Ludo LeFebvre is the French-born chef and creator of the pop-up restaurant LudoBites, the hottest spot in Los Angeles. (The rush to grab a spot has been to know to crash OpenTable's website!). His food dazzles the tongue, yes, but also the eye and the nose. Now you can recreate it at home with his forthcoming cookbook, LudoBites: Recipes and Stories From The Pop-Up Restaurants of Ludo Lefebvre. In anticipation of the new book, we got a peek at his home kitchen. Take the tour with us and tell us if you notice a motif!

Who: Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin
What: Founders and owners of Ovenly
Where: Brooklyn, New York

If you live in New York and frequent one of Joe the Art of Coffee's nine locations around the city for your morning brew and breakfast, chances are you've tasted Ovenly's pastries. Or, if you've ever enjoyed a beer at the Brooklyn Brewery, you've probably snacked on one of their ridiculously delicious sweet/salty bar snacks.

Fast forward two years and Ovenly now has a staff of 14, a brand new retail location in Greenpoint, and a growing number of big-time fans and clients... More

Who: Keavy Landreth
What: Owner and head baker of Kumquat Cupcakery
Where: Brooklyn, New York

Inside a nondescript warehouse on a busy street in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Keavy Landreth makes some of the most delicious mini cupcakes I've ever had. When I visited her tiny, industrial kitchen she was about to frost a batch for a wedding delivery that weekend: chocolate peanut butter, coffee caramel bourbon, peanut butter banana honey, and (her bestseller and my personal favorite) maple bacon, which is every bit as sweet and salty and scrumptious as the name implies.

Haleigh's small apartment kitchen in Paris is full of personality, lightness and great space–saving ideas. And most important, it is the locale of her favorite purchase ever, the baby blue Smeg fridge in the corner! This is certainly the piece de resistance, although I adore every little detail in this creative place to cook.
