French toast typically isn’t my jam, but I’ll occasionally make it for my people at home. I love a crispy Belgium waffle most, followed by a butter-slathered pancake short stack with the “fake” stuff/ syrup, as I say. I’m making a few rules for myself on this French toast state of mind, and I’ll be…
It’s full-on chocolate “everything” season, and I love a good flourless chocolate cake. They’re easy to dress up or down, making it impressive for you or someone else. I’m also so intrigued by tahini- I could live on it- so I incorporated it into this for a result that’s pretty lovely. Recipe Here
Recipe Scallion pancake egg wrap/ roll-up with Chinese sausage, cheddar cheese, and that GOAT chili oil I won’t stop promoting— makes my tummy happy. I wish I could say these were homemade scallion pancakes although Chimei has me beat. They come frozen & raw so you get to pretend like you’re cooking them in…
I always wondered if I should have gone to culinary school for baking and pastry? In hindsight, I think I’m slightly jealous of those who get to make pretty chocolate bonbons and decorate cakes with pink buttercream flowers. The pastry wing at the CIA is totally separate from the culinary kids and I always felt…
One day we will drink together, communally sharing the warm feeling of hot coffee, grappa, and cinnamon in our tummies. LA GROLLA DELL’AMICIZIA is this wooden carafe from Valle d’Aosta that stays true to its meaning of commensality. Its purpose is for all Italian friends or family to pass around and drink from, each from…
It’s quite simple if you think about it, that tea is this gorgeous, perfume like, colorful substance that you add to water and miraculously it has a way to heal, entertain, warm, and form relationships. In my home growing up we always had pouches of tea and nothing more. It was then how I viewed…
And it’s Autumn! I waited to post this later in the month although I was eager to do it sooner, but I had to wait for fall to show itself even (just a little). According to the calendar it’s fall, but it barely feels like it. There were days during the summer that felt more…

It’s been going on for years, and the NY Times has made it’s claims about it too. Food stylists have culminated an entire library all over the web of outlandish, vibrant, vintage recipes reminiscing Betty Crocker. The authenticity of what looks like something from a glamorized Dr. Suess cartoon is actually a real scene. I…
Sometimes food can be really strange. Evoke emotions through patterns & edges, colors &aromas. It’s truly an art form more times than not. And even though we grow up being told to “stop playing with our food” we continue to do so anyways… like this. Hunger doesn’t strike while looking at these photos. The peculiar…
