AGUA DE COCO Y NUEZ (COCONUT + WALNUT WATER)

One of my favorite moments from my trip to Mexico was sipping on this refreshing drink after walking through Puebla.  I didn’t know what “nuez” meant, but was pleasantly surprised to find little pieces of walnut floating in my cup.  The walnuts add a delicious texture and flavor to this slight and sweet coconut drink. INGREDIENTS 2 cups of milk […]

AIR MAIL

I love the imagery a name like “Air Mail” conjures up. A message needs to be sent, a small plane hops across the Atlantic, a hand cradled in an evening glove hurriedly rips the envelope open. The truth is, this cocktail sends its message very efficiently, the rum sneaks up on you, hidden amongst the champagne bubbles. INGREDIENTS 2 ounces […]

ALBONDIGAS SOUP

Albondigas is my favorite Spanish word to say: al-BOHN-dee-gahs! Say it with meaning! It means meatballs. Less fun to say in English, definitely.  When I was last in Mexico, I had the pleasure of enjoying albondigas con salsa roja, or meatballs with red sauce. The red sauce was a mysterious mix of chiles and tomato, and the meatballs were small, […]

ALFAJORES

Alfajores, alfajores, alfajores.  Have you had them? You would know if you did.  They would haunt your dreams like La Llorona, wailing at you, ” Devorame…devorame.” These delicious little sandwich cookies are popular all over latin America, but particularly so in Argentina.  Two tender, melt in your mouth shortbread cookies filled with rich and gooey dulce de leche, rolled in […]

ALMOND LAVENDER BOURBON MILK PUNCH

Lavender is one of my favorite flavors. It’s like rosemary’s sexier, more refined sister. It’s earthy and minty, and just a bit floral. Plus it’s so damn soothing.  It’s like a Sade or Rhye song in scent form. And who knew it was so delicious when combined with almond milk and bourbon?  I was at an event for Good Eggs, […]

ALMOND MADELEINES

Food should be nourishing and delicious. It sounds simple, right? With sweets especially, it can be so hard to find treats that are as good to eat as they are for you. My friend Laurel, the baker behind the grain-free and refined-sugar-free (and sometimes vegan) goodness known as Sweet Laurel Bakery, has shared some of her simplest and most satisfying […]

ALMOND MILK WITH DATES + VANILLA // VIDEO

Almond milk is a new love for me.  But not almond milk from the carton, I like the thick, almost milk shake-y stuff from Pressed Juicery.  Slightly sweet, super filling, and such a delicious treat.  If you want an almond milk to pour into your coffee, just add a little more water and strain fully.  Hope you enjoy this simple […]

ANZAC BISCUITS

If there was a cookie of my childhood, this would be it. They were such a prolific staple of my schoolyard days that they made it into the Franklin Elementary School Cookbook, somewhere between Carol Beitcher’s fabulous Mandel Broit and another mother’s Choco Peanut Butter Dreams. I remember devouring the warm sticky dough by the handful and the incredulous looks […]

APPLE CARAMEL COBBLER CAKE

This cake was a mistake. I was recipe testing with my food styling assistant, Sam, and we were making a tarte tatin, but Sam went into apple pie mode and started slicing the apples instead of halving them. But luckily I had left over caramel, so we made a sort of modified dump cake with apples and caramel. The result […]
