seoul vegan potluck

in only the second month of the seoul vegan potluck , a community was born. it was a lovely sunday afternoon, surrounded by new friends and beautiful food at SPACE, an urban oasis in the center of seoul, where wellness is on the menu daily.

we feasted on moroccan zaalouk, fig and walnut salad, roasted red pepper hummus, ratatouille and a late summer quinoa medley. bellies were full, friendships were made and SPACE was warmed by the coming together of our community in our humble oasis.

thanks seoul vegan potluck for a wonderfully tasty and heart-warming event last weekend and thanks chincha magazine for including my fig salad! can’t wait for next month at casablanca!

pop up dinner | AWAKE issue launch

in celebration of spring and the release of AWAKE - the most recent issue from the kitchens of pinch and dash, danielle (dash) and i cooked our little butts off for a pop-up dinner party in the heart of seoul. it was a memorable evening and a very special one considering danielle (my oh-so-sweet partner in the kitchen) moved back to canada just a couple weeks later.

we and our guests feasted on french lentils, spring greens and handcut yam fries with chimichurri. we had a lovely time, made some new friends, and left with a full belly and full heart.

wishing you all many beautiful meals with your friends and loved ones this spring.

fertilization celebration

it’s a fertilization celebration!

smoothies. sunshine. miso burgers. chimichurri. home brew. sweet jams. seedlings. mojitos. spring! our new community garden is born…

we plan to enjoy many a sunny day on the rooftop of the SPACE pad in the company of our friends and neighbors… working the soil, growing a bounty of fresh organic food and sharing it with all of you. come by for some rooftop yoga, sunday brunch, herbal tincture workshops, community potlucks, movie night, and maybe even a dance party or two :)

sunday dinner

“Every week for the past 30 years, I’ve hosted a Sunday dinner in my home in Paris. People, including total strangers, call or e-mail to book a spot. Every Sunday a different friend prepares a feast. Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next week a dear friend from London will cook.

People from all corners of the world come to break bread together, to meet, to talk, connect and often become friends. All ages, nationalities, races, professions gather here, and since there is no organized seating, the opportunity for mingling couldn’t be better. I love the randomness.

I believe in introducing people to people. People are most important in my life. Many travelers go to see things like the Tower of London, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and so on. I travel to see friends, even—or especially—those I’ve never met."

a beautifully refreshing idea by Jim Haynes...
