Baker Roxana Jullapat, a Los Angeles native of Costa Rican and Thai descent, pursued a degree in journalism before turning to cooking. For the last 20 years, she has held tenures at some of Los Angeles’ most celebrated restaurants including Campanile, Bastide, Lucques, and AOC. In May of 2017, she opened Friends & Family where every loaf of bread, morning pastry, and decadent cookie reflect her appreciation for regional grains and California’s seasonality. Earlier this year, her new venture, Friends & Family Pizza Co., opened at the Original Farmers’ Market in Mid City. Roxana’s first cookbook, Mother Grains: Recipes for the Grain Revolution (W.W. Norton), was released in April of 2021. Her second book, a deeper dive into whole grain cookery, will be published in 2025. Roxana lives in a craftsman bungalow in Silver Lake with her husband/business partner Chef Daniel Mattern and their sweet cat Gilbert.
