As LA temperatures climb into the 80s, some of us find the desire to chew diminishing. If you’re too hot for solid food or just curious about adding raw dishes to your menu, rejoice! I’ve been guinea-pigging a couple of ridiculously simple, healthy options that should make your mouths Mmmf with gratitude. RAW BORSCHT The [...]
Spring, San Francisco, sausages. Or wurst, to be exact. These things need to come together in my life more often. Also: hot pink pickled, deviled eggs? Need you. Love you. Miss you.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a Mmmf post here, which is kind of a shame, since, food-wise, this winter has been largely about learning new recipes along with the usual seasonal culinary indulgences. To be honest, though, I’m relieved to be back to eating less decadently. [Except on the weekends, that is.] I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
