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…

TOMATO JAM, ARUGULA & SHARP CHEDDAR GRILLED CHEESE.

I don’t often take too deep of a dive into the nitty gritty of how I eat, and because I eat very similarly to what I share on the blog, people usually assume I’m vegetarian—which I’m not. Though I eat…

ORANGE BLOSSOM CITRUS TAPIOCA PUDDING (VEGAN).

There were forty one weeks and seventeen hours and countless contractions. There was blood and the thu-thud thu-thud of the heartbeat monitor and a crystalline frenzy of superhuman strength and then there was a perfect newborn human. A human so…

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKPEA & BABA GANOUSH WRAPS.

We wound our way through tiny, cobblestoned streets that smelled like smoke and coffee and the acrid scent of city in summer. We were looking for falafel. We were in Paris. I was thirteen. I can’t say for sure, but…

MISO BROCCOLI SOUP BOWLS WITH SESAME CHIVE CASHEWS.

A few weeks ago, I woke up at 6:30am with my heart racing. This had been happening for several days now, no matter what time I went to sleep, no matter how many reiki treatments and meditation sessions and cups…
