Hello, friend. I’m squeaking this recipe in right before western Easter, in hopes that if you’re scrambling for a last-minute bright + springy treat, this coconut lemon curd cake could be the hail Mary (no pun intended) that you’re searching for. It’s got a...

Well hello again. Apologies for the several week lapse in posting, it’s been a wild few weeks packed with a flurry of activities, and as such I wasn’t able to make + shoot anything to share with you for a bit. But as the...

Parsnips are one of those vegetable that you tend to forget about. They look a bit like carrots that have been out of the sunlight too long—hiding indoors all winter long, stark and pale and haggard around the edges. But their flavor is wonderfully...

This morning I woke to the sound of freezing rain pelting against the glass skylight above our bed, and was reminded that we are still deep in the thralls of winter. Dreams of garden-fresh tomatoes be damned. But, we do have plenty of delicious...

We’re heading right on into gift-giving season, and if you’re looking for an easy and cozy homemade gift to share with friends and family, I’ve got a liiiittle something up my sleeve for ya. Enter, homemade bath salt. I LOVE (!) a good bath...

Things have been kind of crazy around here. I’ve been sloooooowly going through all the ceramics and linens and cookware I’ve accumulated over the years for my food photography stuff in order to put together a studio sale with the hopes of lightening the...
