Since opening in downtown Los Angeles in 2012, Bestia has captivated diners with its bold, satisfying, and flavor-forward food served in a festive, communal atmosphere. Now, in this accessible and immersive debut cookbook, all of the incredible dishes that have made Bestia one of the most talked-about restaurants in the country are on full display. Rooted in the flavors and techniques of Italian regional cooking, these recipes include inventive hits like fennel-crusted pork chops; meatballs with ricotta, tomato, greens, and preserved lemon; and agnolotti made with cacao pasta dough. Irresistible desserts such as apple cider donuts and a chocolate budino tart, from co-owner and pastry chef Genevieve Gergis, end the concert of flavors on a high note. With chapters on making bread, pasta, and charcuterie; sections on stocks and sauces; and new ideas for getting the most from your cooking by layering flavors, Bestia delivers a distinctively innovative approach to Italian-inspired cooking.

Typos I donât think any of these recipes were tested or anyone proofread the book. There are so many typos and the language is terribly confusing. Was really excited about this book but itâs been a total dud.
Poor Binding Quality – Do Not Buy Binding came completely broken and unhinged. Very disappointing as was a gift for Christmas…
IS this a good idea? IDK if this was the right business move for Bestia haha, but I surely appreciate it! I’ve cooked a few of their dishes already and they came out great! As a complete beginner level cook (ramen, eggs, mediocre steak, pan fry everything), I was able to follow the instructions and execute everything! Be prepared to put in lots of time and effort 🙂 This is my go to book for a dinner with friends if I’m feeling really fancy.
