• “Is Living Coastal purely a cookbook? No, it’s a hybrid cookbook, art book, design book. It’s the perfect siren song for your coffee table and your kitchen, a homage to the spirit of the Pacific as translated by San Diego and its border influences, and a temptation to those who live in colder climes and dream of this iconic beachy SoCal lifestyle.”
