PAPAYA PASSION PURIFIER.

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…read more

ZUCCHINI BASIL QUICHE WITH LEMON-ZESTED FENNEL CHÈVRE.
I adore a good summer quiche. A flaky crust, a creamy egg custard brightened by lemon zest and sweetened with herbaceous fennel seed and basil, and paper thin ribbons of light-as-air zucchini. Although quiche may seem old school and time…read more

SUPERFOOD PORN SMOOTHIE.
One of the best things ever to happen to my kitchen was when, a few years ago, a friend of mine had a summer fling with a visiting raw-foodie-cum-yoga-teacher-cum-tantric-sex-god. She was glowingly satisfied, and when he left town, he bequeathed unto…read more

I am inclined to say that the tartine (which could also easily be called hipster toast) is a perfect food. Each humble yet delicious piece of bread provides a blank canvas upon which you can live out your greatest mouth-watering…read more
PROBIOTIC BLOOD ORANGE CREAMSICLE SMOOTHIE.
Did y’all hear the word about probiotics? Your body has bazillions of bacterial cells growing and zooming around inside, and you can either feed the bad cells (think: salmonella, candida, etc.) or load up on the good ones—PROBIOTICS! I’ve been…read more
GINGERSNAP PECAN GRANOLA.
There’s something supremely comforting about gingersnaps. Something warm and soothing. An unmistakeable aroma of spice. And of course, the best part of the gingersnap—the supremely delish way they crumble. Enter gingersnap granola. Think of this granola as an excuse to…read more
APRICOT PEACH COFFEE CAKE WITH ALMOND STREUSEL & HONEY CARDAMOM YOGURT.
Before we talk about mouthwatering, moist, crumbly, fruity, cinnamony coffee cake, a note on food identities… (I know, I know—but it’ll be fun! Trust me.) I was raised vegetarian and throughout my life have also called myself vegan, raw, pescatarian,…read more
GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT WAFFLES WITH LEMON MAPLE WHIPPED CHÈVRE & STRAWBERRIES.
Let me tell you a story about waffles. I woke up one morning a few months ago possessed with the idea of owning a waffle iron. I never had. But now it only seemed right. What had I been doing…read more
