Food – Page 6 – Kale and Caramel

LEMONY ZUCCHINI CAKE WITH GOAT CHEESE FROSTING FROM LAYERED.

I think my first cake-making fever struck sometime in the middle of high school, a result of that heady mix of sexual frustration, boredom, and hormones otherwise known as being a teenager. Though it could have also been pure culinary…

KALE SALAD PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED FENNEL, SHALLOT & FETA.

Today is Earth Day! In honor of Earth Day, and of my commitment to celebrate (and grow my own!) kale with Naked Juice, I want to tell you a story about a garden. A secret garden, in the middle of…

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK BARS WITH SALTED CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE.

For a day and a night, the wind moved like it had to blow to keep the earth turning. It was not particularly cold or warm, not a sultry Santa Ana or whatever other sexily named wind that blows in…

ROASTED FENNEL & BURRATA TOAST.

When I finally made it home—my Maui home, my Ulupalakua home, my home in the middle of nowhere on the slopes of Haleakala—I completely collapsed. I stopped answering texts. And phone calls. And emails. I cooked for the first time…

CLUMPY GRANOLA BOWL WITH STEWED RHUBARB & YOGURT FROM CHICKPEA FLOUR DOES IT ALL.

Something in the shock of death made me rebellious. I had never been rebellious before—rebellion seemed too risky, too much of an affront to the possibility of being accepted. My teenage years were full of dance rehearsals, AP exams, learning…

COCONUT KAFFIRITAS WITH TEQUILA & LIME.

Everything here on Maui is simultaneously softer and stronger, fueled by a pungent wave of mana (the Hawaiian word for a spiritual kind of power) that infuses the land, and, in turn, suffuses the food and the people that are…

MEZZE BOWLS WITH HUMMUS, TZATZIKI & BASIL MINT PESTO.

It was the first time in thirty two years I’d landed on Maui and would not go directly home. I would not see one of my parents’ faces beaming up at me from the open air staircase leading down to…

SUPER GREEN MATCHA CACAO TRUFFLES.

I cry on planes. Every time I leave a place that has changed me. When I forgot my laptop at the security checkpoint of LAX. Over completely non-emotional reruns of CHOPPED. When I start regurgitating my litany of past loves…

MISO EDAMAME HUMMUS WITH SPRING CRUDITÉS.

1998. I am 15. I am in the back of a dusty blue minivan hurtling along the craggy and barren west coast of the Hawaiian island of Maui, and I am weeping. I am weeping at the first lush and…

VEGAN TANGERINE GREENSICLE SMOOTHIE.

Things I believe in: The ocean. Beyoncé. Chlorophyll. Saying I love you. Writing. Peanut butter M&Ms. (Don’t judge me, please, thanks.) Holding hands. Slathering oil all over myself. Eating healthy fats. The ocean: Primordial. Life-giving. Deadly. Growing up on…

ROASTED STRAWBERRY ROSE ICE CREAM SODA FLOATS.

Close your eyes. Do you remember when things felt like magic? Go back. Before Trump. Before this impenetrable knot under your left shoulder blade because you spend too many nights editing photos and writing until midnight. Before heartbreak and…

ROASTED ROOT VEGGIE BOWL WITH CITRUS FENNEL YOGURT & TOASTED HAZELNUTS.

I’ve been spending almost every free moment with a human who is just single digit days old. I’ve been snatching her up the moment she’s ready to be burped, milk-sated and serene, all breath and softness and perfection. I’ve…
