Saffron Jeweled Rice
Friends! It’s almost Rosh Hashanah- the Jewish New Year, one of my favorite holidays- and I’m excited to be sharing this recipe for jeweled rice with you. It’s one I developed for a spice company a while back and when I realized I’d never shared it, I knew now was the perfect time. Iranian in…

Herby Whipped Ricotta with Peas and Garlic Scapes
Hello! Second week of June. What a joy. May was green, strawberries, flowers, lots of cooking, long days on set. June is shaping up to be much the same. Which is completely fine with me. I don’t have too many more things to say, other than: have you been to the market lately? You should…

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…

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…
