Brainfood! This broth recipe alters the flavor of beef liver into a mild truffle mushroom broth. Beef liver contains more of the brainfood called choline than any other food, and a pinch of turmeric helps deliver the choline from the bloodstream to the brains. With golden colored clear truffle broth as a base, we make dinner, luncheon and children soups that every body likes.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. I learned growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish from my farmer grandparents and parents. 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.
