Returning food to the sacred
A slight chill made its full blown appearance the other day here on the mountain. It had been flirting with us here and there, but last week we had a solid week of chill in the air in honor of the Autumn Equinox. It was surprising good… Like a sweet old friend coming back from […]
Last year, in a state of mental desperation over the level of scarcity and deprivation I was feeling over being gluten free and a vegetarian, I found myself in a restaurant in Maui saying, ‘I want a plate of pork.” Just like that. I hadn’t eaten meat in over 10 years and in one fell […]
So even when I was a meat eater, I never really liked fish. I loved shrimp, lobster and scallops, but never fish. When I stopped eating meat altogether in 2000 it wasn’t an issue at all to not eat seafood, as I rarely had it anyway. Last year, this changed. Deep in the throws of […]
Oh the joy… This is both restaurant review and utter celebration. Honestly, several days later and I still feel like crying with joy! Jonathan, Sanam and Jon and I went into the lovely bohemian town of Paia in Maui for the day. We were there to explore and meet a new friend and meet up […]
Disclaimer: The photos here aren’t going to do this dish justice. Unfortunately, I have yet to figure out the lighting situation here in my new kitchen and way too well lit deck at dinner time.

I could eat a Caprese Salad everyday of my life. Truly. In the Summer months, I come close to it actually! Its perfection, light, delicious, and for some reason, I find it romantic. Not sure why, but even today, sitting here on the deck (lanai) alone working, I just feel a robust romance with life […]
This morning was my first official lay out session at the beach here in Maui. Every cell in my body is singing right now! I got up and did some work, then at 10:30AM I set out for the beach. I’m on a pretty regimented tanning system for the next month. My skin is so […]
This little dish is quick and easy to throw together! I couldn’t continue the second part of this 2 post series without giving you a little bit of food porn and an easy meal. In many ways, the food I’ve included in both of these posts is a way to balance the heaviness of the […]
Looks gorgeous doesn’t it? I can smell the bread just by looking at the picture. After over 2 years of not having a simple sandwich, Jon baked me a gluten free loaf the other day. I have to tell you, the joy was so overwhelming I almost cried. He used the recipe found at the […]
