Be Cost Effective: Cut the Packaging!

I get it. We’re all busy and anything we can do to save time can be really appealing. But before you grab that small, plastic package of chopped Brussels sprouts instead of the sprouts still on the stalk in the section right beside it, check the price. I picked up an organic stalk as long […]

Oh, Stuff It!

Don’t worry, I’m not telling you off!  I’m just making reference to one rather non-Paleo dishes that graces our table during this festive time of year.

At A Nondescript Building in Venice…

I have had three of the most exquisite dinners. At LA Foodshop, the two talented chefs-owners,Hyejin and Itay, offer a unique dining experience amongst a communal table that seats  a large group of people who start off as strangers, and then, as the night unfolds end up becoming new friends or turn out to be a […]

Go Ahead- Play With Your Food

And then you can eat it later. OK, it may be a little late for that pumpkin you and your kids carved over a week ago for Halloween, but who ever said healthy food couldn’t be used as an artistic medium and then still be consumed? Let’s back up a little to a week and […]
