I am always scouting that dream kitchen. When I say scouting, I mean window shopping or, more like, Instagram scrolling. It’s a thing I do on a regular; I see a gorgeous kitchen on my feed, and ‘”click” it goes to my saved section. At the moment, I’m not in a position to build a dream kitchen,…
I love picking from my parents garden. Maybe I should learn to grow my own things. Also, overgrown fennel fronds will always make it into my salads. Salad for lunch? Get me a sandwich please! Anything but salad. So because I dislike them it takes a good one to get me excited. Creamy dressed salads…
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…
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 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…

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…

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!! Pasta is always the best alternative to anything. “Is she kidding??! I want my corn beef and cabbage” -you say! And yes! You should have had a delicious Reuben Sammie today with melted Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. I did!!! And while you nosh on leftover corned beed dipped in mustard you…
This Monday’s Mood… If only we could fast forward to Thursday and then hit the slow-mo button. Thanksgiving may have some missing variables this 2020 but it won’t stop the spread of food that lay before us. And we could all use some holiday TLC. I love sifting through Pinterest or my Instagram feed to…
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…
I share European-inspired recipes, collabs, adventures, pop-ups, and more! Plus, don't miss out on Sunday Night Pasta Programming for all the cozy dinner feels.
