Happy Sunday! I’m curled up in front of the fire on this chilly morning, trying to decide whether to make pancakes or bundle up and go to my barre class. The former admittedly sounds more fun right now, but I know I’ll be really glad later if I choose the latter. Especially in preparation for the […]
If you’re in a relationship, there can be a bit of pressure on Valentine’s to get everything just right — but crowded restaurants and high prices can make the perfect date night feel unattainable. I think that one of the sweetest and most romantic gestures is a beautiful meal at home for two: nothing communicates love quite […]

As I read through Tarica Navarro’s interview answers, I’m reminded why we launched our “Entertaining With” series to begin with. Raised in Thailand (arguably one of the planet’s top culinary destinations), Tarica’s been a foodie most of her life. But it wasn’t until a fortuitous dinner in India that she realized the value of sharing in a meal with others, and also […]
*photography by Kristen Kilpatrick Between recovering from the holidays and just-trying-to-stay-warm, hosting a dinner party may not be at the top of your to-do list this time of year. But if you think about it — given the cold weather and all our friends finally being back in town — there’s actually no better time to get cozy […]
If you’re scrambling to get your act together for this week’s big holiday meal, just imagine this: what if you were hosting that meal in a remote location? And no, we’re not talking the park down the street. We’re talking another continent. That’s just what Sasha Wilkins did last week, as she planned and hosted […]
After Camille met Danielle Locklear at a friend’s baby shower a few months back, she couldn’t stop talking about her. “She’s just the nicest person I’ve ever met,” Camille gushed about the blogger behind Forage + Fodder. Danielle and her husband Austin (along with their adorable daughter, Ruby) totally live up to the hype when […]
Hey guys! I’m sure many of y’all are also in full holiday mode this weekend: trimming the tree, wrapping gifts, and jingle bell rockin’ at parties tonight. These weeks in December fly by so quickly that it feels like a challenge to squeeze in all the requisite holiday festivities before the season ends — but […]
When you get invited to a dinner party at Britt Maren and Derek Orrell’s Brooklyn apartment, there’s no need to even check your calendar: the answer is an immediate “yes.” Britt’s a successful model and passionate foodie/baker, and Derek was most recently the renowned executive chef at The Heyward, and is now in the early stages […]
Thanksgiving week is upon us, which means it’s time to wrap up our menu planning and make some decisions already — grocery shopping awaits! Whether you’re hosting the meal or bringing a dish to the potluck, every Thanksgiving cook is faced with a major decision: stick to tradition or add your own little twist? Sweet Potato […]
Planning the Thanksgiving menu is one of my favorite activities of the holiday season, and I fully embrace the challenge of satisfying the traditionalists in my family (yes Dad, cranberry jelly will be happening) while following my own impulse to put a modern spin on a few of the dishes. Today’s menu is what I’d be […]
Have you ever tasted a new ingredient and thought, “Now this is a game-changer”? I can remember a few times in my life: Maldon sea salt, really good dark chocolate, European butter, and most of all, six years ago when we were on our honeymoon in Italy and I tasted buffalo mozzarella for the first time. Previously, I’d had […]
