• 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

  Today we went swimming. It doesn’t feel like summer until you go swimming. There is something about that first plunge, that first joyous leap into the pool, that cements it: summer is here. It is here to stay. Another thing that cements summer into place? Berries. In all their various forms: the tartest raspberries, sweet […]

• 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 […]

• Raspberry Rhubarb Galette

  I held the pink stalks in my hands, wondering what to do with them. Should I make another jam? Roast them with honey? Use them to top a cake, maybe one with ricotta, frangipane? Possibilities stretched endless and I, wary of condemning the fruit to a trite, strawberried fate, dawdled. The rhubarb stalks, the ones […]

• 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 […]

• Sour Cream Poundcake with Grilled Peaches

  Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, but I’m careful when buying them, as they’re fickle. As disappointing experience has taught me, when you buy them in the winter, or even early spring, they’re a ghost of what they can be; lackluster in both flavor and color. But come summer, and all their beautiful potential […]

• 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 […]
