Strawberry Spelt Shortcakes
Who doesn’t love a good shortcake? Whenever I make them, they’re adored by everyone, and gone in a flash. Thankfully, they couldn’t be simpler to make: the biscuits come together with a quick pat of butter and a pour of cream and the seasonal fruit is showcased simply, gussied up with only a bit of…

Triple Berry Crumble
Happy first day of Summer, everyone! I love summer for lots of reasons, but I have to admit that berries might be the first and foremost. They’re the perfect snack, I love them with yogurt and granola and when baked, they become, if possible, even tastier. I’ve used berries in almost every form: in pie, on…

Apricot Frangipane Tartlets
Mother’s day is this Sunday and I’m making a little brunch for my Mom. I am usually pretty casual when it comes to brunch; shakshuka, avocado toast and scones are some of my favorite weekend mainstays.

Blackberry Pie with Rye Walnut Crumble
I have been seduced by the big box of blackberries at the store- seduced by their navy color and their promise of sweetness.

In contrast, I stood still, lost in fascination. In front of me, sticky, syrupy diamonds were laid out on trays, sprinkled with…

I can’t believe Chanukah is almost over! Tonight’s night number six. Crazy, isn’t it? Only two more days left until my yearly eat-as-much-fried-food-as-you-want pass is up! I’m spending this weekend in Brooklyn with my extended family and bringing this tart along. So many people think that Chanukah is all about doughnuts and latkes (and don’t get…

Classic Jelly Doughnuts
Happy, happy Chanukah! I hope you’re all eating so many latkes. And doughnuts. I’ve already had 4, and it’s mostly thanks to these. I never want to lay eyes on another doughnut, but I think it was worth it. Only time will tell. These are my platonic ideal of a doughnut: light, fluffy, and endlessly…

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…
