This fall has felt very un-fall to me. I've been tinkering away in the kitchen to make the perfect mac salad, the ultimate pickled mango, and the best maki sushi in town (#cookbooklife) instead of focusing on the stars of autumn, fall produce.
Read MoreIf it feels like I’ve been a little radio silent or off in my world, it’s because I have. It’s called cookbook land, and I’ve been living, breathing, and subsequently eating all things Hawai‘i. And I’m loving the whole process, but it’s a touch all-consuming...
Read MoreAs the days grow shorter, and my daily workload bulks up, I feel the rapid end of summer flowing into the ever so swift start of fall. And as much as I bemoaned the heat, I’m already pining for those long summer days. However, the silver lining in all this change...
Read MoreHi, it's been a while. I've missed you guys and this space. I'm still here, still alive, and currently back in LA! I've been a little busy, working on this thing called my first cookbook!! Man, nobody told me how much work, scratch that, everyone told me how much work this would be.
Read MoreWe made it to Alaska!! It took two flights, a couple gomacro bars, and lots of Haim, but I made it to Cordova to meet the gang for a week with Copper River Salmon! Molly and I have been talking about this trip for months now and I can't believe we're actually here!
Read MoreHiii friends! It was something like 95°f yesterday and if today's anything like that, all I want to do is chill by the pool all day. However, I think I'll be inside blasting the ac and listening to the new Haim record on repeat (it's so good and I am utterly obsessed with their Want You Back video)...
Read MoreIs it really Wednesday because it really feels like Monday. Moses and I took Monday and Tuesday off and treated ourselves to a ridiculously long and wonderful weekend. We puzzled (as in we put together a puzzle), went out on dates, watched movies, and worked a teeny tiny bit.
Read MoreGuys, it was 90 degrees yesterday. NINETY. I tried to do my home cool down routine, which entails leaving the windows open in the early morning hours to let in the cool morning air, then closing them and rolling down the window coverings after that and it helped zero.
Read MoreIt's that magical time of the year again when everyone gets together to chill out for Billy's popsicle week! Last year, Molly, Lily, and I got together irl to make some coconut rainbow pops. This year, Steph, Michelle, Lil, Moll, and I are #reclaimingpudding.
Read MoreSo far this week, I think I've read about 50, no joke, intros/about this book/how to use this book/tips and tricks/pantry sections/anything else that comes before the recipes in all cookbooks. See, I've got major writer's block. MAJOR.
Read MoreHi, remember me? I know it's been a while, so if you forgot about me, I 100% get it. But I'm back and super pumped because for the next month, I'll be sharing all my fave recipes from loads of new Spring/Summer cookbooks!
Read MoreRemember when Moses and I went to Verona at the end of March this year? Well, we’re long overdue for our recap. I guess you could say life’s been a little crazy as of late. Between my new cookbook deal, tons of Spring visitors, friend’s cookbooks being launched out into the world...
Read MoreIt’s back to reality for me. After almost two weeks in Hawaii, filled with lots of book research (ok, fine, eating), I’m back in Los Angeles. It feels so good to be back in my kitchen. Apart from the lemon meringue pie I baked for my grandma’s birthday...
Read MoreAs always, my time on Maui has gone by too quickly. Whenever this happens, I always sit and think, where did it all go--my time? So here's what I did and where it went... I spent a fair amount of time at my parent's house, flipping through my mom's old cookbooks.
Read MoreWeekend recap: go! First, my dad popped into town for a long layover on Saturday. I made one of his favorite meals, roast chicken, sautéed some giant asparagus spears, and Moses made a heavenly concoction of madeira, cream, and morels.
Read MoreWe've (Moses, Vienna, and I) have been pretty busy as of late. Moses has been working on all sorts of fun projects, most of which I don't fully understand, but I'm still proud of everything he's doing. In case it wasn't clear, he's a creative director...
Read MoreI'm probably the last person to board the podcast train, but now that I'm on it, I don't know what I life was before hopping on. I love getting lost in the stories while I'm in the kitchen cooking or on a walk outside with Vienna. I'm a total podcast newbie...
Read MoreAfter the excitement of last week, I’ve been riding an “omg, is this real” high coupled with the reality of “oh shoot, this is real.” We’re (Vienna and I) are in full book mode and already gearing up for my (sorry V, quarantine is no joke) first research trip back home.
