Fig, Pear & Frangipane Rye Galette
If there is one thing I appreciate about this in between season, it is the fruits of summer and fall that overlap. In the place of fresh pink watermelons, we have dusky plums, and the juiciest peaches. As the berries slip away, floral sweet figs and small, crisp apples take their place. And as multi-hued…

Zurich Aesthetic
I’m finally in Switzerland! Zurich, to be exact, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been four years since I was last here, and not much has changed. The grocery still makes delicious fresh bread, the trams still arrive exactly on the dot, and the bikes are still ever-present. It’s comforting to know that I can…

Baked Apple Cider Donuts
Come fall, apple farms and bakeries alike begin selling fresh and addictive apple cider donuts. Whether they’re glazed with buttermilk and cider, or rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, apple cider donuts are about as classic a fall treat as you can get. I made my own baked version in under an hour and glazed them…

Setting the Scene
Throughout September and October, I’ve been snapping away, trying to capture the little details, whether it’s a quiet moment in the backyard, or a pretty scene at the side of the road.

Decks Restaurant
It’s funny how sometimes a good meal can become a great memory- especially when it’s a meal that took place in another country. My vacation in the north of Israel this past summer was filled with good food and better memories, but one dining experience really stands out for me, and that’s the night we…

A Fall Anthology
It always strikes me as funny that fall can be a favorite season to some, given that it comes on the heels of summer, and effectively ushers it out. But while fall may not be my favorite season (that would be spring) there’s a certain feeling about this time of year that I love: the…
