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.

spring

sprouted spring rolls

spring has sprung! i know it’s not big news for many of you but, in these parts, we are pretty delighted to be finally enjoying the first sun-shiny spring days. a leisurely alfresco brunch with my friend dawn this morning was a fine way to start the week. the sun warmed our cheeks as we chatted about a project that has long been in our hearts and is finally starting to bloom. i can’t wait to share it with you but you’ll have to be patient as we iron out the details :)

in the meantime, a little inspiration for your meatless monday: sprouted spring rolls

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 :)

strawberry lassi

we’re breaking earth in our community garden this weekend with a rooftop BBQ and a fertilization celebration! there will be greenhouse building, seed planting, tunes playing, smoothie making, and home-brewed beer drinkin’ goodness all around. if you’re in seoul, join us for some fun in the sun and one of these strawberry lassis that i’ll be making with homemade yogurt at the smoothie creation station. YUM!
