The tiles in the restaurant gave me a sentimental feeling. My mind went back to coming home after a long day of classes and eating a snack that was kept warm on the stove top for me. Such comfort from the start at this small, Mexican food hub, which sits on a corner inNYC’s upper…
I am thrilled to announce that The Garnished Palate is now sponsored by Harney & Sons Master Tea Blenders, which means I am on a monthly mission to deliver stories on all things Tea. I have spent days mulling over the idea of what I can do for my first Tea Time post. The…
It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s a good one. The sentimental feeling of driving miles up the curvy mountains of Pontremoli, Tuscany to a village the size of a small street where your grandmother once grew up, was invaluable. It was like I set out on a mission to find the past for the present….
I can’t really explain the timing of this journey. Some students who travel abroad would say that it seemed like ages since they last slept in their beds at home, some would say it has not been long enough and they don’t want to touch American soil anytime soon. As for me, I am having…

First things first about Margaritas… I know they are made with squeezed lime, tequila, and simple syrup, but there could be other exceptions too right? Like when you see vibrant yellow Meyer lemons at the store that yell out summertime. And yesterday sure did feel like summer while the sun was blazing down on me as…
Cinco de Mayo is over, but I am still thinking about these sweet breads. Concha is a sweet bread with a dry cookie- like crust and Rebanadas- meaning sliced- are another type of Pan Dulce with icing slapped on the top. Mexico has always been known for their corn made products like corn tortillas, but…
I have been yearning to write for the last few days, but can’t seem to find the moment to slip away to my thoughts, quietly. While adventure takes place during my week of work and the wheels in my head are spinning too fast after the days end, it’s hard to step back and notice…
