Small Batch Apricot Vanilla Bean Jam
Here is how to make apricot jam when distracted: first, buy apricots from the store, loose ones rolling around the bin, almost overripe with blush-y skins and soft middles. Perfect fruit for jamming with. At home, wash and weigh them. Pause to think of how everything is heavy, but not everything can be weighed or…

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…

Triple Berry Crumble
Happy first day of Summer, everyone! I love summer for lots of reasons, but I have to admit that berries might be the first and foremost. They’re the perfect snack, I love them with yogurt and granola and when baked, they become, if possible, even tastier. I’ve used berries in almost every form: in pie, on…

Apricot Frangipane Tartlets
Mother’s day is this Sunday and I’m making a little brunch for my Mom. I am usually pretty casual when it comes to brunch; shakshuka, avocado toast and scones are some of my favorite weekend mainstays. However, I wanted to make something a little fancier for this Sunday and these tartlets fit the bill. Simple…

Lemon Glazed Blueberry Poppy Seed Cakes
Hi there! It’s been a busy week, but I’m popping in to share this quick cake recipe. Being that we’re almost at Passover (it’s next Friday night!) I thought I’d save this for after the holidays, but the truth is, it’s just too good to push off. So I hope you’ll forgive me for tempting…

Blackberry Pie with Rye Walnut Crumble
I have been seduced by the big box of blackberries at the store- seduced by their navy color and their promise of sweetness. I tell myself it is March- almost Spring, practically Summer!- and a berry party is deserved, is basically required, season be damned! The box is bought. At home, the blackberries taste of disappointment.…

Six Impossible Things
“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” – White Queen, Alice in Wonderland. Six impossibly awesome things. I can’t believe it’s already March! While my birthday month always seems to sneak up on me, this year’s been a little crazier than usual: I had jaw surgery almost two weeks ago, so its…

Blood Orange, Coconut and Vanilla Oatmeal
A thousand opening sentences preceded this one. Every time my fingers typed out a few words, I immediately deleted them. It was as if the things I wanted to write somehow got lost in the space between my mind and my hands. So I guess I’ll just write the damn thing. I’m having jaw surgery this…

Blueberry Cheese Danishes
Everyone wants to know why I’m making cheese danishes. They make comments like “Wow, so much butter!” or “These are a little more involved than brownies, aren’t they?” Yes. Yes, they are. And no, I don’t have a reason for these, other than: it’s February. It’s snowy and cold. And there’s butter in the fridge.…
