Labneh Basque Cheesecake with Sesame Poached Apricots
Hi! It’s been a little while. I’m back to share this cheesecake recipe with you in honor of Shavuot, which starts on Thursday evening. Shavuot might be one of my favorite holidays. Since I was young, my cousins and I have gone upstate to celebrate the Chag together. We make a beautiful menu full of…

Salted Chocolate Rye and Vanilla Bean Olive Oil Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream wars! Who else had them as a kid? Chocolate or vanilla! Strawberry or chocolate, vanilla or both?! I always chose chocolate, and I got a fair amount of flack for it. But vanilla never held a candle to chocolate for me. It was boring, tasteless and way too basic. I’m still not much…

Maybe you have had cheesecakes that cracked right down the middle, or ones that sogged from a leaky…

Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
My mom’s very favorite treat is a blueberry muffin. A big, bakery-style one, with a crispy top and filled with sweet blueberries. The problem is, bakery muffins never measure up to what they could be. At their ideal, they’d be moist, sweet, and exploding with blueberries. In reality, they are usually stale from a long…
