The London Plane Flower & Cook Book

The London Plane, an all-day cafe in Seattle, had a cool, northern European minimalism that felt precise and confident. Sadly, it closed during Covid. But, happily, Katherine Anderson, the founder, has captured its essence in this book. I never fully appreciated restaurant cookbooks until I held The London Plane and realized that, at their best, they are time capsules that capture the sensibility, the feeling, and the food that defined the restaurant. I’m very happy that I can still occasionally drop in on The London Plane through its recipes!
