Strawberry Rosé Pops
What is up with this New York heat?! These past few days have been the kind of weather that makes me want to wear as little clothing as possible and also do as little as possible. I just want to live in an ice cold swimming pool and maybe eat some ice cubes. OK, I…

Peach, Goat Cheese and Mint Crostini
When I worked in the bakery, I started off on the pastry station. I lasted around one month before I switched to bread. Pastry, it turned out, was awfully repetitive, much too boring for me. While I loved baking scones and weaving lattices at home, that love simply didn’t translate to large-scale baking. Bread baking,…

Snap Pea, Radish and Orchid Salad
One of the things I love about this season is how easy it is to throw together a great salad. I know, I know; you thought I’d say something about berries and pies. Well, surprise! I like vegetables too! In fact, I can’t get enough of them. Come spring, I toss peas into pasta, roast…

Labneh Mousse and Olive Oil Tart with Cardamom Figs
Hi, everyone! Here’s a recipe I wrote up for The Nosher, an awesome, Jewish/Israeli food mashup site I occasionally write for. You can get the full recipe there! For me, summer desserts have to fit a few criteria. First off: they better be worth turning on the oven for. Second: if you don’t need to…

Triple Berry Crumble Muffins
Have we talked about stress before? What about the pressure to be perfect, about feelings of inadequacy? All important things to discuss. Let’s. I’ve always been a bit of a perfectionist. When I start a project, I like to be on top of it from A-Z. If I have a vision, I like it to…

I want to start this post by thanking you all so much for your wonderful responses to the video! I’ll admit I was a teeny tiny bit apprehensive when it went up, unsure if people would like it, but thankfully my apprehensions were unfounded. I am so so happy it was well received! For everyone who asked…

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…

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…
