Bakers Bench LA

Happy first week of official summer, which was marked by our very first power outage 🥲 it’s kind of like LA’s rite of (summer) passage. Our fridge is stocked with all the cold stuff to get you through the heat: 🫐(blue)berries and white grape fruit cups: a grown up fruit cocktail! Mulberries, boysenberries, blackberries dressed in blood orange olive oil sitting on top of a perfectly set jelly of white grape juice and apricot shrub. We love it and it’s a sleeper. Please try it! 🍅 Tomato zucchini croissant sandwich: my faveee dish growing up (and still now) is Chinese tomato egg over rice. Using tomatoes from Beylik, we sweat green onions from Her produce and ginger until it smells like my grandmas kitchen. Then we add tomatoes, cook them and spread this thick sauce over a croissant with some roasted zucchini. This sandwich tastes like summer and IS A STAFF HIT. 🥪 Brocollini romesco sandwich: Tamai family farms broccolini, romesco (roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, sunflower seeds and smoked paprika) and pickled beets on a house made focaccia. It’s got a lil kick to it!
