I’ve always enjoys planning and making lists. I’m a bit OCD about it. Even as a child I was a planner. I would draft detailed list for packing on trips. My meticulous Christmas lists included carefully numbered instructions and magazine clippings for guidance—should any of the parties involved be confused. There may have been a […]

Korean Gochujang Ragu
I’m not sure what inspired me to use Korean Gochujang in a pasta dish. Granted, I’m never entirely sure of the origin of inspiration behind many of my dishes. A memory or dream? A bad dining experience reimagined? A fun fusion of genres? Necessity? It’s the mother of invention after all. I’ve always enjoyed experimenting […]
Mint Chocolate Dutch Baby
I remember as a child wanting desperately to grow up, to become an adult. Emphasis on the “a” because, as a kid I that pronunciation sounded more…grown-up. Independence was a motivating factor of course and one of the things I was fixated on was the idea I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. […]
Pineapple Ginger Tea with Sympathy
Having a bad day? Feeling under the weather? Feel like running away from life? I can sympathize and so can this drink! Ok, that was a bit cheesey. But really this drink is perfect for all the aforementioned scenarios. My aunt once told me a delightful story about a vacation she took to New Orleans several […]
Coconut Oatmeal with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
The only time being sick has any real perks is when you’re a kid. I’m currently fighting off a cold and there’s nothing worse than fending for yourself when your sinuses feel like they are going to explode. Except maybe undertaking food-styling and photography while you feel like your sinuses are going to explode. But […]
Kale Pesto Quinoa Bowls + Naked Juice’s Kale Blazer
With Valentine’s Day on the horizon love is in the air and what says love more than a gorgeous green and purple bouquet of kale? Haha. No I’m serious. Flowers and chocolates are overrated. Just ask Simon, he knows I prefer the unusual to the traditional. I’m excited to bring you today’s collaboration post with […]
Orange Chicken Burritos
Orange. Chicken. Burritos. These are the three tantalizing words I bring you today. A magical fusion of genres that will have you rethinking every burrito you ever had. Every burrito you’ll ever make. There have been rumblings of the food trucks in Los Angeles that offer such delectable culinary curiosities—but that’s not conducive to my […]
Pho Ga Miso Ramen
Ramen is my spirit animal but I suppose pho could be considered a spirit guide. These two soup genres somehow standout above all other soups I’ve had thus far in life. Something about the broth (which can vary greatly for ramen), the noodles, the aromatics—everything comes together in a way that causes me to momentarily forget […]
