If ever there were someone’s home, garden, kitchen (and life!) I would dream of occupying, it would be hers. Lush Life gets you deliciously from seed to table, and just a step closer to living and eating as beautifully as Val does.”

―Caroline Styne, James Beard Award-Winning Wine Director and Restauranteur, The Lucques Group

Such beautiful imagery coupled with great advice and witty thoughts about both cooking and gardening. And it's approachable - I've made 7 of the recipes already and not only are they delicious but they aren't fussy or intimidating - just the right about of aspirational. My new favorite cookbook!

The cookbook every kitchen needs!! A great farm to table style cookbook that teaches concepts from the garden based on seasonal freshness.
