Cookbook Spotlight: Roy Khoo, Executive Chef of The California Club

Khoo's Santa Barbara spot prawn recipe originates from his grandmother and incorporates a crisp, refreshing slaw and sweet potato puree.

“This dish has a distinctive flavor profile. It’s firm in texture and sweeter in flavor. I reinvented it based on a recipe from my grandmother, incorporating a crisp, refreshing slaw and sweet potato puree,” says Roy Khoo, Executive Chef of The California Club (Los Angeles, Calif.)
