A California cuisine restaurant with mediterranean leaning.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current

Mountain View Farmers' Market

Mountain View, CA…The Mountain View Farmers’ Market will host a pop-up this Sunday designed to provide customers with&nbsp; personalized guidance and simple vegetable butchery techniques to turn their market produce into everyday meals. The Vegetable School, created by award-winning cookbook author, chef, and culinary educator Cara Mangini, will be at the Mountain View Farmers’ Market this Sunday, May 31, from 9:00am to 1:00pm .&nbsp;
Unlike traditional cooking demos, The Vegetable School at Mountain View Farmers' Market is designed as a interactive, drop-in experience often described as “office hours with your favorite professor,” set within the farmers’ market. At the center of the program is Cara Mangini’s approach to “vegetable butchery” which teaches simple, foundational techniques that help home cooks prepare vegetables efficiently and with confidence. From breaking down a head of cauliflower to quickly stripping kale from the stem in a single motion, the focus is on practical skills that make everyday cooking easier.
Market-goers are highly encouraged to engage directly: bring a bag of produce from the market, ask what to cook that week, or learn how to handle an unfamiliar vegetable. Mangini provides real-time guidance, cooking ideas, and simple recipes tailored to what’s in season and available in the market stalls. “Most people want to cook more vegetables- they just don’t always know where to start,” said Mangini. “When you understand how to work with what’s in front of you, vegetable-centered or seasonal cooking becomes faster, easier, and a lot more enjoyable.”
Cara Mangini is widely recognized for her vegetable-forward approach to cooking. Her first cookbook, The Vegetable Butcher, received multiple International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Cookbook Awards and a James Beard Award nomination, and has been recognized as one of the most influential vegetable cookbooks of all time. Her latest book The Vegetable Eater just won an IACP award for best single subject book of the year and is the ultimate guide for turning vegetables into seasonal meals. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, The Washington Post, Southern Living, Oprah.com, and on the Today Show.
&nbsp;The Vegetable School will be popping up at select Bay Area farmers’ markets this summer!&nbsp; You can also take interactive, hands-on classes and sign up for more immersive vegetable education through The Vegetable School's other culinary programing and events.

Like a lost explorer James Ong ventures into the great unknown without a map, with only his intuition and experience to guide him. What he seeks is to create thought-provoking, memorable experiences through his art and design.&nbsp;
Painting is James’s meditation. His paintings depict imaginary places, things, or memories. He is drawn towards Eastern thinking and aesthetics, especially Zen Buddhism and Japanese art and design where his imagination can wander and play without constraint.&nbsp;
As an ex-Engineer, James attended art school focusing on toy design. He is a self-taught painter, learning through books, videos, and experimentation.&nbsp;
When not making art, James likes to read and think deep thoughts about art, design, and life.&nbsp;
“Through my art and design, I hope to inspire others to create their own artworks,” - James Ong&nbsp;
