Broiled Sea Bass Collar in Miso Broth I just finished eating this, literally, two minutes ago and couldn't wait to share it with you guys. I get so darn excited about eating. Tonight, I broiled pieces of Chilean Sea Bass collar that I had seasoned with sesame oil, sugar and soy sauce. All crispy and […]
Romanesco As always, Julie's Kitchen, is keeping it seasonal. I found these beautiful heads of Romanesco at the Weiser Family Farms booth. I'm totally hooked on their nutty sweetness. A quick roasting is usually my favorite preparation for our little fractal friends, but I was feeling like trying something new. Roasted Romanesco I remembered a […]
Broccolini, Morel & Campari Tomato Pizzetta In a bad mood? Frustrated? Angry? Take out all your aggression on some pizza dough. You can punch the crap out of it. Squeeze it as hard as you can… and it'll take it and then reward you. I came home from work yesterday in a complete funk. I […]

Aboriginal wattleseed is reminiscent of "cacao, coffee, hazelnut and vanilla". How could I say no? I told my friend […]
Trout Fillets with Asparagus, Celery & Chive Salad I played the role of Super Shuttle this week at work, carting co-workers to LAX. It's a straight shot from work and conveniently enough it passes right by Bristol Farms. I don't shop there much, but every once in a while it's nice to pick up a […]
Steaming Scallop Chive Dumplings No Chinese New Year celebration would be complete without dumplings — a token of good luck. These scallop and chive dumplings graced our dinner table. Sweet scallop meat, garlic chives and fragrant ginger encased in a golden wrapper. I was beginning to feel pretty darn lucky already! Wishing you a year […]
Braised Chicken with Porcini Mushrooms, Shallots & Prunes With happy hour ending at six o'clock most places, who has time between working, working more and commuting (besides me) to make it? My solution? Have happy hour at home. I find that it's nice just to have a girls' night IN once in a while. A […]
Sprout Salad I'm on a sprout kick. Four out of five days this week, I had a sprouted tortilla wrap filled with sprouts, hummus and jack cheese. Long gone are the days when my sprout universe consisted of alfalfa and mung bean. Oh no. Take a look at the salad pictured above. Arugula topped with […]
