D and I will soon be back on Anguilla - it's become an annual December tradition, and now the island feels like a familiar friend. I'm excited to see people that we've gotten to know over the years, to drive the long road around the island, and to relax. I have some new places in mind to try, so ... continue reading...
Flour Bakery, Boston
Every year I ask for at least one new cookbook for Christmas - and after my trip to Boston last month, I found this year's request: Flour by Joanne Chang. I finished up my work with an hour to spare before I needed to head to the airport, so naturally I started considering what to do eat. I ... continue reading...
Little Nonna’s, Philadelphia
I had two wonderful grandmothers who cooked with love and were determined to feed me well. But if I could choose a third grandmother, she would have been Italian. Little Nonna's is the restaurant equivalent of that grandmother - homey and welcoming, and serving a seriously impressive Sunday ... continue reading...
Al fresco dinner at Angèle, Napa CA
Time seems to get away from me these days... It's hard to believe that we were in France a year ago, and that our short trip to Napa was nearly six months ago. And here's a post that's gotten away from me too, but that rather tidily combines France and Napa: Angèle restaurant. Our dinner here ... continue reading...
Summer gazpacho

And it turned out for the best, since this was a hit - cool, flavorful, and rather virtuous. I used colorful heirloom tomatoes and threw in some juicy watermelon to add a hint of ... continue reading...
Japan 2015
Exciting news: D and I booked tickets to Japan this spring! What better way to celebrate than with these cute buckwheat cookies and some ume (plum) liqueur? As you can imagine, I'm nose-deep in researching and planning places to go and things to do eat. Our itinerary will likely be something ... continue reading...
Chocolate salami
Here's a project for anyone who likes smashing and squashing things. (Who doesn't?) D and I were served a slice of chocolate salami on Spiaggia's dessert tray the other evening, and it was my favorite of all the desserts - chocolate studded with cookies and generously flavored with rum. So I ... continue reading...
Cherry clafoutis
Hooray for cherry season! I've been eating piles of fresh, sweet cherries this summer - they're so good, I hope you have too. And when you've had your fill of fresh cherries, try a summery cherry dessert, like this clafoutis. The cherries are soaked in kirsch or cognac, set in an ... continue reading...
Lemon buttermilk bundt cake
There's no two ways about it - I love cake. And I especially love lemon cake. My sister made this cake for me last year (yes, she's the best!) and I savored every slice. So I set about to make my very own lemon buttermilk bundt cake. It's a more complicated recipe than what I usually ... continue reading...
