The writer’s take on a traditional French staple is both innovative and nostalgic.
Sammy Loren has his finger on the pulse of what makes today tick, and he puts it in words. The Los Angeles-based writer’s bylines span fiction, essays, interviews, and scripts—and now a forthcoming novel about Raya addiction, TikTok therapists, and toxic academia. Whether Loren is writing or getting ready for his beloved LA reading series Casual Encounters, he can always count on Niçoise Salad.“It’s beautiful and bold, and it can be eaten at any time of the day,” Loren tells Family Style, from “coffee at breakfast or lunch, or with a martini at dinner.”
