Avocado toast..already a cliche but oh so delicious.

Apparently people have been selling avocado toast for 6 dollars plus in restaurants lately.  I haven't tried any of these, but this dish (if you can call it that) is a great go-to for a late night (or any other time).  If you have perfectly ripe avocados and some decent bread, then you're good to go!

I've one-upped this for an appetizer for a tasting menu that I recently cheffed..  This is avocado on my own brown bread, with sea urchin aioli, sesame seeds and thinly sliced nori.  Delicious and beautiful.

One of the best chirashi that I've ever had.

Chirashi is a sushi dish that means 'scattered' so it's basically sushi fish and other good things to eat over sushi rice.  The one at Kashiwa restaurant near my house is definitely one to try.  Now if I can only get them to let me use their lacquer bento boxes since I order from then quite often!

Sometimes a one-bowl meal is all I need..

This took about 5 seconds to make.  I combined farro which I was already cooked and had on hand, with some mixed kales, sliced steak and arugula pesto.  With a glass of red wine dinner is served!

Pretty food for one of my vegan clients.

Sometimes I'm at a loss as to what to make for my vegan client.  There are a lot of restrictions, but from constraints often come delicious results.  This salad is composed of Israeli couscous roasted cauliflowers and heirloom carrots, some scallions, dried cranberries, pistachios, and basil pesto.  Give it a try!  And I will never use profanity to describe my food!  f***in Brussels sprouts anyone?
