In the Holiday Kitchen with Jenni Kayne + Superfoodie Julie Morris

Julie Morris is the author of a series of superfood cookbooks: Superfood Kitchen, Superfood Smoothies...you get it. We're obsessed with each title (proof!) and struck on the perfect idea for this year's Christmas cooking class with Jenni Kayne and friends: superfood holiday bites! Holiday party food may be the category least associated with superfoods - and yet ripe with potential for a nutrient-dense makeover. Julie blew our socks off with her incredible, decadent-feeling, and nutrition-rich recipes - all pulled from the pages of her most recent book, Superfood Snacks. We gathered at singer-songwriter, Nicole Simone's home tucked up in one of L.A.'s coziest canyons and enjoyed a kitchen and table full of decor by premier design studio, Nickey Kehoe. Find full design details over on Rip and Tan today - we were especially taken with the vintage Japanese mugs used for our Pressed Juicery spiced cider (come back for the drink recipe tomorrow!) For our class, Julie broke down five party-ready recipes: a spiked cider, dark chocolate truffles, goji berry hummus, cashew stuffed dates and a winter soup. The soup recipe is part of her forth-coming book and totally top secret. All other recipes will be shared this week and we can't recommend them highly enough! First up, this simple, but genius hummus. We love that Julie studded our fave dip (already a healthy choice) with beautifying, anti-aging berries and nuts and served atop jicama chips - brilliant. Second, the dark chocolate truffles, again, a superfood on their own, and here packed with macqui, mint, spirulina, coconut and cacao. Instead of the sugar hangover holiday desserts can often leave behind, these chocolates had us feeling incredible! [olists num=1][olists num=2]
