GREEN GODDESS PESTO PIZZA WITH FRESH PEAS & FETA.

Oh how I love a good pizza. Something in the process of its making fuels togetherness, collaboration, thoughtfulness, and freewheeling flavor play. All things I adore. I also harbor the sneaking suspicion that pizza makes everything better. Breakup? Pizza. Hard…

LIFE-CHANGING PESTO.

I thought I knew pesto, knew its shades and its depth and its mouth-feel. I thought I understood how pesto was made, the simple stuffing of fresh basil into one’s blender or food processor, the olive oil raining over it…

MANGO MINT FREEZE!

Mango season often comes twice a year on Maui. Seasonality is confused in the islands—what fruits when, when the weather is sweet and constant like a faithful lover? But in the heat of July, mangos are usually dripping off trees…

SUSHI BOWL WITH SESAME UME CUCUMBER SALAD & SHICHIMI TOGARASHI DRESSING.

What fuels your creative spark: Beauty? Quiet? Noise? Mess? Neatness? And when do you feel most like yourself: Alone? In groups? With friends or family? These are all questions that guide me when I’m feeling slightly off. Which happens. There…

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM.

I’m off on an adventure today! A visit to Sacramento, where my dad’s side of the family lives, and some quiet time in nature (Tahoe! for a whole week!), and then a dear friend’s graduation from college. It’s been a…

Two extraordinary things are happening this week: The first is today’s Edible Flower Virtual Potluck, and the second is Mother’s Day. The first I am thrilled about beyond belief, and the second is a holiday I have come first to…

SPICY FRIED EGG & CRISPY KALE BREAKFAST SANDWICH.

A year ago, I would never have made this sandwich. Because a year ago I didn’t like egg yolks. I mean, it’s not that I didn’t like egg yolks, per se, but more that I was afraid of them. So runny!…

ORANGE BLOSSOM PISTACHIO MILK.

When I took my first sip of the final, many-trialed version of this Orange Blossom Pistachio Milk, I gasped. Its flavor profile was so surprising, so divine, and so close to how I had dreamily hoped it would be that…

MISO EGGPLANT & SQUASH TACOS WITH ASIAN GREENS.

I’m sitting down to write this post as my father—my amazing, wise father who flew all the way from Hawaii and then drove down to LA from San Francisco—is settling in for a few days of a visit. Instead of…

STRAWBERRY ROSEWATER WAFFLES WITH MAPLE TOASTED WALNUTS.

I’ve been watching too much TV and having bad dreams. It happens. I’m super susceptible to, like, ALL THE FEELS, so when I see someone’s arm get cut off or someone’s brother’s uncle’s cousin marry their great-niece, it goes immediately…

THE GREEN PEARL JUICE.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite slightly sweet green juice. It’s also a juice that was born of necessity—a deep need for cellular nourishment on a hot afternoon. Also: It’s super fast to make, with no messy clean-up. To…

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COMPOTE PARFAITS WITH MEYER LEMON & PISTACHIO.

It was supposed to be a small but mighty jazz club—a tiny door in the back corner of a mall in the middle of Little Tokyo. But the music, a trio of percussion, piano, and cello, was transcendent. It was…
