Oven Risotto with Tuscan Kale Pesto

Spring doesn’t last long here in Austin—whether the days are brisk or balmy, we all rush out on Saturday mornings to soak up as much as we can before things start heating up. We’re richly rewarded for getting up early too-market stalls are flush with tender, delectable spring greens, lettuces, sweet crunchy carrots, and the […]

Broiled Teriyaki Salmon

Maybe it’s because this preggers girl is having sushi withdrawals, but lately, I’ve been craving lots of light, healthy fish dishes with spicy Asian flavors. Inspired by the teriyaki-glazed salmon I’ve ordered at more than one great restaurant, I set out to recreate my own version in a dinner party-worthy entrée that’s easy to prep at home […]

Farm Eggs with Braised Greens & Tomato

There’s a certain liberating freedom that comes from cooking what the season offers. I love strolling the market on a Saturday morning, buying what looks beautiful, and deciding what to cook later. No more exhaustive weekly menus and cross-referenced shopping lists—instead I rely on a community of farmers and a well-stocked pantry. With one bunch of greens […]

My Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes

Guess what? I finally have a slow-cooker in my life! Apparently I dropped enough hints, because my mom and my mother-in-law each got us this beauty for Christmas (yes, we returned one), and my favorite hobby of the new year has been testing out recipes that I can throw in the cooker in the morning… then reap the […]

Linguine with Kale & Caramelized Onions

For some, it’s online shopping, for others, it’s their boxed set of Lost DVD’s… I, personally, get more than a tiny bit obsessive about new cookbooks (seriously, it’s a problem.) Over the holidays, I literally couldn’t stop reading At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen, the new vegetarian cookbook by chef Amy Chaplin. The mouthwatering photos, nourishing and simple […]

From Camille’s Kitchen :: Brown Butter Pumpkin Pasta

As much as I love experimenting with new recipes and innovative flavors, there’s something about the winter months that just calls for the comforting foods and familiar flavors that I associate with the holidays. Think about how you feel when you come in from the cold and are handed a steaming mug of spicy cider, or bite […]

Pumpkin Spice Tacos

The fervor with which people rush to Starbucks to have their first Pumpkin Spice Latté of the season has become almost cliché; this year our neighborhood store launched it earlier than ever, and I observed customers actually sweating in the still-90 degree heat while they savored their first spicy sips. Even to a non-flavored coffee gal like […]

Summer Cooking Party with Athena & Eden

There’s nothing I love more than inviting a girl friend to come hang out in my kitchen: cooking together, comparing recipe notes, opening a bottle of wine and inevitably sharing lots of laughs. Two of my favorite foodie gals recently got together and did all of the above, and blogger-designer Athena Calderone was sweet enough […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Turkey Koftas with Zucchini Ribbons & Chimichurri

Over the weekend, we had a few friends over to jump in the pool and fire up the barbecue, and all of a sudden I remembered why May is my favorite month of the year. There’s something so thrilling about an entire summer stretching ahead, with Memorial Day cookouts and lazy days by the pool […]
