Poached Eggs & Avocado Toast
There is beauty in the poaching of an egg, in the way it swirls gently into togetherness. Water as land. Vinegar as air. Watch it. See how it starts out. Timid, first. Invisible, extant only by way of the bright yellow orb at its center. Drop! In the water, a ghostly, whirling specter as it…

Roasted Potato Salad with Lentils & Asparagus
Happy 4th, everyone! I hope you are all barbecuing meat, grilling corn and drinking lots of beachside rosè. If you are, please have me in mind. I just started my new job as a pastry cook in Brooklyn (!!!) and our opening date is July 10th, so I’ve pretty much been working nonstop. No vacation…

Purple Potato, Cheddar and Spinach Frittata
I am a sweet brunch type of gal, a “where-are-the-croissants” and “can-you-please-pass-the-jam” type of woman.

His grind, his french press, his side of the kitchen. See? I can share!…
