It’s been getting very cozy and Christmas-y around these parts—I’ve decked the mantel with garland, baked lots of cookies, drank a solid amount of eggnog, and have had a giant pot of soup on the stove every night for at *least* the past 5...
A couple weeks ago Holly and Natalie from The Modern Proper came over and we had an awesome little breakfast potluck together. They made these incredible shirred eggs with leeks, cream, fresh parsley, and red peppers, which I am still drooling over. It was...
This past September I was able to host a First We Eat photography workshop in Bordeaux alongside Carey Nershi, Elise Dumas of The Pineapple Chef, Nora and Laura from Our Food Stories, Olaiya Land of Milly’s Kitchen, and the ever-wonderful and hilarious Megan Dunn. Our workshop...
I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is only a few days away! Jeremy and I are going to my parents this year, and I’m in charge of the pies (pear pecan pies and otherwise), sweet potatoes, cornbread, cheeseboard, and rolls (and I’m going to sneakily...

Last August I hosted a workshop in western Iceland alongside Carey Nershi, Linda Lomelino, Maggie Pate, Ingrid Hofstra, and Erla Gretarsdottir. We were joined by an incredibly talented group of wondrously adventurous women and spent the next few days together taking in some of...
It’s officially autumn, guys!!! Which means it’s now completely acceptable for me to brown butter ALL THE THINGS, and I’m starting it off with the graham cracker crust of this apple cheesecake! So, I know that cracking is an aesthetic issue with the surface...
This past summer brought about the beginning of a new obsession: the homemade latte. While I love the taste of coffee, I didn’t drink it much until recently because the acidity in your typical hot cuppa joe bothered my stomach. For some reason iced...
This summer I co-hosted our 12th Secret Supper with Danielle Firle, and Mona and Jaret of Tournant. The supper took place out at Hama Hama Oyster Farm outside of Seattle, Washington on the hood canal on one of the sunniest days of the summer....
