Olive Oil
Wonder Valley Olive Oil is a cook's best friend. This beautiful bottle of California extra virgin olive oil has a smooth, verdant flavor and elevates everyday cooking and eating. Well-suited to all kinds of cooking demands, but just as delicious simply mopped up by a crusty loaf of bread. This timeless superfood delivers a delicious dose of polyphenols, the powerful antioxidant associated with longevity of life. Hand-picked from the sunny groves in Northern California's Lake County and pressed within hours of harvest by a master miller.

Meet Canyon Coffee

Ally and Casey started Canyon Coffee back in 2016 to share their passion for the ritual of coffee and the warmth it brought to their mornings. After selling their coffee wholesale and online for 6 years, they just opened their first coffee shop in August. Tucked in a corner unit of a building at the heart of Echo Park, they serve up their coffee alongside delicious, substantial toast and fresh-squeezed orange juice — and a selection of coffee and tea drinks on tap.

This hearty, lemon-brightened risotto is a welcome meal for cold days. While it’s not traditional, I like to add a bit of quinoa and walnuts to the mix for a bit of a nutritional boost. Pictured here with simply- grilled mushrooms and chives. The mushrooms were tossed with a splash of olive oil and smashed under a cast iron skillet on a hot grill pan until golden.

Smoky Grilled Eggplant with Feta and Mint
By Sheela Prakash
It took me a long time to realize the secret to better grilled eggplant is to reverse things a bit and season it after grilling. Marinating the sponge-like vegetable post-grill means it fully absorbs and locks in flavors, which here is a savory combination of olive oil, sherry vinegar, garlic, and smoked paprika. Finish things off with crumbled feta and torn fresh mint for the ultimate summer side.
