LA’s being pulverized by the harshest winds in over a decade, which makes this place 1. Downright apocalyptic 2. Ideal for cookies! Here is a honey walnut cookie recipe that’s excellent when you’re feeling impulsive and don’t have a lot of time, or a lot of ingredients. It made for some nutty, caky, almost madeleine-y goodness. My [...]

Mmmf 009 – Travis Louie’s Magic Soup
November 24th, 2011 · 14 Comments · Mmmf
Crisp autumn weather is perfect for almost everything. Reading, writing, making art, movie nights… Unfortunately, the chill can also lead to a variety of ailments. Between copious amounts of vitamins, hot ginger-honey tea and rest many of them can be warded off, but nothing weaves the health magic like Magic Soup. Over the past few [...]
Mmmf 008 – Marbled Tea Eggs
June 30th, 2011 · 10 Comments · Mmmf
After I posted these photos of tea eggs I made a couple of weeks ago, a bunch of people asked what they were and how they’re made. Tea eggs are a traditional Chinese snack, and are super-easy to make in bulk, thus providing extended snacking potential. I’ll list two recipes here – the traditional Chinese [...]

Mmmf 006: Raw Recipes!
February 8th, 2011 · 17 Comments · Mmmf
After one week of juicing and two weeks of eating raw, I seem to have found a system that works long-term. During the raw weeks, I discovered just how much I genuinely loved eating and preparing raw food at home, so I’ve stuck with it. This, however, did not stop me on Sunday, when I [...]

Mmmf 005 – Liquid Detox: Day 3
January 21st, 2011 · 14 Comments · Mmmf
Embarking on my first juice + soup detox on Wednesday has been an interesting experience so far. My first challenge was the fact that Ales has decided to only do a light version of it for a couple of personal and worthy reasons. This means he is eating one solid meal per day while he’s [...]

Mmmf – Liquid Detox
January 18th, 2011 · 14 Comments · Mmmf
I’m a detox enthusiast because it’s an amazing way to re-boot my system and to test/get in touch with my body. There is a clarity and sharpness of senses that surfaces after the initial two or three cranky hunger days which makes it even more worth it. I’ve read that it’s a good idea to [...]
Mmmf 003 – Mission Control Warming Hors d’œuvres
January 10th, 2011 · 9 Comments · Mmmf
On Saturday, roughly six months after we moved in, Ales and I had a little rocket-warming party to celebrate what’s finally beginning to feel like home. We don’t have people over too often, so I decided to feed our friends in addition the customary alcoholic offerings. Being nowhere near the expert level necessary to hold [...]
Mmmf 002 – Quinoa-stuffed Squash
December 23rd, 2010 · 9 Comments · Mmmf
The sun has come out in LA after a solid week of glorious rain, much to my chagrin. Fortunately, it’s still cold enough to crave winter food, so I’m going to share a simple recipe for a quinoa-stuffed squash. It’s takes about 30 minutes to prepare and is easy to modify to make vegetarian. You [...]
Mmmf 001: Roasted Beets + Citrus Reduction
September 8th, 2010 · 23 Comments · Mmmf
Less than two years ago I said “I like to cook but don’t really do it”, and now I’m a motherfuckin kitchen master. OK, maybe not quite a master, but I do cook all the time, and love discovering new recipes. Mmmf is my favorite term for something amazingly delicious, thus it is the title [...]
