As a California native, Diana insists there is nothing better than topping off a sun soaked day at the beach with a classic fish taco. Cruising down PCH and listening to the Beach Boys is a bonus!

Our love goes out to the Steiner family for sharing their charming home, yoga practice and zest for life with us.

It provides a place for us to experiment and grow veggies as well as a chance to connect with other food and nature loving people in the neighborhood. 

Spring is full of amazing little treats, such as baby beets and wild greens. Young vegetables tend to be sweeter and more flavorful than full grown varieties. A fresh handpicked salad and a light pasta are a great way to fuel up after a long day of gardening.

The sweet oniony flavor from the ramps are best paired with a freshly baked baguette, cured meats, and olives. Tossing everything into a basket makes for a delightful picnic in the park.

After an early morning hike it was the perfect dish to satisfy our appetites.

Say hello to spring with our sunny side up version of the breakfast tart topped with bacon, eggs, asparagus and arugula flowers.
