The Grand Central Market Cookbook: Cuisine and Culture from Downtown Los Angeles - Rilegato

“This cookbook is straight-up a murderer's row of some of the best food in Los Angeles.” –LAist 

"The market has always been in flux, the authors write in their introductory pages. What has stayed relatively constant, though, is the overall spirit of the space, and the book reflects it well — and with it, the spirit of L.A." –LA Times

“After moving to LA I quickly discovered that Grand Central Market was the ultimate culinary paradise. It’s the grand Mecca of inspiration for an aspiring chef like myself, which is why I’m super excited to add this cookbook to my collection.” –Jessie Tyler Ferguson

“Los Angeles is a true melting pot, and its authentic ethnic food scene is understandably fantastic. The Grand Central Market has it all: Middle Eastern, Thai, Mexican, Japanese, BBQ, you name it. It's delicious one stop shopping. Literally. You can get your groceries there, too.” –Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

“Whenever I go back to LA, Grand Central Market is my first stop on the way home from the airport. I’m so excited to be able to make these dishes in my New York City apartment now—and to skip the line for Ramen Hood’s slurp-worthy vegan bowls!” –Chloe Coscarelli

“Some of the best and most exciting food in LA happens at Grand Central Market, and I should know because I roam it frequently (the Market, not the city). I shall cherish this collection of excellent recipes and carry them with me whenever I’m not on the West Coast.” –Chris Stang

"Visiting Grand Central Market is the most important part of our family’s weekend routine. With this book, I’m so excited to bring our favorite recipes from our favorite stands into my own kitchen to extend our weekend into the week!” –Busy Phillips

“The downtown market represents the city’s ever-evolving food scene. And now there’s a book documenting it all.” –TASTE
