Quicker than take-out, no oily taste, and $2 for a big meal. Half a chicken is used to make broth, then deboned and chopped in bite size pieces, while you make a delicious thick sauce from a fresh orange, spices, honey and cornstarch. Served over sushi rice cooked in a pan with this foolproof method.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
