Herby Whipped Ricotta with Peas and Garlic Scapes
Hello! Second week of June. What a joy. May was green, strawberries, flowers, lots of cooking, long days on set. June is shaping up to be much the same. Which is completely fine with me. I don’t have too many more things to say, other than: have you been to the market lately? You should…

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…

Roasted Stone Fruit Sorbet
This was not going to be a post about sorbet. This post was going to contain cake, or a salad, or some sort of fritter with corn and summer squash. But then I had all this stone fruit. A little past prime, a little soft around the edges. And, well, suddenly I had visions 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…

Pavlovas with Lemon Curd & Citrus

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…

Chai Spiced Spelt Carrot Cake
It’s late at night when I decide to make carrot cake. The dishes are done, the counters are sparkling clean. Prime time to get messy. I could drag out the food processor, but I decide to grate the carrots by hand. Food processors have so many parts, and I can already envision orange shreds of…

Blood Orange and Saffron Semolina Upside Down Cake
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…

Salted Chocolate Tahini Tarts
Around two years ago, I went through a phase where I was seriously obsessed with tahini. I’d discovered that it was good for more than just drizzling over falafel, and for some still unfathomable reason, I deemed it necessary to put it on everything, in everything. I mixed it with honey and and yogurt. I poured it…
