Overview
An Eater Cookbook of the Year, Everything I Want to Eat is the debut from Jessica Koslow, award-winning chef of LA’s popular restaurant Sqirl, featuring more than 100 fresh, market-driven, healthy, and flavorful recipes.
Jessica Koslow and her restaurant, Sqirl, are at the forefront of the California cooking renaissance, which is all about food that surprises us and engages all of our senses—it looks good, tastes vibrant, and feels fortifying yet refreshing.
In Everything I Want to Eat, Koslow shares 100 of her favorite recipes for health-conscious but delicious dishes, all of which always use real foods—no fake meat or fake sugar here—that also happen to be suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or whomever you’re sharing your meal with.
Organized by key ingredients and themes rather than rigid courses, the book includes many of Sqirl’s most iconic dishes alongside new combinations inspired by farmers’ markets and the rhythms of the seasons. Recipes range from jams, grains, and vegetables to meat, fish, and desserts, with thoughtful notes that encourage cooks to substitute, adjust, and make each dish their own.
Expect to find recipes for dishes Sqirl has become known for, as well as brand-new seasonal flavor combinations, including:
- Raspberry and cardamom jam
- Sorrel-pesto rice bowl
- Burnt brioche toast with house ricotta and seasonal jam
- Lamb merguez, cranberry beans, roasted tomato, and yogurt cheese
- Valrhona chocolate fleur de sel cookies
- Almond hazelnut milk
More than a restaurant cookbook, Everything I Want to Eat offers a modern approach to home cooking—one that embraces creativity, dietary flexibility, and pleasure at the table. It is an essential guide for cooks interested in California cuisine, vegetable‑driven meals, and the kind of food that feels both vibrant and comforting.
Everything I Want to Eat captures the excitement of the food at Sqirl—think of a classic grilled cheese turned playful with the addition of tomato coriander jam—while also offering accessible recipes, like blood orange upside-down cake, that can be easily made in the home kitchen. Moreover, it’s an entirely new kind of cookbook and approach to how we are all starting to think about food, allowing readers to play with the recipes, combining and shaping them to be nothing short of everything you want to eat.
