London Burger Bash

I have a mild obsession with burgers. I think that —when executed right—they are a perfect food. Juicy, chargrilled beef; soft, yielding buns; and savoury toppings come together in a glorious explosion of flavours and…

Spicy Carrot and Chicken Pasta Recipe

Maybe I don’t know where to look for spicy food in Europe, or maybe my idea of spicy differs from the palate here, but I’ve noticed that there’s a decided lack of spicy heat on this side of the…

Mushroom and Pea Orzo Risotto Recipe

San Sebastian is where I’ve had the best food I’ve had in all of Spain, maybe even all of Europe. It was delicious, innovative, accessible, and best of all, in small plate format. How can you not love a…

Brown Sugar Bacon Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

Like most kids, I lived for sweet treats. Not so much anymore, but I still like to throw it back sometimes and relive my childhood. A perfect evening back in the day was a bike ride at dusk with…

Oxtail Pho Recipe

If you’ve never had pho, you’re missing out. Slippery, thin rice noodles, flavourful meat, savoury stock and a bunch of fresh herbs make a bowl of pho something to covet when you’re looking for something filling, yet light.…

Mini Scotch Quail Eggs Recipe

I can’t remember my first Scotch egg or even why I decided to try one, but after the first bite I was hooked. How could I not fall in love a perfectly boiled egg wrapped up in a sausage…

Best Banana Bread Recipe

I’m a purist when it comes to banana bread: no nuts, no chocolate, no dried banana chips. I like my banana bread to taste like bananas. I love how something magical happens when bananas are baked; the sugars caramelize…

Parsley Pesto Pasta with Broccoli and Salmon Recipe

Do you ever just wander around the grocery store until inspiration strikes? Sometimes that means I’m in and out of the store in five minutes, but sometimes it means I’ll wander aimlessly for…

What to Cook for the Lunar New Year: Year of the Pig

The Year of the Pig is fast approaching...are you guys ready? I have super fond memories of Lunar New Year and every time it comes around, I know that I'm …

Blistered Shishito and Burrata Bread Salad

When you get home, what's the first thing you do? I have a little habit that Mike thinks is weird and a remnant of how my parents raised me. I like to think …

Friday Finds: 10.13.17

Happy Friday the 13th!!! In OCTOBER!??! What is this madness? I'm both scared and not scared? Hopefully nothing crazy happens today. Do you guys have plans for the weekend? I'm …

Lemongrass Stuffing Recipe

Seems like there's a great divide on stuffing vs. dressing. Technically, this isn't stuffing because it hasn't been stuffed inside a bird (hard to do when you just braise a …

Sweet Potato and Carrot Curry Soup Recipe

State Bird Provisions in San Francisco has been on my radar for a while. I’ve been meaning to try it even before Bon Appetit named it 2012’s Restaurant of the Year. My first attempt at eating at State Bird…

Heart-Shaped Pizza Recipe

Seems to me like there are a lot of Valentine’s Day haters out there, but I will confess right now, I’m not one of them. I’m not the hugest fan – I don’t go all out and decorate my…

Ranger Cookie Recipe

Mike and I love going on long rambling walks that go nowhere in particular. More often than not, we’ll end up in a grocery or kitchen goods store. The other week we stopped into Williams Sonoma where they were…

Raspberry Lemon Cake Recipe

Do you have any friends who don’t like sweets? It seems to me that all the people I know don’t like chocolate or sweets. What’s a girl obsessed with sugar supposed to do?! Its downright difficult pawning off my…
