Since moving to the Bay Area 8 years ago from Colorado, I've found my happy place cooking and exploring new restaurants in the Bay and beyond. I love reading, learning and watching anything related to the culinary arts. Figuring out how food, cultures, people and politics come together is my jam. There's nothing better than a hearty debate among good friends about whether you'd pick rice or noodles... to eat for the rest of your life. #TeamRice all the way!
When I'm not in the kitchen, you can find me trying to be a yogi, taking pictures of my food wherever I might be eating, rooting for the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Buffalos, out dancing with my girls, traveling with my #teamrice boyfriend or plotting my next food based adventure.
Food heroes include: David Chang, Roy Choi, Samin Nosrat, Chrissy Teigen, Dominique Crenn, Gabriela Camara, Gaggan Anand, Nancy Singleton Hatchisu, Anthony Bourdain, Julia Childs and my mom and grandma.
Bo Ssäm is a Korean pork dish that is served in thinly sliced lettuce, cabbage, or daikon wraps. Topped with various accoutrements, it’s the perfect party dish. This recipe uses pork butt instead of boiled pork belly and the meat can be repurposed for different meals! I love it in a quesadilla served alongside some kimchi.
