Pukk, one of my favorite restaurants for vegetarian Thai food in New York serves a divine “duck” salad. It has this potent spicy, sour, and sweet dressing offset with chewy cashews, cris...
I will keep this short and sweet as I’m packing up everything I own to board a plane with a one-way ticket to New York in a few days! New York will surely not be lacking in the food department...
These were inspired by an English handmade baking company called Two by Two Artisan Biscuits that makes adorable tea cookies in animal shapes. I am always going on about tea time when talking about ...
This is a simple biscotti with orange zest, olive oil, and flecks of toasted hazelnut. They have a bit of cornmeal in them that give them an extra crunch. In my mind, they are everything a biscotti ...
No one does summery sweet and savory better than the Hawaiians. They have a bit of experience when it comes to golden sun and leisure. This makes a perfect dinner to serve al fresco with some prose...
Sometimes the urge to bake strikes at the oddest of moments. It’s a way of procrastinating, collecting, and keeping myself sane. This is coming from the girl who felt it was imperative to make bana...
Its a rainy day in June and I’m surrounded by boxes. I’m thinking its high time for a milkshake- the kind with malt in it and a red and white striped straw. The kind with beer or whiskey...
I was very lucky to have a friend jump coasts to see me over the long weekend, to bake bread, eat good food, and sip endless espresso drinks. It gave me a welcome pause amidst the craziness of prepa...
I am leaving San Francisco soon, which makes me look at the things I hoped to achieve here and sigh at the lone stragglers I never got to. One of them is having a csa box of locally grown fruits and...
When I was little, my dad took me to get doughnuts every Saturday morning. He had a coffee, I had a carton of milk, and we’d order a dozen glazed, so fresh they steamed when you took a bite. There ...
I made this pasta a while ago on one of the many cold and rainy days of february when the heat wasn’t working, and I figured a warm unending bowl of pasta would cure everything. Leafing throug...
Having a bad day? Having a good day? Either way, making some cookies can be just the thing sometimes. I don’t know if I can properly describe the wonderment of these little cookies. They are...
Thats a mouthful I know, but they are actually, ahem, pistachio honey coconut cherry white chocolate chip amaranth oatmeal cookies. I know, its a lot of flavors, and it being an experiment, I was a ...
I’ve been to Vietnam, but I didn’t have a Bánh Mì there. I did have really good Vietnamese coffee, fresh coconut juice sipped out of a plastic baggie, and sticky rice with fried onions from a...
I can’t seem to get enough of orange zest lately. I insist on adding it to everything, and if any recipe mentions orange or citrus, I find myself suddenly back in the kitchen. Biscotti, scones...
I know. A fat free cake. But wait. I was very intrigued looking through Moosewood’s Book of Desserts because among melt in your mouth cookies and custards, here was this vegan fat free cake. H...
Sigh. I love scones. I’ve tried many a charming scone and these are among the best. You may be tempted to add something or tweak them since they are so simple, but there’s no need. The delic...
January is coming to a close and February is around the corner. This salad is just the sprig of freshness that the season needs—peppery arugula, lemony vinaigrette, brightened by juicy winter grapefr...
Orange sesame flavored Chinese take out is comforting to me. Maybe because I associate it with the self-indulgence of a night of short stories or a movie on the couch– 0r the sole source of com...
I’ve been all about healthy quick breads lately. Because if you’re like me and you want to bake and eat baked goods all the time, you need to compromise sometimes on time and goodness. This recipe ...
The weather is the worst I’ve seen it in San Francisco. Too rainy for apple picking or running or even walking to the corner store. I could begin to look through the stacks of books I’v...
Its been a busy few months, and the posting here has slowed from a drip to a non existent drought, but hopefully, that is all about to change. Is it just me or does it seem that time has been moving...
Sometimes I’ll go weeks with nothing but coffee before 2pm, but I mean no disrespect to breakfast. I’m sometimes just not good at making time. and brunch? Very rarely will I wait in li...
I’ve been baking and I have recipes to share with you, but they require time to get into so I’m withholding for now! But this recipe is pretty straight forward and it would be wrong to keep it hidde...
I’ve been advised that sugar is bad for you when you’re stressed, and in my direction, that means- lay off the sugar, seriously. but I love to be in the kitchen and its a necessary part ...
