The first cookbook from Tyler and Ashley Wells, the husband-and-wife duo behind Los Angeles' bustling, sought-after restaurant All Time, is a collection of 50 recipes for simple, market-driven food alongside some very earnest and hilarious story-telling.
Tyler and Ashley cook and share down-to-earth food that doesn't require rules or fancy equipment. For them, cooking is about feeding people, using your senses, and leaning into life with humor and honesty. The couple's approach to feeding people has won over their community in Los Feliz since they opened in 2018. The Cook Book of All Time includes 50 of the beloved neighborhood restaurant's most iconic standout dishes:
- Fish with Crispy Rice
- Ashley's Lamb Ragu
- The Big Steak Event
- The Good Ass Salad Dressing
- Sweet Potatoes
- The Salmon Bowl
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Betsy's Cobbler
- Paul's Chocolate Cake
There's also lots of practical guidance and instruction for cooking fish, meat, vegetables, sauces, rice, beans, and making doughs. Imbued with Tyler's unique approach and philosophy, real life experience, and favorite techniques, tools, and ingredients (in both imperial and metric measurements), the food is impressive yet totally achievable at home.
Beyond the delicious recipes, The Cook Book of All Time is as enjoyable on the couch as it is in the kitchen. The essays will make you laugh out loud, possibly cry, and most certainly relate, and the photography could stand alone, it's truly stunning. This book brings what makes All Time so special--and what the neighborhood of Los Feliz has been enjoying for years--into people's homes all over the country.
