PERSIMMON GOAT CHEESE BITES WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES.

I grew up on the slopes of Haleakala Crater on the island of Maui, a word that conjures notions of palm trees and warm tropical breezes. But my home was surrounded by ranch land and vineyards, and hills that looked…

WARM DATES AND YOGURT WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES, SMOKED SALT & CHILI.

Sometimes you discover really miraculous things on the internet by complete happenstance. Like videos of kittens and babies cuddling, and babies dancing to Katy Perry, and babies…ok, so apparently I like videos of babies (read: my biological clock is, um, active). Moving…

ROSEMARY CIDER CARAMEL APPLE GALETTE.

I woke up Monday morning with a sinking feeling in my stomach, the same kind of near-vomit I feel after I get into a terrible fight with someone I love, a fight where we both got a little unhinged and…

ALMOND BUTTER APPLE TOAST WITH SEA SALT & HONEY.

This is the beginning of an apple extravaganza, in honor of its finally being gray and just the slightest bit chilly two mornings in a row here in LA. Which I love. I crave the reprieve from sun in a…

LEGENDS OF THE FALL FRUIT SALAD.

NUTELLA SUPERFOOD SMOOTHIE.

WATERMELON & FETA SALAD WITH CHILE LIME VINAIGRETTE.

Super late one night last week I found myself surrounded by a crowd of happy friends at the Ace Hotel Downtown LA, all of us famished and voraciously eating one dish after the next. A salad similar to this one…

WHITE PEACH & SAGE JAM.

On one of my father’s first visits to Los Angeles, I took him up to TreePeople, an urban forest in Coldwater Canyon. Neither of us had been before, and we quickly took to the trails, scurrying up hillsides to see…

DARK CHOCOLATE YOGURT MOUSSE.

Every summer, my parents and I would fly from home on Maui to see our extended families in South Bend, Indiana and Sacramento, California—places I considered exotic, steeped as I was in tropicalia. I relished thunderstorms, fireflies, the thick, humid…

ELOTE: MEXICAN CORN OFF THE COB.

This is one of my favorite ways to eat corn: Fresh off the cob, smothered in butter, blushing with lime, spiced with cumin and chili powder, and grounded with cilantro and cotija cheese. Sautéing fresh corn piques its sweetness and…

ROASTED PLUMS WITH VANILLA BEAN.

Flush with gorgeously hued satsuma plums, I scoured the interwebs this weekend for a new way to eat them (read: a way that wasn’t simply shoving them into my mouth whole or sliced). These are some of the most beautiful…
