Tuesday Tastings :: Build-Your-Own Tartines

There’s this adorable French bistro in Austin called Blue Dahlia, and I love to meet friends there for a late lunch or a glass of wine to sample a couple of their tartines. Since this month is all about getting outside and soaking up the spring sunshine, we’ve had picnics on the brain: which foods […]

How to Have a Spring Picnic in Style

When you ask the creative team behind Jeffrey’s, one of Austin’s finest and most stylish dining establishments to share their ideas for the makings of the perfect spring picnic, don’t expect anything ordinary. Think martini bar cart service…from a red Radio Flyer wagon or melt-in-your mouth raspberry macarons filled with strawberry jam and rose water […]

The Super Foodie :: Blackberry Mango Fruit Leather

I had a childhood obsession with fruit leather…it was my favorite snack ever! And when I say fruit leather I mean fruit roll ups, the content of which I don’t even like to think about. So recently, I made my own mango and blackberry goodness. They taste even better than the fruit leather of my childhood, […]

Morning Meals :: Spring Potato & Egg Bake

I love a one-pot meal for dinner, but I love ’em even more for breakfast. This spring skillet bake is heartier than a standard “hash” and isn’t just a breakfast side…it’s the main event! Not only does it feed up to four guests, but you can serve it oven-to-table without re-plating or fussing over servewear. […]

Bottoms Up :: Sunshine Smoothie

Last week, I returned from the ultimate getaway to Cabo San Lucas with girlfriends and sunshine galore. And let’s be real: I’m still in denial that reality has recommenced. Back in the Camille Styles office, I’m  attempting to infuse vacation (or staycation) mode into the air with this fruity sip that takes me back to […]

Tuesday Tastings: Curried Cauliflower & Chickpeas

My friend Anne and I spent an inordinate amount of time discussing our love for it… my friend Kim and I both brought it to the same book club potluck (how embarrassing! It all got eaten though.) It’s not often that the humble cauliflower could be considered “buzz-worthy,” but it seems that the roasted cauliflower & […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Hazelnut & Raspberry Éclairs

I’ll never forget my first trip to Paris. I was eighteen, and my mom and I celebrated my high school graduation with a dream trip where we meandered through Claude Monet’s waterlilies, strolled along the Seine, gazed at Picassos, and of course, sampled as much French food as one could possibly taste in the span […]

Entertaining With :: The New Potato

If you’re looking for in depth glimpses into the food adventures and habits of global tastemakers, look no further than The New Potato. Founded by sisters Danielle and Laura Kosann, the site is our go-to destination for daily lifestyle inspiration, so you can imagine our excitement when the talented twosome agreed to share their entertaining style […]

Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts with Chef Callie

Since we’re devoting the month of March to loving our hometowns, we thought it would be fun to invite a couple of the local chefs we love to stop by our studio kitchen and school us on one amazing dish that represents Austin. First up? Callie Speer, pastry chef extraordinaire at Swift’s Attic and fun, sexy […]

Bottoms Up :: Tepache Cocktail from Qui

For a month devoted to hometown love, what could be more worthwhile than sussing out the recipe behind the cocktail recently crowned the “official drink of Austin“? Every year, our city’s best mixologists go head-to-head in a fierce battle behind the bar, and only one comes out on top. We asked our friends at Qui […]

10 Best Cocktails in Austin

The business of food…and cocktails in Austin has become just as serious as the music scene we have long been known for. The city has much more to offer than tasty tacos and a couple of Lonestars (although those will always have a reverent place in the Live Music Capital). We have assembled a guide […]

The Super Foodie :: Napa Cabbage Wraps

I’m obsessed with these cabbage wraps not only because I think they’re so beautiful, but because they’re incredibly tasty and satisfying. I attribute that in large part to the peanut dipping sauce which is salty, packed with flavor and such a treat. They’re delicious…that’s really what you need to know! In addition to being wildly […]
