Blood Orange, Cacao Nib and Einkorn Scones
I have always loved the blend of oranges and chocolate; oranges are a sweet and lightly perfumed companion to classy dark chocolate and together, they are an elegant combination of flavors.

Sour Cherry, Red Currant, Rye and Poppy Galette
The changing of seasons makes me wistful. Have we come to the end already? Nights are already cool, mornings already crisp. The time seems to have slipped through my fingers and in my attempt to catch up with it, I am left grasping at air. I am worried that I will wake up and it…
