Raw Sprouted Hummus Recipe
Feb 10th
This is easily my most-requested recipe, and I’m sorry it took me so long to post it. Sprouted garbanzo beans are an excellent source of protein, and their delicious, nutty — almost grassy — flavor helps to make this raw hummus a real crowd pleaser. It’s a lot of fun to make, and the unique texture that comes from using the raw sprouted garbanzo beans is what I think puts it over the top.
Sprouted garbanzo beans can be found at some Whole Foods Market locations, farmers markets, and health food stores. Or, you can always sprout your own garbanzo beans. Read the rest of this entry »
How to Sprout Raw Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
Feb 10th
Sprouting beans, seeds, and grains is an amazing, easy way to unlock their hidden nutritional value. The sprouting process is quite simple, and allows for easier digestion and easier assimilation of countless nutrients. Besides adding a small handful to a bright, summer salad, sprouted garbanzo beans can be used in a variety of dishes, either cooked or raw. Hummus with raw tahini, garbanzo bean burgers, and raw falafel are just a few of my favorites.
To sprout garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, select a large glass jar or plastic food container that will allow for the beans to expand to up to three times their original size. Place dried (preferably organic) garbanzo beans in your sprouting vessel, and fill with about three times as much filtered water by volume. Cover the jar with a layer or two of cheesecloth, strapped on tight with a rubber band. Let the garbanzo beans soak at room temperature for 8-12 hours, away from direct sunlight. After their initial soak, drain the water off completely, and replace the jar in its cool, dark resting place. Read the rest of this entry »

Listening to Good Food on KCRW is something I look forward to every Saturday morning.

The crust is made from a mix of raw cashews, pecans, dates, and lemon zest, while the filling brings together a silky puree of blueberries, bananas, and dates — studded with an extra helping of fresh organic blueberries!

“Grill It! With Bobby Flay” Video Results
Mar 9th
The results from my Bobby Flay video tryout are in! …And I wasn’t chosen this time, sadly.
But, I wanted to sincerely thank you all for the unexpected and overwhelming support! It’s amazing to see how many people that I’ve known come out and rally for me. Your comments and well wishes truly touched my heart, and for that I send you my utmost appreciation and thanks. And for those perfect strangers that came on board and voted for me, you rock too! Some of the nicest encouragement came alongside names I didn’t recognize, which was doubly flattering.
Out of the 186 submissions, mine was the fourth most watched as well as the fourth highest rated, but I suppose Food Network saw things differently. Their programming as of late has become somewhat of a monoculture, and I guess there wasn’t a place for someone so cool and so different this time around! 
Anyway, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Onward and upward I say! Please keep your eyes on my website for upcoming projects, including details on a forthcoming cookbook due out early next year, and perhaps another book next summer if my proposal goes through!
With love and gratitude,
