• Raspberry Rhubarb Galette

  I held the pink stalks in my hands, wondering what to do with them. Should I make another jam? Roast them with honey? Use them to top a cake, maybe one with ricotta, frangipane? Possibilities stretched endless and I, wary of condemning the fruit to a trite, strawberried fate, dawdled. The rhubarb stalks, the ones…

• Rhubarb, Cinnamon & Lavender Breakfast Puffs

  I have to tell you something about rhubarb: it is my favorite. So much so that I planted rhubarb last spring, so much so that I even buy frozen rhubarb during the winter, so much so that when spring comes, and the stalks are pink, gleaming, I put it in everything.  Even in breakfast puffs. Breakfast…

• Honeyed Asparagus, Beet & Chevre Crostini

  For one hot minute, I thought spring wasn’t going to come. I envisioned endless winter nights, sunglasses that would never see the light of day, too many oranges, and a devastating dearth of peaches. I doubted spring, and I wanted to cry. But then something magical happened: hope appeared, first in the guise of a…

• Blackened Salmon with Parsley Powder and Purple Cabbage Slaw

  My love of baking is well documented on this blog, as nearly every single recipe I post is dessert. But slowly (thanks to many Top Chef episodes watched with my mom) my appreciation for cooking is blossoming too, and I’ve begun to enjoy the process as much as I enjoy baking. One of the things that…

• {Gluten Free} Triple Chocolate Almond Biscotti + An Anecdote

  

  “Let’s bake!” I tell my little sister and she runs right up, beaming. It’s not often that I invite her to work with me; I prefer to bake in solitude, keeping the messes small and the techniques flawless. But today, I want to spend time with her. I will not care about any spilled milk,…

• Classic Chocolate Mousse

   My memories of Passover desserts involve dry cakes, crumbly ladyfingers and ubiquitous boxes of macaroons- the chewy, coconut type, not the trendy french ones. As a kid, I kind of dreaded the whole holiday and by the end of the eight days, I was usually desperate for some sort of gluten. But as I got…

• 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…

• Egg and Vegetable Breakfast Wrap

  Breakfast is a meal that most people tend to skip, or at the very least, skimp on, downing a quick bowl of sugary cereal or a steaming mug of coffee on the go. And while I get that mornings are busy, and that there’s not exactly time to assemble the sort of glorious brunch spread…

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cake

  It’s my birthday!!!! Well, almost. My birthday’s in 2 days. But it’s my Mama’s birthday! In my book, (and in anyone’s book, if they’re normal) 2 birthdays in a week calls for cake. Beautiful, decadent cake. For her birthday, I wanted to make a cake that would be sweet, crunchy, chocolate-y, and impressive. I knew I’d make…

• Double Chocolate Donuts with Raspberry Glaze & Pomegranate Salt

  Do you know what the sweetest type of food is? Food that’s made with love. When every ingredient is saturated with wholesomeness, when every step is done with care- brown the butter, crystalize the sugar, sear until crispy- that’s when food tastes good. Sometimes I lose sight of that objective. It becomes about perfection, and while…
