I’m a huge fan of yogurt in desserts. Whether I’m treating myself of a bowl of froyo (always tart), indulging in no-bake cheesecake, or experimenting with panna cotta, I can always count on greek yogurt to add its signature tang and creaminess to my favorite desserts while keeping guilt to a minimum. In honor of […]
Recently I listened to the most inspiring podcast interview with Elle Macpherson in which she shared her approach to wellness and how she stays as beautiful as ever by taking care of both her physical and mental health. Ever since, I’ve been dying to get my hands on her Super Elixir Alkalising Greens, so I was thrilled when […]
I was inspired to create today’s recipe, thanks to a run-in with some especially lackluster pie dough. Actually, several lackluster pies, filled with some of the tastiest, freshest fillings I’ve ever had, but surrounded by under-baked, flavorless, dry crust. The worst, right?! As I indulged in a slice of one of these said pies (we’ll leave […]

These flourless pistachio cakes are proof that not all gluten-free baking has to be complicated. Even as an avid baker with a healthy knowledge of baking ratios and substitutions, I often find gluten-free recipes to be intimidating, requiring expensive specialty ingredients that yield inconsistent results. To those of you who have tackled gluten-free baking head-on […]
With spring just around the corner, this girl is saying sayonara to sweaters and hello to sandals! Along with the wardrobe change, I’ve been welcoming the lighter, more refreshing foods that are synonymous with this time of year. I know what you’re thinking: donuts probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind when you hear the word […]
SOS. Quick! Send plane tickets and weekender bag, all I can think about is escaping on vacation. Every year, when I’ve recovered from the aftermath of the holidays and the weather begins to warm up (yes, that happens in February down here in Austin), I find myself daydreaming more than usual; my thoughts drifting towards […]
I’ll never forget my first crêpe: it was sophomore year, and my high school French teacher, Ms. Baysinger, brought a burner to class and taught us how to make the the classic version that we stuffed full of nutella and whipped cream. I remember feeling so sophisticated as I swirled the batter in the pan, yielding […]
We’re fine with forgoing many of the Valentine’s clichés, but the one tradition that never goes out of style is indulging in a chocolate-covered strawberry (or 5) every season. There’s just something about the sweet and decadent combination of fresh strawberries and rich chocolate that sparks a little romance, plus, fruit is healthy, right? Since many store-bought […]
Biscotti are one of those special weekend treats that I don’t eat nearly as often as I’d like. There’s something about a morning “biscuit” with a coffee or a latte that feels so much more luxurious than a bowl of oatmeal. These biscotti are perfectly nutty with just the right amount of crunch. Not to mention, […]
Let’s just say that my first attempt at meringues was less-than-perfect (blaming it on Camille’s malfunctioning oven.) The bright side? Apart from making s’mores by sandwiching our burnt meringues between graham crackers, it also allowed me more opportunity to practice getting these just perfect. Turns out, consistency and oven temperature are key ingredients for these to look as good as […]
For many, the words “Valentine’s Day” bring to mind visions of cheesy cards, stuffed animals and boxed chocolates. Bleh. Around the Camille Styles office, we’re in favor of ditching the clichés… but the chocolate can stay. The chocolate can always stay. This Valentine’s Day, we’re taking it to the next level with decadent homemade recipes that are sure to […]
After weeks of cookies, cocktails and indulging without abandon, I decided that January 2017 needed to be a month without refined sugars. A brave move for a baker (read: sugar addict), I know, but when moderation no longer holds meaning, work has to be done. I’ve spent the last four weeks rediscovering my love for […]

Ashleigh is an editorial photographer based in Austin who shoots lots of the food you’ve seen here on the site, and whose own Instagram account we’re completely addicted to thanks to her sophisticated and moody food […]
Cookie decorating has always been one of my favorite holiday traditions. When I was a kid, my mom would throw Christmas cookie decorating parties every December. In the center of the table she would pile mounds of homemade sugar and gingerbread dough, and my friends and I would spend hours making cookies in all shapes […]
Let me start by saying that ice cream and iced coffee are two of my favorite things on the planet. So winter’s arrival always leaves me in a bit of a predicament: do I abandon icy treats until warmer temps arrive? It just doesn’t seem right. I know, I know, there’s nothing quite like strolling down the sidewalk during the […]
If you asked Instagram, 2016 could have been the year of the cheese board. And is it any surprise? Few culinary creations are as photogenic as a big wood cutting board brimming with colorful cheeses, fruits, meats (and lots more if you get creative), and I’ve got to admit, it’s a trend I don’t think I’ll get […]
If we’re being honest, this dessert is really more like a diorama than it is a fully developed recipe, but rest assured it is not lacking in flavor. I’ve been having a blast playing around with baking chocolate this holiday season (remember these salty chocolate-covered pretzels?), and recently, when we sat down to brainstorm how we could […]

It is perfect to serve this time of year. You can serve this cake sliced, or cut the loaf in half and create small squares for little snack […]
There’s nothing more healing than holiday baking. My favorite time of year is when the weather starts to drop and the Christmas lights come up, and everything about this cranberry ginger oat crumble puts me in the holiday spirit. It can easily be served for breakfast or dessert, and feel free to experiment with any fruit […]
