BUTTERMILK MANGO CAKE

“Everyone loves this cake.” When my Aunt Tina and I baked this cake together, I asked her how the mango cake stacked up against her pantheon of vintage cakes. The mango cake, even though it doesn’t sounds like an instant crowd pleaser the way Funfetti or Dark Chocolate does, simply makes everyone happy. It’s not too sweet, has a bit […]

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUFFLE

This isn’t an airy, light soufflé that floats off the table. This is a a savory, rich, cheesy dish with a bit of levity.  The extra puff from the eggs saves it from being too decadent, and creates a delicious foundation for these classic flavors. If you don’t want to whip these together at the last minute, no worries. Just […]

CAMPFIRE GRILLED CHEESE

I’m a collector. Well, more of a hoarder, but when I get my act together and clean up I’m back to being a collector. I collect basically anything food related. Mostly vintage cookbooks, linens, antique glassware, serving-ware and odds and ends. But this little gadget was new to me, mostly because I’m not particularly outdoorsy: the cast iron pie cooker.  […]

CAPPUCCINO CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Callie is a special person to me.  She was my first official helper/confidante/friend, and I’d always get a little uncomfortable acknowledging her as an employee.  Can’t she just be my super helpful friend whom I pay? “My friend Callie just loves grocery shopping, you guys. I’m just providing an outlet for her passion.” I’ve known her forever, as the little […]

CARBONARA POLENTA

Carbonara is one of those comfort foods that just makes me happy. It’s so simple: guanciale, cream, egg, and pecorino, with lots of black pepper. Typically you’ll find it swimming between toothsome tendrils of pasta, but today I decided to mix it up. Poached eggs on cheesy grits is another comfort food favorite of mine, and the grits/polenta seemed like […]

CARDAMOM ICED COFFEE

Turkish coffee has a reputation for being dark, rich, and steeped in tradition. Since the sixteenth century, coffee was considered the “milk of chess players and thinkers” and played a vital role in Ottoman gender relations. In-laws would judge a future bride by the sweetness of her coffee, and after a guest finished their cup, they would place it upside-down […]

CARROT COCONUT SOUP WITH MOLE-ESQUE SAUCE

While visiting Mexico City we made a stop off at Puebla, a smallish colonial town that is famous for three things: the battle of cinch de mayo, chiles en nogada, and mole.  Holy moly the mole (sorry). Mole is a bit legendary in central Mexico: created by nuns in a poblano convent out of odds and ends in their kitchen […]

CAULIFLOWER / BRIE SOUP

This soup is just soooo luxurious. Like, driving in a Bugatti with a scarf whipping in the wind luxurious, or skiing in Gstaad, or maybe it’s as luxurious as you’d expect a soup with brie in it to be.  But it also manages to be so simple.  It’s under 10 ingredients, done in 45 minutes, and if you pop a […]

CAULIFLOWER BRIE GRATIN

This flavor combination is bananas. Not like, actual bananas, just bananas in that exclamatory/awesome way. Brie + anything is always delicious, but I especially love it combined with the delicate flavor or the cauliflower.  This dish is also fantastic with parsnips. So decadent and kind of an undercover favorite of mine. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS 2 cups whole milk 3 bay leaves […]

CAULIFLOWER BUFFALO WINGS

Crispy, spicy, sticky buffalo wings are a football game must, especially with a side of creamy dipping sauce (usually blue cheese, but I’m switching it out for ranch). But for todays’ recipe, I’m taking this classic app and making it vegan AND paleo. If you’re not vegan, just switch out the cauliflower for chicken wings and cook for 10 to […]
