Why does Californian cuisine inspire us so much ?

After Brooklyn or more recently Rio, Tel Aviv and Miami, Los Angeles and more generally California is emerging as the new model of cool lifestyle. At the same time, healthy, rock, positive, creative and sporty, the Californian woman, well in her sneakers, on her skateboard or on her surfboard, imposes a « way of life » with a real identity that seduces and fascinates even in the plate. Deciphering an inspiring trend that makes you want to be copied.

FAVOURABLE CLIMATE – CALIFORNIA SUN
In Los Angeles, the climate is favourable all year round. Facing the sun, with its long white sandy beaches, lined with palm trees, the city of Angels is extremely large to encourage outdoor sports activities but also to support efficient soil cultivation. Mediterranean-type agriculture is very rich and varied around raw materials of incomparable quality (citrus fruits, pickles, almonds, wine…) which impose California as the leading producer state of fruits, vegetables, meat, milk… of the United States. It is not for nothing that the famous « farmer markets » have developed here, which have set up and promoted locavorism and short circuits.

DREAM LIFESTYLE – CALIFORNIA DREAMING
Fans of wellness and good vibrations, Californians feel good in their bodies and are the new models of well-being. Cool and sexy, they run in front of the ocean and take the wave early in the morning before going on to a coconut milk chaï latte or a kale salad. It is this approach to well-being, this healthy « way of life » and listening to oneself (yoga, spirituality, serenity, energy stones…) combined with a dynamic active life that makes us dream. Ahead of us, this inspiring « feel good » reflects the credo « well in my body, well in my head ». A step back that is reflected all the way to the table, around well thought-out swag plates and well-balanced bowls that have not forgotten to be gourmet (avocado toast crunchy, colored poke bowl,…).

CULTURAL MIX AND GOOD VIBES – CALIFORNIA PARADISE
A multicultural crossroads, Los Angeles and more broadly California multiply the ethnic influences that coexist, dialogue and mix until they shine on the plate: Mexican taquerias with hot sauces, Korean, Japanese, Ethiopian restaurants… but also brought to the pinnacle of well-being by the wave of detox and yoga, the obsession of Californian women for the « green » which expresses itself with positive, creative young entrepreneurs, who launch practical products, often nomads with detox or energizing virtues, in small local, often family productions. Very attentive to respect for the planet and their well-being, they prefer short circuits, are very alert about the authentic and qualitative selection of products. Not for nothing that they are ahead of us on the raw, pure, organic, and obviously spicy, but never with pretension. Always very cool and glamorous, they are committed to a healthy and sexy lifestyle, a relaxed « eat-cleaning » that is good for us, around cold-pressed green juices detox boosted with superfoods, an attractive avocado toast, premium coffees certified organic, and with a vegan approach that is reassuring. Beautiful, organic and good in « sunrise » mode, to be in shape all year round and which will continue to inspire us.
