There is always something great about making that first dish in your new kitchen. Learning the new space, finding out things that are great and not so great about it. Realizing things that you forgot to move or get at the store and making quick changes to the dish based on that.

These noodles use hummus as a shortcut to making something that tastes like Thai takeout.

Last week I went to see Cayucas with some friends, and before we headed out to the show, I made this tasty ceviche as a light pre-concert meal. It was inspired by their song “Deep Sea Diver”, and it was summery, fresh, and reminiscent of the ocean, just like the band’s music!

A version of the classic Thai spicy noodle dish with fresh bay scallops.

Fresh Mussels cooked in a summer beer with some lemongrass and lime leaf.
