"After leaving LA, the chef couple has built what's become a joyful queer oasis in the high desert with two-hour weekend waits. Their eponymous cookbook celebrates the recipes that have made La Copine worth the trek, from their famous beignets to creative sandwiches like the pastrami-spiced Pork Belly BLT."

"La Copine is my favorite neighborhood restaurant, despite the fact it is in the middle of the desert, far from where I live. Claire and Nikki's food is beyond delicious, simple in the most sophisticated ways. This book is one you will want to cook from for years to come--a brilliant tome from two of my favorite humans who make magic with their restaurant every day."

"This place is a ten!"

"Several people yelled at me for spreading the word about La Copine because it's truly a secret gem. Thank God they wrote a book so I can relive my perfectly yummy experience there."

"La Copine is a special place; anyone who passes through or lives in the neighborhood will tell you the same."

"I felt like a cartoon character in search of water coming across an oasis when I got to experience La Copine. The food they put together is beautiful and thoughtful, and with easy-to-follow recipes it can make your food at home that much more special."

"There's a mystery that was born in the Mojave Desert. If you're ready, it's time to experience it. Because you ain't never done nothing right in your life 'til you taste La Copine. And once you do, you will be different."

"I love Claire and Nikki! The plant-based options at La Copine are delicious."

"...La Copine manages to serve the kind of seasonal, reassuringly confident food that appeals to both brunching families and retreat-seekers on a cleanse, in an inclusive dining room run with joy and exuberance."
