Today is Christmas Eve, and with all the festivities in the air I wanted to share one more holiday recipe with you. It might be too late to make it for Christmas proper, but there’s no reason why you can’t make this wreath bread...
Here's A Little Something...
Continuing on my pistachio kick this winter, I decided to try my hand at some tasty little pistachio shortbread cookies. This recipe has a simple shortbread cookie dough studded with finely chopped pistachios, plus a little lemon juice, lemon zest, amaretto liqueur, and vanilla...
It doesn’t feel quite like the holidays until I’m hit with the smell and taste of fresh gingerbread. Sweet, spiced, and earthy—the classic gingerbread flavor as we know it today comes from a special combination of gooey molasses, piquant fresh ginger, and warming spices...
When the fresh fruits of summer are long gone, it’s time to soak up every bit of flavor from their dried counterparts by embedding them into a decadent holiday panettone. Every culture seems to have its own dried fruit-based sweet bread, from the julekake...
This is hands down the best pie I’ve ever made or had. No exaggeration, my friends. The combination of the fragrant cardamom-stewed pears on top and the creamy pistachio paste at the bottom, all encased in a buttery flaky and perfect crust studded with...

Sometimes it seems like time passes by more quickly than others. I made this recipe last year around this time, but never managed to get it all written up and edited to share with you before autumn was over, so here I am sharing...
There are some days where you crave the simple and the good. Something that you know will go well together, is easy to make, and requires the smallest amount of clean-up afterwards. And on those days, I like to stick to one-pot cooking. All...
This recipe is my farewell to the summer—cherry tomatoes are usually the only fruits small enough to still ripen when the sun starts to wane and the cool nights of autumn re-introduce themselves into the garden. They’re the last breath of summer’s harvest. To...
We’ve made it to that funny in-between season in the midst of the tail-end of summer and the first wisps of fall. This time of year always feels like a bit of a transitional period, but with all that’s happening right now with school...
