Last night I served coconut seafood bisque topped with a Thai coconut pancake (kanom Krok), and made a truffle focaccia with local peaches, basil and mozzarella. Nothing like a peach at the height of its ripeness.
Felt great to be cooking for folks again. And I am so impressed with aka who hosted the event. In addition to her serious mixology chops, she is as organized, intuitive and passionate as they come. I learned so much from working with her and can’t wait to do it again!

If I’m going to make gluten-free holiday cookie box, it’s going to be the most extra cookie box you’ve ever seen. ✨ In other words, edible glitter is fun.
These are vanilla bourbon macarons and truffles, coconut marshmallows, a rainbow marshmallow rice-cereal bar, chocolate espresso truffles and macarons, raspberry pomegranate truffles, and Swiss almond merengue macarons.
I have a couple boxes left if you want to order gluten-free holiday cookies this year! Pickup only.

You’re invited to our next dinner: The Fermented Menu!

For this one, we’re showcasing local pork belly fermented with koji, among several other courses featuring the best local produce of the season. Koji, a fungus popular in Japan and made famous by two-Michelin starred Noma, gives meat tenderness and umami typically found only from dry-aging.

Tickets cover a butcher shop tour, a custom cocktail, two wine pairings and four courses for $85.

I’m partnering with Local Foods, a grocer and distributor here in Chicago. Some of you may know Local Foods as home to Butcher & Larder. Everything is seasonal and local. It’s like going to a farmer’s marker 12 months out of the year. And, Butcher & Larder is the end-all-be-all of Chicago butcher shops, IMHO.

Remembering this citrus and olive oil poached salmon with oranges, ikura and seaweed foam from 2017.
The theme for that night was the sea, and it’s still one of our favorite events yet.📷

Hello, gleaming potato pancake of my umami dreams.
Housemade lox + paddlefish roe + silver anchovies + horseradish creme fraiche on a crispy pancake = a tangy, rich, salty, creamy dish.
Thanks to for creating this beauty.📷

It’s a new year, but I’m still thinking about our party in 2018.
Champagne cocktails, gold-dusted caramels, potato pancakes with silver anchovies and caviar, crab cakes on parsley root, shirred eggs, and Waldorf salad, specifically. And this wasn’t even nearly all the food!
I guess I needed to get that dressy, decorative mood out of my system. Get ready for pizza parties and luaus this year. 🍕 🍍 🌸 @ Ukrainian Village, Chicago
