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…

Brown Butter Date Blondies
Hi, everyone. How are you all? I can’t believe the last time I posted here was months ago. It was last year! I apologize. I thought I’d have much more time and opportunity to blog here in Israel, but sadly, I have next to none. Oh, well. I come bearing luxury blondies! Apology accepted? Winter…

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…
