You get La Copine. This week I sat down with Nikki Hill and Claire Wadsworth — the couple and creative duo behind one of the most talked-about destination restaurants in the California desert and authors of the new cookbook by the same name, La Copine . We talk about the deeply intertwined worlds of food, love, intuition, and what it actually takes to build something magical. This conversation goes everywhere — from a vision quest in Bryce Canyon to ancient aquifers beneath the desert floor, from writing wedding vows as a song to the genius of rice flour on eggplant. One of my favorites yet.
