Super creamy Pasta w/ Avocado sauce
We’ve been hit with some cold and rainy weather here in northern Italy. How best to survive it? with a lil’ Comfort food! Ok, I admit, I shouldn’t be buying avocados in Italy, they are imported from South Africa, or South America most of the times. So sustainably speaking (and being a slow food student)…

Unique Green soup w/ scented tofu sauce
First of all, don’t forget to go see Leonardo Dicaprio’s new documentary on climate change. It’s great and you can watch it for free on YouTube here. It’s an eye opener. I found this recipe in a South American cookbook. It has very unusual recipes, many containing nuts for soups or stews, used as a…

Homemade relaxing herbal tea

Summer Zucchini Pasta w/ squash blossoms
Summer squashes are so abundant at the farm. We have them in at least 6 varieties, differing from color to shape. They are smaller than the zucchini you find in Europe, which I think makes them more flavorful and tender. We also have many squash blossoms. I found out this year that squash blossoms can…

Red Lentil Hummus
I have been spending a lot of time at the beach here in Southern california, after work, on weekends, watching the sunset, walking on the beach, swimming (the water is so warm this year, you can easily chill in it which is very unusual), getting seaweed everywhere, watching kids build sand castles, elder couples walking…

Summer Cucumber Salad – CHINO FARMS
Wow August already! I’ve started working at this farm called CHINO FARMS, in San Diego county. It is an incredible farm, owned and ran by a Japanese family. It first started in early 1900s when Junzo Chino emigrated to California and started the business. The produce is incredible, everything looks and tastes so darn good.…

NOT JUST HONEY
Our world would be a much different place if bees didn’t exist: bees are responsible for pollinating about one sixth of the flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 different agricultural types of plant. Some sources state that bees have been around for about 40 million years, others claim there are fossilized remains of honey…

Vegas and PrimeTimeFarms visit
My last post was quite some time ago, but I’ve been very busy lately, I was interning in Matthew Kenney’s restaurant in Venice Beach, called Plant Food and Wine, for the month of June (he is the founder of the culinary school I went to in Thailand). The restaurant serves plant-based food, 70 % cooked,…
