Raw Kale Caesar with Beet Microgreens & Poached Egg

Raw kale caesar salads are one thing I never tire of. They’re hearty with a great bite & brightness making them the most satisfying meal ever.  I like mine with a few hippie add-ons and poached egg for breakfast (or anytime of day). This almond caesar dressing is naturally dairy-free, but has the bold, zingy flavor that every […]

Lavender Pistachio Madeleines

Madeleines may have found their place in history thanks to Proust, but these buttery scalloped cakes are undoubtedly delicious enough to stand on their own, literary references aside. I’ve loved them for years, and can’t believe I actually had to purchase a madeleine pan to make these at home for the first time ever. The […]

Heirloom Tomato Bloody Mary

When crafting a cocktail, sometimes a slight departure from a classic is the best way to ensure you will love your (semi!) original creation. We did just that with our boozy brunch go-to (the bloody mary, of course) and broke tradition by straying from its signature shade of red. While there is something to be […]

Radish & Fennel Panzanella with Radicchio and Herbs

You might think I’ve lost it, but these days I get really excited about a loaf of stale bread. One bite of this salad, though, and you’ll get it. Crisp, peppery, bright radishes and the subtle licorice kick of fennel punch up tangy, olive oil-drenched croutons, with herbs, just-bitter-enough radicchio, and salty cheese further mixing up the […]

What’s On Hand :: Amy Chaplin

Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. This is especially true in the case of vegetarian chef, blogger and cookbook author, Amy Chaplin. As a young girl growing up in rural Australia, she enjoyed fresh vegetables straight from her family’s garden while learning the joys of cooking alongside her mother. “My Mother loved hosting large parties […]

Salted Butterscotch Pots de Crème

I have spent the last twenty-seven years of my life (so all of them) coveting any and all creamy desserts. From ice cream, to pudding, to more ice cream, I just can’t get enough. I have distinct memories of my ten-year-old self bellying up to the kitchen counter, preparing those little boxes of  instant pudding – pouring […]

Cardamom Kumquat Mini Loaf

Kumquats are the new beloved citrus at my house.  They can be eaten skin-on, whole or sliced, raw or cooked.  With their burst of zingy tartness, they provide a much-needed dose of bright flavor on these cold winter days.  Besides being hearty and delicious, these mini loaves have no dairy, gluten or grain, but I promise […]
