I recently had friends visit from Colorado. This essentially led to a 5 day cooking marathon! Kahlua pork with fresh corn tortillas and lime-dressed cabbage, fritatta with onion, garlic, herbs and potatoes, gf pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cheesecake muffins (thank you Tyler!), two types of granola: peanut butter and maple cinnamon, crunchy asian-inspired meatballs with soy-lime…

Posole and tortillas

How to peel an egg?
Yes, how to peel an egg… I’m not professing to be an expert, far from it, in fact! This is a plea – how do I peel an egg? I beg of you to share! I’ve eaten my weight in eggs – hard boiled and soft, jammy eggs (my favorite), fried, scrambled, strata and fritatta….

Cheese Stuffed Gochujang Buns
If you’re a fan of GBBO, you may have witnessed one of Dylan’s handshakes from Paul on bread week for his Gochujang Buns. Well, I’ve done them 3 times in the last week, only once following Dylan’s winning recipe, and they’ve all been amazing- we made burgers last night on buns weighing 140 g each,…
Starting From Scratch
Happy New Year. I’ve started over many times. New houses, new towns, new countries, new jobs… but has any of that prepared me for this new life without the person I’ve shared so many of those milestones with? With the amazing love of my kids and our incredible friends, I can feel the hope of…

Panna Cotta, or “cooked milk” should be on your next kitchen to-do list! It is straightforward, versatile, and simply delicious! Can I just add a little thanks for the Italian language here?

Lazy days, filled with busy work- doing some old-fashioned, homey food stuff! Bread baking with the slight vinegary scent of pickling… ahhh, simple life🌻
green is the new orange…
Hey, if a tv show can do it (Orange is the New Black – a Netflix Original series), so can I! This, however, is not another episode of Piper Kerman’s memoir-turned-tv-show, but a tribute to an island. Okinawa, that is. I visited the local fruit market yesterday, and walked away with way too much for…
