• Peach, Goat Cheese and Mint Crostini

  When I worked in the bakery, I started off on the pastry station. I lasted around one month before I switched to bread. Pastry, it turned out, was awfully repetitive, much too boring for me. While I loved baking scones and weaving lattices at home, that love simply didn’t translate to large-scale baking. Bread baking,…

• Snap Pea, Radish and Orchid Salad

  One of the things I love about this season is how easy it is to throw together a great salad. I know, I know; you thought I’d say something about berries and pies. Well, surprise! I like vegetables too! In fact, I can’t get enough of them. Come spring, I toss peas into pasta, roast…

• 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!…

• Blueberry Cheese Danishes

  Everyone wants to know why I’m making cheese danishes. They make comments like “Wow, so much butter!” or “These are a little more involved than brownies, aren’t they?” Yes. Yes, they are. And no, I don’t have a reason for these, other than: it’s February. It’s snowy and cold. And there’s butter in the fridge.…

• Parmesan Oven Fries with Garlic & Truffle Aioli

  *Last year, we opened 2014 with buttermilk biscuits. This year, we begin with french fries! Recognize a pattern? Yep, January’s a month that’s just begging for comfort food (despite your best resolutions) so get ready for classic, delicious recipes all month long! French fries are one of the (many) things that I can’t really be…

• Tomato, Nectarine and Corn Salad

  Summer is the season for salad, and what could be more fitting than a salad composed of all of the season’s freshest produce? Here, I started with spinach as the base, for some green goodness that has a little more flavor than your average salad greens. Then, I roasted corn over a fire, which gave…
