BOOZY GUMMI BEARS

When my dear friend brought me back Prosecco and Rose gummi bears from Germany, I flipped out. I had never seen gummi bears in these delicate boozy flavors before, and within six months, it seemed like the rest of the world had discovered my favorite new candy too. Of course, they were weirdly expensive, so, instead of buying 4 ounces […]

BOOZY LOLLIPOPS

Homemade candy can seem like a pain, but these delicious lollipops are super easy to make and completely worth it. A shot of mezcal served with a slice of orange sprinkled with sal de gusano is a typical way you’ll find it served in Mexican bars. The smokey booze with fresh orange, salt, and a touch of spice is a […]

BOURBON PEAR BREAD PUDDING WITH MAPLE SOUR CREAM

Sometimes I feel like I’m playing recipe bingo.  A basket twirls ping pong balls with ingredients written on them, it pauses and I pull out a few, reading them out loud: Bourbon! Pear! Vanilla! Maple! Bread Pudding! You could switch bourbon with rum, pears with apple, vanilla with cinnamon, maple with agave, and have an equally delicious dish.  It’s funny, […]

BOURBON SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERMILK CAKE

This was the perfect cake for my man’s birthday last year. Not too sweet and made with whiskey. What’s fun about this recipe is that it’s entirely adaptable. Replace the salted caramel with orange juice and zest and you have a fantastic bright citrus cake; add jam and whipped cream to the middle layer of frosting and you have a […]

BRAZILIAN BLACK BEAN SOUP

This soup is my new thing. It’s so easy to make, and the combination of coconut milk + black beans is so delicious. The pureed beans give the soup a velvety texture and the coconut brings just a hint of sweetness.  I love this soup hot, but it’s also delicious chilled with extra diced jalapeño sprinkled on top. INGREDIENTS For […]

BREAD PLATTER WITH INFUSED OLIVE OIL

The amount of times I’ve made a meal out of a crusty loaf of sourdough is WAY more than I’d want to admit.  But chewy bread with a crunchy crust, paired with softened butter and a little sea salt, is almost too sublime to bother thinking too hard about.  This recipe is about elevating the olive oil to the bread.  […]

BREEZY SUMMER SHAKE

Summer is in full effect, and if you’re like me, you’ve probably gone a little crazy at the farmers’ market, trying to soak up every last drop of edible sunshine. This means that I have a lot of fruit doing a lot of nothing on my counter, and a girl can only make so much jam or pie. So smoothies […]

BRIE + CARAMELIZED ONION PUPUSAS

There are a few things you can’t escape at a LA farmer’s market or street fair: danger dogs (hotdogs wrapped in bacon served with girdled onions and jalapeños), tacos, and pupusas.  Pupusas are a delicious Salvadorian snack that is somewhere between a quesadilla and a cheese turnover.  Masa, in a dough similar to the one used for tortillas, is stuffed […]
