A ♥ Letter to Summer: Sweet Cherry & Blueberry Galette
Dear Summer, I love you for a lot of things. I love you for the golden glow you give me. I love you for your long afternoons. I love you for juicy watermelons, eaten with sticky fingers besides a dwindling stack of napkins. I love you for your sounds: sometimes, a hazy stillness, sometimes, crickets…

Triple Berry Pavlova
Summer! Fresh berries, freedom, joy. For the next few months, the sun is on my side. I like that very much. I am eating all the berries I can get my hands on. Mostly just fresh, or on yogurt. But when I feel fancy, I love putting berries on a pavlova. There’s something so perfect…

Toasty S’mores Ice Cream Sundae
I’ve been on an ice cream kick lately. If you don’t believe me, come check our freezer. A myriad assortment of ice creams sits there, surrounded by things like caramel and fudge sauce, all of them just waiting for someone to stumble upon them. I can’t help it; you wouldn’t be able to, either, if…

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…

Cacao Nib & Frangelico Cheesecake
Cheesecake. If you are lucky, you know it well: if you are luckier, you know it in it’s smoothest, creamiest form. But maybe you know cheesecake as being crumbly, or lacking flavor, in the name of cutting calories corners? Maybe you have had cheesecakes that cracked right down the middle, or ones that sogged from a leaky…

Lemon & Lilac Cake
I was standing in my friend’s garden one day, appreciatively inhaling the scent of her fully-in bloom lilac blush, when another friend mentioned that as a kid, she used to eat lilacs. “Really?” I asked. “Lilacs are edible?” “Yes!” she said. “There’s a drop of honey at the stem of each flower, and as kids,…

Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
My mom’s very favorite treat is a blueberry muffin. A big, bakery-style one, with a crispy top and filled with sweet blueberries. The problem is, bakery muffins never measure up to what they could be. At their ideal, they’d be moist, sweet, and exploding with blueberries. In reality, they are usually stale from a long…

Steak Tacos with Parsley + Radish Salsa & Lime Guacamole
In Israel, my dinner of choice was shwarma from a tiny shop near our apartment. They piled their sandwiches with roasted eggplant, fiery s’chug, french fries, onions, hummus, cabbage, salad and tahini, and although it took serious effort to stay clean while eating, boy, was that a sandwich. Since then, I’ve been in love with the concept…

Honeyed Asparagus, Beet & Chevre Crostini
For one hot minute, I thought spring wasn’t going to come. I envisioned endless winter nights, sunglasses that would never see the light of day, too many oranges, and a devastating dearth of peaches. I doubted spring, and I wanted to cry. But then something magical happened: hope appeared, first in the guise of a…
