Mango Curd and Rice Pudding Parfaits
If there’s one thing y’all should know about me, it’s that I don’t consider myself a baker. I don’t have the patience to test five different versions of a potential recipe and experiment with how leavening agents affect a baked good. It’s not entirely my fault, I didn’t grow up in a household where baked […]
Indian Spiced Naan Pizzas
If it’s not obvious based on the recipes that I share here on Global Kitchen, I’m not super traditional when it comes to my Indian food. I grew up eating super traditional dishes that my mom and dad cooked, but now that I’m learning how to make all of their recipes on my own, I’m […]
Turmeric Roasted Kabocha Squash Salad
If there’s one time of year where I, along with most other people, am overcome with the idea of “tradition,” it’s the holidays. I never stray from the classics at Thanksgiving dinner, sticking to buttery mashed potatoes with a side of green bean casserole and a perfectly rich pumpkin pie topped off with a dollop […]
Pumpkin Channa Masala
We’re deep into pumpkin season and I think we can all admit that as cliché as the flavor can be this time of year, we still love it. There’s just something so perfect about opening up a can of that bright orange fruit to bake up a good ‘ole pumpkin pie, cake, or bread that makes […]
Salad-Topped Socca Flatbread
This may not be a very popular opinion – but I haven’t been into recipes lately. With summer coming to an end, the calendar has filled up and my to-do list has nearly doubled in length, meaning the amount of time that I have to commit to making and trying fun recipes has been almost […]
Quinoa Breakfast Bowl With Saffron-Poached Peaches
This might come as a shock, but I loathe oatmeal. I know, I know: it’s staple breakfast and a great way to get some whole grains into your diet, but there’s just something about the goopy texture and flavor that I can’t get over. I’ve even given overnight oats a try and still no success in jumping on […]
Minty Green Kombucha Smash Mocktail
*ed. note: Today we’re thrilled to welcome our much-loved former intern and current blogger over at This Brown Kitchen, Suruchi Avasthi, to share the ridiculously delish green drink she whipped up for our Month of Mocktails series. Take it away, S! How are your New Year resolutions going? Like many of you, one of my […]
These Cocktails are as Good as Going on Vacation
I’m all for a tropical getaway, but with the longest to-do list I’ve ever had and a major move on the horizon, my dream vacation is going to have to wait awhile. Until then, I’m living vicariously through friends’ vacation selfies while sipping on one of these tropical cocktails…because nothing screams “vacation” better than a salt-rimmed glass or […]
Kale and Cannellini Bean Crostini
I don’t know about you, but I’m an appetizer gal. Ordering appetizers at a restaurant isn’t an option, it’s mandatory, and having some kind of crudités or cheese plate out at a party is a must. Call it an excuse to bring out my favorite serving trays or just another way to sample as many tasty bites […]

7 Things Holding You Back from Your Happiest Self
When the final assignment in a class is to have groups of students perform random acts of kindness, you know there’s something special going on. Dr. Raj Raghunathan is a marketing professor at The University of Texas at Austin where he has spent much of his time researching the topic of happiness. While many business classes […]
DIY Citrus Wreath
There’s always a steady stream of books arriving at the office for review, and I’m definitely not complaining. Occasionally, one really stands out from the rest, like Ariella Chezar’s new book The Flower Workshop that arrived on our doorstep a couple weeks ago. We asked Ariella to stop by with the details on what turned out to be our favorite project […]
10 Best Colorful Bathrooms
When imagining my dream home, the bathroom is the spot that’s often hardest to pin down: would I choose a spa-like minimalist look or go with some bold color scheme that makes a statement? After spending a few hours down the Pinterest rabbit hole (research!), I realized that incorporating color into a room doesn’t have to be over the top […]

When our brilliant friends from Margot Blair Floral and Mint & Maple joined forces to host a workshop on the Art of Hosting, we begged them to share their secrets here on the blog, too — these are the pros, y’all. Even the best of us can get stressed at the thought of hosting a dinner party, so any inspiration for making […]

Bridal Shower Brunch Menu
Spring is upon us and just in time for the arrival of tulips and daffodils comes the season of bridal showers, baby showers, and all kinds of other girly get-togethers. Since it’s a busy time of year, we’re believers in throwing a special soirée that’s also stress-free and keeps the focus on coming together to celebrate the […]
10 Best Healthy Muffin Recipes
Blame it on AM puffy eyes, trying to squeeze too many activities into my morning routine, or pushing the limits of my snooze button, but making a healthy breakfast isn’t usually high on my list of priorities in the morning. In the attempt to be kinder to myself (and start following years of my mom’s advice) I’ve started […]

How to Make Macarons at Elizabeth Street Cafe
Anytime out-of-town friends come to Austin, one of the first places I take them is Elizabeth Street Cafe. I know I can’t go wrong with what is arguably the cutest café in town (I mean, have you seen the bright pink and turquoise exterior?!) and treating them to the fresh mango and cucumber salad or a warm bowl of bún accompanied […]
