Here are the recipes and a big taste of the personality that have made five-year-old Huckleberry CafE Santa Monica's favorite neighborhood bakery and breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. It’s the place where everyone from moms with strollers to movie and music stars and entertainment execs and their families linger over crostatas, the best bread in L.A., and mind-blowing hash. Huckleberry is the L.A. (Santa Monica) equivalent of Boston’s Flour and San Francisco’s Tartine Bakery, with constant lines out the door and national press to prove it. Nathan’s motto is 'everything in generosity' and her effusiveness and exacting ways show in every item that comes out of her kitchen.   This book includes location photos that visually anchor the book in L.A., as well as more than 140 food and how-to shots and more than 140 recipes for original and irresistible rustic cakes and teacakes, muffins, scones and biscuits, breads and other things that rise, flakey dough things, baked dishes, fried indulgences, pancakes, cereals, breakfast sandwiches, hearty breakfast plates, a handful of special drinks, and jellies, jams, and spreads.
