• Crispy Tuna Wrap

    Scavenging a meal over here, Guys. Realizing it’s one of those days where the private chef has a sad looking pantry. A quick scan and my eyes found a can of tuna and cassava root flour, so I built upon that. The “bread” is @ottos_cassava_flour, onion powder, walnut oil (because I’m even out of evoo, *ahem* @kasandrinos), water, salt. Pan fried in a cast iron until the outside is flaky-crispy-yummy.…

  • Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken

    I’ve been listening to @joerogan Experience for the last 3 hours which was a perfect amount of time to slow cook chicken thighs in a bath of chipotle, almond milk, and ghee. ?? Forced to make tacos with the results, ugh! ? Tortilla: @ottos_cassava_flour Base: @primalkitchenfoods mayo & garlic spread Topping: onions, chives, cilantro, lime. ? I’m getting fired up for tonight, it’s a double feature. Grey’s Anatomy AND Warriors…

    So warrior is an intense word, by definition of what war and warrior in the dictionary, but you can apply this concept of study vs application to a number of things and particularly to natural born outliers. From the War of Art. That’s a book, btw. ? Simmer on that quote for a moment. I’ve got to get back to work over here. #eatplaycrush Soundtrack ?: Massive Attack, Teardrop

  • Turmeric Coriander Braised Lamb

    Turmeric & Coriander Braised Lamb. ?? I’d have to call this one of my early signature dishes, going from Tech Executive to Private Chef in San Francisco. Clients LOVE when I prepare this as it takes several hours to make, which you definitely taste in the final results. There have been some pretty cool movers and shakers go into silent (chewing) appreciation at the dinner table. Shhhhhhh, don’t speak. ?…

  • Plantain Tuna Melt

    Crispy Plantain Bun. Tahini Tuna. Tomato. Avocado. Onions. Uber satisfying substitute for the traditional Tuna Melt that has 2 ingredients I’m intolerant to, gluten and cheese. Whomp, whomp. You can whine about it, having to cut out ingredients, or you can have fun with it and still make yummy foods. Obvs, I chose the latter. ? #eatplaycrush

  • Pistachio Pesto Teaser

    It’s National Pistachio Day! …what does that even mean? Who makes up these days? Is there a committee dedicated to voting on what day is national _______ day? Questions, I have. And yet, here I am being a total sheep and posting about it. ? Pistachio Pesto from my 5 Day EPC Guide. Used in the guide for a chicken-kale salad and to stuff in a baked yam, but don’t…

    Oh, yeah. I like this. ? Whatever you wish for, prepare to be open, prepare to be resilient, and most importantly, prepare to get it. ?? I’ve been glued to my floor, next to this cozy fireplace, for the last couple of hours listening to music and doing NOTHING. ? It’s been pretty great. Some might say that’s unproductive. I might say, I’m sorry, did you say something? ? Going…

  • Yucan Porridge

    I took the crunch out of Yucan Crunch from @missionheirloom. ? Craving hot cereal this morning so I soaked Yucan Crunch in steaming hot almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, & maca. Mixed it up. Topped it with melted butter, @eatnuttzo seven seed butter, frozen mangos (love hot and cold), & camu camu. Not shown: 1 soft boiled egg and yerba mate tea. Yucan Crunch is just 100% yuca root fiber.

    Remember when I quit my job, sold everything I owned, fled from SF to ATX for a while, drove to LA, rented a room, slept on the floor for a month, and steadily built what you see now? That was cool. Not everyday was a good day. There was unrequited love. Some dishonest moments. And deals that were totally unbalanced. Still here. Still showing up for the role I set…
