With stories by Richard Christiansen, a foreword by Martha Stewart, and recipes from local chefs,ย Fridays From the Garden is a collection of over 150 recipes from a year spent at Flamingo Estate. Itโs a cookbook, but itโs 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 Fridayโs Regenerative Farm Box, this book is a testament to a new-found connection to the natural world at a time we needed it most. Itโs 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.
I moved to Italy in my 20s, and it was the first time I experienced good Olive Oil. As a kid growing up in rural Australia, we rarely even had Olive Oil (my mother used margarine on everything). But in Italy, my taste buds were introduced to something wild, and my mind was blown. The Olive Oil from the farms near me were sooooo green, and sooooo tangy, even just with a plain piece of bread it would be somethingโฆ. thrilling.
Since then, Iโve been searching for the best Olive Oil. With a peppery bright taste, that gives you a kick in the throat. The sort of oil that can be used to drizzle over a piece of toast, or a boiled egg, or pasta. The kind that probably needs nothing more than some fresh pepper (and a glass of wine).
It took us a little while, but we finally found one from a farm that I love. This multi-generational family run farm is right here in Ojai, California, and they use the best permaculture farming practices without herbicides or pesticides. During harvest, the organic olives are picked by hand and cold-pressed immediately to ensure freshness and rich antioxidant and polyphenol content (380 mg/kg). They created a unique blend just for us, including olives from trees that have grown on their land for over 150 years. The result is this vibrant, green, and peppery oil โ balanced by softer fruit notes. Our bottles never sit on the shelves for long, and I love that we always have the freshest harvest of oil every year.

What a lovely kitchen set! First, the cookbook is just gorgeous and so inspirational.

The 150 year old olive tree harvest of olive oil, is the perfect finishing oil and the persimmon vinegar is light and fresh. Perfect for salads and vinaigrettes.
