Blackened Salmon with Parsley Powder and Purple Cabbage Slaw
My love of baking is well documented on this blog, as nearly every single recipe I post is dessert. But slowly (thanks to many Top Chef episodes watched with my mom) my appreciation for cooking is blossoming too, and I’ve begun to enjoy the process as much as I enjoy baking. One of the things that…

{Gluten Free} Triple Chocolate Almond Biscotti + An Anecdote
“Let’s bake!” I tell my little sister and she runs right up, beaming. It’s not often that I invite her to work with me; I prefer to bake in solitude, keeping the messes small and the techniques flawless. But today, I want to spend time with her. I will not care about any spilled milk,…

Classic Chocolate Mousse
My memories of Passover desserts involve dry cakes, crumbly ladyfingers and ubiquitous boxes of macaroons- the chewy, coconut type, not the trendy french ones. As a kid, I kind of dreaded the whole holiday and by the end of the eight days, I was usually desperate for some sort of gluten. But as I got…

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
By now, you probably already know how much I love pie. In fact, March 14 is one of my favorite days of the year; every year, my friends and I bake a glorious selection of pies and have a feast that’s exclusively comprised of sugary, buttery, dessert. Yeah, we know how to party. For this…

Egg and Vegetable Breakfast Wrap
Breakfast is a meal that most people tend to skip, or at the very least, skimp on, downing a quick bowl of sugary cereal or a steaming mug of coffee on the go. And while I get that mornings are busy, and that there’s not exactly time to assemble the sort of glorious brunch spread…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake
It’s my birthday!!!! Well, almost. My birthday’s in 2 days. But it’s my Mama’s birthday! In my book, (and in anyone’s book, if they’re normal) 2 birthdays in a week calls for cake. Beautiful, decadent cake. For her birthday, I wanted to make a cake that would be sweet, crunchy, chocolate-y, and impressive. I knew I’d make…

Double Chocolate Donuts with Raspberry Glaze & Pomegranate Salt
Do you know what the sweetest type of food is? Food that’s made with love. When every ingredient is saturated with wholesomeness, when every step is done with care- brown the butter, crystalize the sugar, sear until crispy- that’s when food tastes good. Sometimes I lose sight of that objective. It becomes about perfection, and while…

Mushroom, Thyme and Potato Galette
Here is a list of foods I don’t like truly despise: pineapple. Celery. White chocolate. (Is it chocolate? Is it plastic?) Banana anything. Mush…rooms? The truth is, I’m usually pretty decisive when it comes to foods I like- but I was never sure about mushrooms. Sometimes, they’re okay. Other times, they’re too earthy, and their rubbery texture…

Fluffy Brown Sugar Pancakes
Happy February! This month makes me happy because a; we are closer to Spring(!) and b; we are sure to have lots of snow days! A snow day morning calls for two (nonnegotiable) things: a late wakeup. And pancakes. Yes, pancakes! The breakfast of champions when made right, and rest assured: these are. This recipe…

Lemon Meringue Pie
The fact that January requires dessert is undisputed; anyone will tell you that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine winter go down. But when it comes to what type of dessert to be had, there’s dissent: some call for chocolate, some demand the fire of booze, and still others want cozy, spicy treats that will…
