Smooth Operator, Part One: Hi(gh), Fiber! How to Get Enough in Your Diet
Any remotely health-oriented food label these days proudly displays the fiber content of the food within.

Still, most Americans do not even get…
Presto, Pesto! Zucchini Noodle Salad Genovese with Kabocha, Kalamatas, and Pine Nuts
Genoa, Italy inspired me with her simple yet amazing cuisine. A restaurant could put three ingredients I’d never expected to see together on a plate with an extra drizzle of olive oil, and I was enchanted! Octopus + potatoes + sweet peppers = delicious. Cod + black olives + parsley = amazing! But my mind…
Wrap It Up! I’ll Take It – Cleansing, Cancer-Fighting Collard Wraps
These last couple of weeks have been awesomely busy, but left me feeling a little run down.

Multiple Food Restrictions? No Problem!
Whenever you gather a group of people to eat together these days, there is always at least one food allergy, intolerance, or dislike to contend with. As a chef, I find it important to be as educated about as many different restrictive diets as possible in order to prepare decadent, delicious, healthy meals with a…
Welcome to my World
Welcome to my world! It’s quite the tasty place, where dreams of sugarplum fairies actually become raspberry tartlets with sweet lemongrass crème patissiere in real life. The fragrances wafting from a beachfront restaurant shack can fall together like puzzle pieces in this chef’s nose and lead to inspiration for a new dish or an entirely…
