¿What makes a chef great is her palate,¿ writes Mark Bittman, ¿and the food [Jessica] Koslow makes is highly seasoned, both down-to-earth and luxurious.¿ In fewer than five years as the chef and owner as LA¿s Sqirl, Koslow has solidified her reputation as one of the country¿s most influential chefs. Her food, which Bon Appetit¿s Christine Muhlke describes as ¿healthy-meets-to-hell-with-it¿ is designed to surprise us and to engage every one of our senses¿it looks good, tastes vibrant and feels fortifying yet refreshing.
