Apple Walnut Cake
Since Rosh Hashana’s tomorrow night I’m sharing a recipe for Apple Walnut Cake, which perfectly suits the holiday. Rosh Hashana is when we celebrate the Jewish New Year and we have the custom of symbolically dipping an apple into honey for a sweet new year. It’s one of the things I look forward to every…

Spiced Pumpkin Scones
Scones, as you might well know by now, are my favorite breakfast pastry, and with good reason. Stuffed with fruit, crumbly or moist, and frosted or spiced, they can be made to fit any occasion, whether a fancy brunch or a mid-morning treat, While it isn’t really Fall yet, I made these pumpkin scones to…

Tomato, Nectarine and Corn Salad
Summer is the season for salad, and what could be more fitting than a salad composed of all of the season’s freshest produce? Here, I started with spinach as the base, for some green goodness that has a little more flavor than your average salad greens. Then, I roasted corn over a fire, which gave…

Stone Fruit Galette
The best thing about late summer, besides for the slowly cooling nights and star-filled skies, is the stone fruit. The apricots, the peaches, the plums. They become softer, and more full of nectar, and sweetness. These fruits work well in almost any scenario, but in the urgent rush to consume them before they’re gone, I…

But come summer, and all their beautiful potential…

When it comes to quintessential summer desserts, my mind immediately jumps to pie. Full of fresh, seasonal fruit that turns deliciously soft and juicy, encased by a flaky, buttery pie-crust, what better way is there to end a barbecue? Or a picnic? None! So we make pie. We make it sweet and simple, with hints…

Blueberry Scones
July is national blueberry month, so I’m celebrating accordingly, with this incredible scone recipe. Blueberries are one fruit that I almost always prefer to eat fresh. I love their bright, juicy tartness, and somehow, they don’t always seem to retain that fresh flavor when baked. But this scone is different. Rather than being lost in…

No Knead Artisan Bread
There is something about baking bread that is addictive. Maybe it’s the way that a rough hodgepodge of flour and water becomes a smooth, elastic ball of dough. Maybe it’s the vigorous kneading, the anticipation of watching the dough double and triple in size as a result. Or maybe it’s knowing that you’ve created one…

Strawberry Yogurt Bowls with Homemade Granola
Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. It’s quick, filling, and requires no coordination when you’re running late and need to leave the house. Most mornings, I’ll usually just grab a Greek yogurt and toss in some packaged granola. But one weekend, with more time to spare and room for a little…
