Orange Blossom Quince Tarte Tatin
a lesson from quince and all the other ugly fruit (the ones we skip in favor of dusty concords and burning apricots and the plums with verdant green interiors) a lesson to never judge a book by its cover- a fruit by its peel-? both. and, i never do- judge books by their cover. in…

Chocolate and Honey Fig Cake
My grandparents have a fig tree near their garden in Switzerland. It is large, impassive to the treasures it holds, entrancing. Its leaves, elegant and waving green, shade little purple parcels of fig. It takes a measure of patience to watch the fruit ripen. When it does, it is perfect: floral, woodsy, dusk-colored and heady.…

Pavlovas with Lemon Curd & Citrus
The past few weeks, my creativity, something I’d never given much thought to, demanded attention. Truthfully, it didn’t demand attention so much as seemingly vanish from existence: why couldn’t I think of a single thing to bake? Why did none of my attempts at writing result in anything other than a blank page? How come any painting…

I created this simple, pretty upside down cake for The Nosher, and it’s perfect for February: made with seasonal blood oranges, sweet, floral saffron and nutty semolina flour which gives it a moist, hefty crumb and makes it perfect for a cup of tea. You can learn more about saffron, see how I utilize blood…
