10 Best Cherry Desserts

Today’s 10 Best is dedicated to my mom, the world’s biggest cherry lover. Every year for as long as I can remember, the moment that cherries hit peak-of-season, she heads to the grocery and picks up a big bag which she “accidentally” devours on the car ride home.  As wonderful as they are eaten fresh out […]

Morning Meals :: Heirloom Summer Herb Frittata

I recently realized how much I absolutely love frittatas. Not the tasteless and chewy ones from your average brunch buffet…I’m talking the homemade kind. Anytime I’m entertaining for breakfast, the frittata is my go to. It’s similar to the age-old “everything but the kitchen sink” soup or salad. The possibilities here are endless and best when […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Roasted Potato Salad with Fennel, Tomatoes & Asparagus

Planning our Fourth of July menu last weekend got me thinking about the dearth of really good, fresh, non-heavy potato salad recipes out there. I mean, I’m all for classic American BBQ staples (bring on the fully-loaded hot dogs!), but does anyone really love those mayonnaise-laden potato salads that become soggy (and actually a little scary) […]

Affogato with Olive Oil Ice Cream & Rosemary Biscotti

Happy Fourth of July! We recently joined Annette Joseph at her home in Atlanta for a fabulous pool party, and of course the menu was to die for — Grilled Caesar Salad, Pasta Frutti di Mare, and the most amazing Affogato you’ve ever had. It’s the perfect poolside treat that you could prepare on this patriotic weekend. […]

Breakfast Tacos

I grew up in Southern California which means Mexican food is as prominent in my house as chicken and rice. Almost any meal deserves red pepper flakes or hot sauce, and breakfast is no exception. Breakfast tacos and burritos were a huge part of my family’s breakfast menu. It also happens to be a seriously […]

What’s On Hand :: Courtney McBroom

Foodie Courtney McBroom isn’t afraid to pour herself a glass of wine, throw on a record, grab a big old Japanese kitchen knife and start chopping. This is especially amazing because most people don’t even own a Japanese kitchen knife, much less possess the confidence to wield one after a glass of rosé. But Courtney […]

At the Table :: Go Indigo

EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s a fun day on the blog today: we are debuting not one, but two brand new series! When I first met Callie Jenschke, the dynamic Texan who recently moved back to Austin from NYC, I knew a creative collaboration was destined to happen. She worked for the likes of Metropolitan Home, Lonny, […]

Annette learned from the best: after working alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, living alongside her best Italian girlfriends and […]

Three Simple Summer Recipes

When it comes to eating al fresco during the dog days of summer, you have to be careful — the dishes have to be refreshing enough to not weigh you down, served cold or at room temperature to offset the blazing heat, and casual enough to match the laid-back, barefoot vibe. So when we heard […]

Morning Meals :: Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Crisps

This breakfast is somewhere between a healthy morning meal and a delicious indulgence.  It’s the perfect warm weather brunch idea, individually baked for your guests.  Breakfast crisps are perfectly sweet without giving you the sugar hangover of most pastries.  It’s best served with strong coffee and a dollop of whipped creme if you’re feeling fancy.

Bottoms Up :: The Kombucha Cocktail

Some of us never forget our first experience with Kombucha. I remember staring blankly at those bouncy clusters of (extremely foreign) floaters, wondering why my mom insisted that I gulp down the alien drink. Fast forward a couple years and many tangy sips later, this trendy, fermented drink has got me hooked. Whether it’s that […]

Summer Grilling Party

We fully embraced Cambria Wine‘s entertaining philosophy when planning this summer steak dinner — our gatherings are comfortable and not fussy. They really require little more than friends, food, and wine. With those three key tenants in mind we converged at a glorious two acre estate just west of downtown Austin for a garden dinner under […]
