NYC Day
I’m usually a very scheduled and detail oriented person, needing to know exactly what’s happening. But sometimes, I find that the best way to relax can be to simply let go, and take everything as it comes. In what’s become a yearly tradition, my family takes a trip to NYC, where I usually plan so…

Unwritten
Every once in a while, I take a break from photographing and documenting every step of a recipe and simply make whatever I’m in the mood of (sans photos), whether it’s a twist on a classic dish, a variation of a popular recipe, or a compilation of a few things I think would taste good…

Northern Lights
Just last week, I spent a week in the north at a lovely beach-side hotel. We’d get up early in the mornings, enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast with everything from regional cheeses and shakshuka to the butteriest brioche rolls and then head out to visit multiple stops on our itinerary.
