*photos by Ashleigh Amoroso The other day, I picked up a pint of strawberries at the grocery store, fully anticipating the bland, lackluster berries I’ve had to settle for all winter long. I brought them home, gave them a rinse, and was shocked to take a bite into a sweet-as-candy strawberry that made me realize: […]
My friend Walter makes the best bread I’ve ever tasted. He grows the yeast, mills the flour, and combines it all with salt and water to create a slow-fermented sourdough that truly doesn’t belong in the same category as the pre-sliced quick breads found in grocery stores. A loaf doesn’t last longer than a day […]
I hope that y’all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed plenty of time relaxing with family and friends and digging into leftover pie for breakfast (a once-a-year indulgence that is 100% worth it.) But if you’re ready to dip your toes back into real-life and hit the diet reset button after the holidays, this beet, avocado, […]

Ever since I got my hands on the beautiful new cookbook by my friend Athena Calderone, founder of lifestyle site EyeSwoon, it’s […]
I can’t take full credit for this recipe — it was inspired by an amazing dish I tried at a neighborhood café here in Austin called Epicerie. But I can say that I’ve devised an interpretation of the restaurant’s salad that truly couldn’t be easier. Got a knife? How about an oven? Great. That’s just about […]
Living in Austin, I eat a ridiculous amount of Mexican food. Fajitas, guacamole, and margaritas (obvi) are on rotation around here, but one signature south-of-the-border dish I never really got into was pozole, a thick stew made with hominy, shredded pork, chiles, and lots of toppings. All that changed on last month’s trip to Charleston […]
