There are three recipes here- Pan Fried Chickpea Battered Fish with Indian Spices, Crispy Baked Potato Wedges and a Sweet and Hot Carrot Chutney. They are each excellent and worth making on their own if you don’t want to put it all together the same way I did.

Seafood Broth (with transformational powers)
This seafood broth was the opening course of the Garden of Alchemy Dinner representing the transformational power of the element of water. Guests were served a tea cup with butterfly pea blossoms and a fish fashioned out of a green chili pepper and lime leaves inside. There was a sticky Thai rice ball with seaweed and a…
Corn and Seafood Chowder (Dairy-Free)
Last summer, I created this chowder recipe specifically for my mother, who is allergic to dairy. It uses cashew cream. Of course, now my mother has developed a cashew allergy. Honestly, I’m giving up. The good news is that I truly prefer the cashew cream here to real cream, and people other than…
Grilled Oysters with Green Gage Plum and Shiso Relish/ My beautiful food obsessed family

Salmon Ceviche (inspired by Chile)
My husband and I spent most of last January in Chile working on this puppet show and then traveling a bit. It was a glorious southern hemisphere summer. We ate a lot of terrific food, which I have been putting off sharing until the weather got warmer in my home hemisphere. Chile has 2,563 miles…
Furikaki Crusted Seared Ahi with a Salad of Spicy Vegetables
My mother and I got to cook Christmas dinner together this year. She made a very delicious lamb roast and I made a salad from all of the amazing locally grown vegetables that you can buy on Maui in the dead of winter (watercress, kohlrabi, watermelon radishes). The salad was spicy, crunchy and full of…
