Homemade Pasta with Garlic Scape Pesto
Hi! I know it has been a very long time (almost a year, to be exact.) I have missed this space, and you. I’m back today to share this recipe for homemade pasta with garlic scape pesto. I have been pretty uninspired in the kitchen after a winter which has been dark in more ways…

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…

Crispy Skillet Chicken with Leeks, Shallots and New Potatoes
Passover starts this Friday! I’ll spare you a soliloquy about the meaning of the holiday and how I cook and prepare for it- mostly because you can find that on other posts on this blog. (But also because you’re just here for the recipe. I totally get it.) This is one of my favorite dishes…

Salted Rye and Poppy Seed Hamantaschen
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who like poppy seed hamantaschen and those who don’t. I am strictly in the former camp. To me, poppy seed hamantaschen are the most authentic kind of hamantaschen. They’re the ones I think of when I think of Purim, and they’re the ones I make…

Quarantine Buns
I couldn’t think of a title for these. Chocolate buns? Iced buns? These-aren’t-what-they-were-supposed-to-be buns? Because these weren’t supposed to be chocolate buns. They were going to be cinnamon buns, right up until I rolled out the dough, went to make the filling and realized I was out of both brown sugar and cream cheese. On…

Herby Quinoa with Roasted Carrots, Pomegranate, and Pistachios + A Passover Guide
It’s easy to view Passover as a burden. With grains, rice, and even seeds and legumes completely verboten*, the restrictions can feel overwhelming and the options few. But instead of viewing the eight day holiday with dread of deprivation, I view it as a time to rediscover basics. To pare back, to simplify and to…

Almond and Raspberry Linzer Cookies
i love love. i love the warmth of it, the way it wraps you in its sun; how it could be raining, it could be snowing, but that sun will keep you warm, and radiating with enough heat to warm everyone near you. i love the feel of it: thrilling, electric, a shock current, and…

Salted Tahini Rye Brownies
I went to Peru for a month with my friends! It was magical. Beautiful. Cold. Hot. Challenging, scary at times, exhilarating always. I lived out of a backpack. I had three dresses, one pair of boots, a sweater, socks and leggings. And for food: tuna, cans of sardines, boxes of granola bars and bags of…
