Honeyed Asparagus, Beet & Chevre Crostini
For one hot minute, I thought spring wasn’t going to come. I envisioned endless winter nights, sunglasses that would never see the light of day, too many oranges, and a devastating dearth of peaches. I doubted spring, and I wanted to cry. But then something magical happened: hope appeared, first in the guise of a…

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…

Six Impossible Things
My birthday was two weeks ago, but between Purim, busy family events, and other celebrations, I’ve hardly had time to think about it. The actual day of my birthday was nice and calm: my mom and I went out for sushi and manicures, and a couple of days later, my friends and I went out…

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…

Six Impossible Things
Last week was one of those weeks when everything just aligned. I organized my room, made a pile of clothing to donate, and did a little DIY project to spruce things up. I also finally got Tartine’s bread book, a dutch oven and a kitchen scale, and with those implements, succeeded in making amazing sourdough…

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…
