La Panza Piena’s Morsels of Nostalgia

Introducing Cozy’s first every foodie collaboration with Milanese native, Carlotta, a.k.a. La Panza Piena!

Birthday Gnocchi

Birthday Gnocchi

    What better way to start the Comfort Food Diaries back up, than with my first Italian-American friend, Tori. While a native Californian, Tori still knows her Italian roots through and through – spanning across the Italian boot from Lago Maggiore in the north, […]

Guri-Guri : Sweet, Soft Hues of Sentiment

Between juggling yoga school, work, and doing laundry I haven’t had much time to write for Cozy lately. But the Comfort Food Diary of the month is one thing I will absolutely not miss – or so help me because these nostalgic pieces are the […]

The Counter : Over, Under, and In Between a Mother’s Greatest Lessons

The Counter : Over, Under, and In Between a Mother’s Greatest Lessons

Often when we think of “comfort” words all too familiar come rushing to our hearts – “home,” “childhood,” “family,” and perhaps most often, “Mom.” I admit, I am no different and it’s way past over due for a piece on the woman who taught me […]

Comfort Just Around the Corner

Comfort Just Around the Corner

When you grow up in Hawaii and move away, we’re given what I like to call a sixth sense that let’s us identify any other Hawaii local no matter where we are in the world. And if you end up talking story with that person, […]
