Gaby Dalkin is your quintessential California girl. From her sun-kissed complexion to her happy-go-lucky personality she positively radiates sunshine. I had the opportunity to meet her this year and after bonding about a shared love of California, Austin and Tim Riggins (Texas Forever!) I knew I couldn’t wait to feature her SoCal kitchen.

Happy Monday, folks! Chanel here, dispatching from Tel Aviv where sea salt is in the air, fresh produce is filling the markets and the bougainvillea is in full bloom.
