Cranberry Pear Crumble Pie
“Close your eyes. Let go of any tensions you’re holding on to. Breathe through the spaces. Relax.” I am laying in yoga class, still upon a thin rubber mat and inhaling deeply after an hour that has stretched and filled me. There is total silence in the room, besides for the faint, other-worldy lilt of flute music. The […]

Apple Slab Pie
When it comes to pie, I’ve always been more of a filling girl. Sure, I love the contrast between a crisp, shattering crust and a soft, fruity filling. But if I had to choose between them, I’d definitely choose the filling. Hands down. Unfortunately, my family doesn’t agree with me on this point. They’re crust […]

Six Impossible Things
Here we are! At the crossroads of summer and fall. There is, despite the sadness I feel as I see summer go, something beautiful about this seamless changing of seasons. The days are hot but the nights are cool. Peaches and tomatoes are as abundant as ever, but local apples have taken up residence in […]

Blackberry & Blueberry Cornmeal Crumble Pie
What is magic? Depending on the day, my answer varies. Sometimes, when the kitchen smells like a patisserie and my hands are covered in flour, I will say that magic is watching 1,000 layers of a croissant expand. Sometimes, if I have just seen a tar-black black sky explode into color, I will tell you […]

Six Impossible Things
Whew! This July has been kind of crazy. I need some sleep! My photography course at FIT demanded that I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to catch a train to NYC and once my half-day class was over, I usually spent the rest of the day traipsing (or maybe trudging? definitely […]

Sour Cherry Pie
Late night pie happens like this: come home from the cherry orchard as the sun begins its slow descent. Wonder, how will we eat six pounds of cherries? Think: pie! Proceed to look for a cherry pitter, come up with fingers. Settle for a piping tip. Painstakingly pit and stem three pounds of cherries. Turn […]

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 […]

Key Lime Pie Pops
It’s almost Shavuos! Shavuos, with cheesecake, flowers, more cheese-things and lazy days. Also, Shavuos with heat. So. Much. Heat! Although Shavuos is one of my favorite holidays, the weather doesn’t usually cooperate. And by that I mean: it’s unbearably, record-bustingly hot. It’s almost as if the entire month is filled with tauntingly gorgeous weather, and then […]

Six Impossible Things
My birthday was two weeks ago, but between Purim, busy family events, and other celebrations, I’ve hardly had time to think about it. The actual day of my birthday was nice and calm: my mom and I went out for sushi and manicures, and a couple of days later, my friends and I went out […]

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
By now, you probably already know how much I love pie. In fact, March 14 is one of my favorite days of the year; every year, my friends and I bake a glorious selection of pies and have a feast that’s exclusively comprised of sugary, buttery, dessert. Yeah, we know how to party. For this […]
