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. Here, I decided to use a seasonal variation of that combination- blood oranges and cacao nibs- and put them in my favorite flaky scone…

Greens with Grapefruit, Olives and Parmesan
Happy 2018, everyone! I know I’m a little late with that sentiment, but things have been busy around here; baking projects have been relegated to the backseat for a moment. However, I thought I’d share this salad with you, mostly so you don’t think my diet consists only of baked goods, but also because it’s…

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. At my house, overnight guests always wake to fresh scones or steaming hot muffins, tenderly crumbed, in the morning. My brother takes care of the coffee. His grind, his french press, his side of the kitchen. See? I can share!…

Oat and Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Maple Berries
Hello hello! Checking in here, which I have not been doing enough of lately. I’m putting it to down to life/being busy- think 18 hour days on set, few breaks, lots of running around and barely enough time to eat or drink. Living the dream! I tend to get sick when my schedule looks like…

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Can you believe it’s already August? I feel like I’m still processing July, yet here we are- beginning the second half of summer. To be honest, it hasn’t felt much like summer to me. My time has been so taken up with work, living in Brooklyn and dealing with one thing after another, that there…

Blood Orange, Coconut and Vanilla Oatmeal
A thousand opening sentences preceded this one. Every time my fingers typed out a few words, I immediately deleted them. It was as if the things I wanted to write somehow got lost in the space between my mind and my hands. So I guess I’ll just write the damn thing. I’m having jaw surgery this…

Concord Grape Muffins
It’s Monday! We need muffins. We need them jumbo, crunchy with sugared tops and moist with butter. And most of all, we need them filled with luscious Concord grapes! Have you ever had Concord grapes? They’re dusky little miracles. Only in season from August to October, they’re starting to slip off grocery shelves. But they’re worth…

Pepita Pumpkin Bread with Espresso Icing
Hello hello! Are you all as cold as I am? Did you put on sweaters this morning (it was 50 degrees!!) only to be forced out of them by the mid-afternoon heat? Are you busily eating all of the slowly disappearing summer foods and also starting to bake with apples? Good! Me too. Because it’s…

Blackberry Buttermilk Rye Scones
Scone dough is messy. It sticks to sun-warmed countertops and leaves buttery streaks in the bowl. It dusts me with a layer of flour and threatens to leak fruit as I work it. But scone dough is also restorative. It demands that you to knead it together. It requires that you worry about things like…

Cherry Buttermilk Cake with Brown Butter Streusel
It’s cherry season, it’s cherry season! The sweet maroon orbs are flooding the stores, and I couldn’t be happier. They are, however, somewhat pricy; we’ve been eating them judiciously, smashed into a saucy mess and poured over oatmeal, tossed with yogurt and cacao nibs, or fresh from the bowl. This early in the season, we’re…
