Jigme Lotus Zangmo from Kinnaur, India, is one of the kung fu nuns at the nunnery. Here she is undergoing swordsmanship training in the art of using a nandao. The nandao is a sword used for training in martial arts and wushu. Weapons training starts after a student has gained proficiency in the basics, forms and applications training. In Kung fu, weapons are considered as an extension of the body. The footwork and body coordination learnt during basic training is applied in weapons training as well.

These raviolis were hand rolled the night prior. They could have been frozen but we decided instead to stress ourselves out for the freshness. Charred asparagus, cashew creme, a super luxurious black garlic beet sauce and half moons of butternut squash. 📸 @lindsay_hackney

Daniela Degrassi is a catalyst of positive change

Daniela Degrassi is a catalyst of positive change for humans, ya know, in so far as I see it. She’s pro-creativity, beauty, nature, refinement, the human capacity for love. I am sooooo excited for the process that we’ve just begun in collaboration with her and The Kind Bride.

What chefs eat. We were cutting pieces of this blueberry pie in the hotel lobby after the party it was made for. The GM saw us and begged a piece, which we let go of, albeit with mixed feelings. For the crust we used a new fangled technique wherein you essentially waterproof most of the flour by making a fatty paste and then toss that in a little more flour with more fat thats been frozen and grated. It’s a circuitous path to perfect crust. And the filling had loads of lemon zest and green apple with wild berries. #foodbyakara #plantbased #eaterboston #loveislove #farmwedding #foodgasm #naturalbeauty #motherearth #veganwedding #bostonfoodies #whatchefseat #joyfulkitchendiary #fromscratch

Reminiscing about early years in the kitchen with @chefd.daily. What wonderful trouble we got into whilst learning the ropes.
One time, she won’t mind me telling you🤞🏽... I was so desperate for sane company in a particularly high pressure stretch of MLB spring training in Tampa... that we snuck her into my servants quarters and she basically lived as a stowaway for a week in the space between my bed and the wall. True friendship from a woman who enjoys the finer things. Then we drove cross country to Aspen, Colorado to deliver me and kitchen equipment to a ski lodge where my client was in surgical prep and recovery for months. The intensity of focus, straight up labor and daily demand for the best of my skills was hiiiiiiigh. Looking back at the experience, Debbie carried me there like footprints in the sand.
At the end, we skied off the property, literally. And for a few hours we just flew. The whole stress billowing off of us in powdery snow-bursts. #sisterproject #womanownedbusiness #compassioninaction #shesvegan #givingisliving #interdependence

This summer we went Far East, to magnificent Mongolia.

Our founding chef! Teenage years are so dynamic, the souls face intact. We’ve been captive in the kitchen since spring and can’t wait to share more in our downtime about this lovely person’s swerving path. Stand by for tickets to a local to Boston salon and that ever fleeting Akara launch party! Goddamit!

Surfacing after a spell, a little windswept. Warming up all the deep autumn & winter menus. What are you dreaming of? Is it sugar plums?

My root teacher seems to be low key about birthdays in general, but always makes something happen on mine. Thanks to the cosmos for such an awesome life, sparked alive by yours.
