Sunrise Beach
As if in the blink of an eye, the past seven weeks literally flew by, and my time in Florida has come to an end. To celebrate our last night here, we went to see sunrise on the beach, and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The fiery sun, the cotton candy…

Triple Berry Pie
When it comes to quintessential summer desserts, my mind immediately jumps to pie. Full of fresh, seasonal fruit that turns deliciously soft and juicy, encased by a flaky, buttery pie-crust, what better way is there to end a barbecue? Or a picnic? None! So we make pie. We make it sweet and simple, with hints…

Blueberry Scones
July is national blueberry month, so I’m celebrating accordingly, with this incredible scone recipe. Blueberries are one fruit that I almost always prefer to eat fresh. I love their bright, juicy tartness, and somehow, they don’t always seem to retain that fresh flavor when baked. But this scone is different. Rather than being lost in…

Unwritten
Every once in a while, I take a break from photographing and documenting every step of a recipe and simply make whatever I’m in the mood of (sans photos), whether it’s a twist on a classic dish, a variation of a popular recipe, or a compilation of a few things I think would taste good…

Northern Lights
Just last week, I spent a week in the north at a lovely beach-side hotel. We’d get up early in the mornings, enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast with everything from regional cheeses and shakshuka to the butteriest brioche rolls and then head out to visit multiple stops on our itinerary. We did everything from walking…
