Left-Coast Cioppino

February 18, 2022
Cioppino is a San Francisco dish with Italian roots. A fisherman’s stew made of whatever is on hand after a long day on the water.

I Had a Dream About a Lunch I Had in Morocco…and Palm Springs

May 12, 2021
Over the past year when we had to find joy and comfort in home, I feel I became so much clearer about my priorities. It was a time for meditating on what I truly yearned for and found joy in, and what I really didn’t want to return to. Travel came up a lot for me. I dreamed of faraway places and new landscapes – some new exotic
