They say if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life. And after nearly a month straight of 12-14 hour days with maybe one day off, I can truly say that is true. My body hurts. My mind is exhausted. My hands are sliced. Plantar fasciitis is knocking on the door. But I’m joyous. I’m happy.

I met a challenge I didn’t think I could overcome. But I did. I dug deep into my heart. Found reserves in my body and mind. And created beautiful food for hundreds of people over the last few weeks.

It took a long time for me to accept my cooking path. It was even harder for me to change from a ego-centric career that didn’t love me back to one that was more soulful and nurturing and loved me back. I was stubborn. The signs were there but I wasn’t looking. And then I woke up one day and couldn’t take it anymore. I fired up the oven. Tore into cook books. Stagiered at restaurants. I started to believe again. And feel the change. But most importantly, I just listened to my heart. And my amazing partner who kept pushing me to cook!

If you’re not happy with what you’re doing, if it’s not loving you back…CHANGE. Doesn’t matter how old you are or what your experience is. All that matters is you LOVE it. You’ll be surprised what’s on the other side of that transformation. I know I was.

I’m not saying it was easy, but looking in the rear view mirror feels pretty sweet and utterly delicious.

So many people told me “don’t do it, all you’ll do is work.” And they were right! And I listened to them for a while. But I’m the end, what they didn’t understand, and what maybe I didn’t about myself, was that I was destined to braise Octopus and caramelize Celery Root Steaks, smoke Beets and lacto-ferment Cherries.

I’m feel like I’m on my path now, grateful and thankful for finally listening to my heart and actually STOKED to send it for for another month of 14 hour days. And in tremendous gratitude for those who pushed me off the dock into waters of the unknown. Who believed in me and told me to “f**k it.” You know who you are. Deep bow to all of you. In Flavor.

Mushroom ragu and yogurt flatbread. Porcinis and their broth really add the flavor to this dish. With some maitake, oysters, garlic confit, ghee, guajillo chile, and galangal vinegar. Oh mommy pastrami salami Tommy! . . . . . #whocares? #idont #followme #desperate #wannabeinfluencer #justanotherboringfoodpic #chefchrisofvenice #lachef #outofwork #soceityinruin #openforbusiness #ihavenobusiness #surrender #mushrooms #shrooms

I may be able to help. I may not. We’ll see!! Food is love. . . . . . #vegan #glutenfree #artichoke #edamame #mint #parsley #panko #chefchrisofvenice #hearts #LAchef

Quarantine Pasta. Sofrito, pork and beef, white wine, Chx stock, paste, Marzanos, oregano, Chile de Arbol... . . . . . Let’s face it. It’s a great time to experiment with some FLAVOR. This one is bold and tomato-y and super comforting in light of COVID19. Still gotta eat. HMU for recipe. Or reciprocity. ❤️❤️ . . . . #covidpasta #meatsauce #pasta #rainydaydinner #quarantine #letseat #italiancooking #chefchrisofvenice #ugly

Mushroom Carnitas in slow motion!Orange juice, lime, coconut aminos, cumin, onion, cardamom, walnut. . . . . I’ve been consciously trying to cut down on my meat consumption. And mushrooms are nature’s answer to replicating the textures of meat, especially pork butt. . . . . . #mushrooms #chefchrisofvenice #kingtrumoet #almostvegan #carnitas #vegan #eeeats #mycelium #LAchef #mealprepideas #enoki #mushroomcarnitas #veg

Simple grilled Branzino. It’s all about the dry skin. I pat my fish fry and leave on a rack for a day, uncovered in the refrigerator. Then a little olive oil and salt before the grill.
