Standard Box $166

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 that were tucked into each Friday’s Regenerative Farm Box, 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.

A Beautiful Celebration of Seasonal Cooking

Fridays From the Garden is a stunning celebration of seasonal cooking and intentional living. The recipes are approachable yet elevated, with fresh, vibrant flavors that reflect California’s bounty. Beyond the food, the book is beautifully designed—full of inspiring photography and poetic reflections that make it a joy to flip through. It’s become a favorite in our home for both weeknight meals and weekend gatherings. Highly recommend for anyone who loves cooking with heart and soul.

A feast for the eyes, the palate, and the soul

“Fridays From the Garden” isn’t just a cookbook—it’s an invitation to live the Flamingo Estate philosophy of “Pleasure from the Garden.” Over 423 exuberant pages, founder Richard Christiansen chronicles a full year of Friday farm-box suppers, pairing more than 150 produce-driven recipes with transportive essays and swoon-worthy photography.

What I love:

Season-forward inspiration. Each chapter follows the Southern-California harvest calendar, nudging you to plan dinner around what’s bursting off the vines right now. Even in Austin, I’ve found the charts and swaps make it easy to translate to my own farmers’-market haul.

Flamingo Estate Recipes that balance rustic ease and restaurant polish. Think grilled citrus–rosemary focaccia, blistered tomato pasta tossed in garden basil oil, or a stone-fruit galette finished with honey from the estate’s hives. Every dish feels weeknight-doable yet dinner-party impressive. Gorgeous production value. The oversized hardcover (nearly 12 × 8 inches and 4½ lbs!) lays flat on the counter and is packed with full-bleed photos that double as mood-board fodder. It genuinely earns a spot on the coffee table when it’s not in the kitchen.

The foreword by Martha Stewart sets the tone, but it’s Christiansen’s storytelling—equal parts sensual, irreverent, and deeply ecological—that makes the pages sing. By the time you reach the final spread, you’ll feel like part of the Flamingo Estate family, rooting for regenerative farming right alongside…
