One day, I hope to truly feed the whole world—but until that day comes, I’m grateful for the small part of the world I get to nourish here at home. There’s nothing quite like finding my center in the kitchen of one of the families I cook for. Being in their space—their home—gives me the […]

Yesterday was the 5th annual Kimchi making fest. Mark and I love and look forward to this day the instant we eat the last bite of that years’ kimchi. Uncle Ray grows the cabbage, green onions, leeks, and Daikon radish. He then harvests it all and soaks the cabbage in salt water the night before […]
I recently was invited to have dinner with a woman who I have admired for years. Her love of food, unique philosophy and passion to give people REAL, CLEAN and SIMPLE food made and instant fan out of me. I remember sitting in a cozy little restaurant in downtown Austin and feeling at home when […]
