I can’t believe it’s already February and I’ve only posted once since the new year D: I’m so sorry, guys!! I had these grand plans to post every week after turning in my book, but then I was a bit behind on my book...

Last month I co-hosted a very festive Secret Supper at The Colony in Saint Johns, Oregon. We stayed nice and warm cozied up inside, with roaring fires filling both of the fireplaces at The Colony. This was our 7th supper, and our second indoor one,...

It’s Christmas Eve, friends! And because of that (and the fact that I have to get a duck in the oven for supper), I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I whipped up a batch of linzer cookies for the holiday festivities, I...

 I love the holiday festivities, but I’d be lying if I said that the high highs weren’t balanced out with some pretty low lows. The truth is, this is one of the most stressful times of the year for me, and I know it’s...

I’m going to start by being really to the point here—this is one of the top three cakes I’ve ever made. This Olive Oil Tangerine cake has sweetness, moistness, fruitiness, and a little almond-y nuttiness. The interior has the perfect crumb, and the outside...

A couple weeks ago I hosted my sixth Secret Supper here in Oregon. We held this supper at Alderbrook Station, a beautiful historic boathouse and net loft in Astoria along the coast. This supper’s theme was ‘Noble Rot’— its namesake being botrytus, a fungus that affects winegrapes...

I’ve been in a bit of a haze the past few months, just writing and cooking and shooting pretty much nonstop. The cookbook writing process is an exciting but intense one—it kind of consumes your whole life while you’re in the middle of it, but it...

Back in October I was able to spend a few short days in Berlin after my First We Eat workshop in Croatia. I’ve already talked a bit about my last visit with Marta and my stop by Our Food Stories – Christiann and I had one more shoot...

The holiday baking season is upon us, and I have a little something special for you here if you’re looking for a sweet to share with your friends and family (or to have a solo treat yourself moment). Between wrapping up my next cookbook...

I’ve been cooking up a storm in the kitchen the past week. We just hosted our Secret Supper this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing, I had fermented a beet sauerkraut for it and also whipped up 7 squash pies, I did burn...

I’m so excited to announce that I’ve opened registration for my online photography, styling, and branding workshop! It’s the first online workshop I’ve done in over two years, I wanted to be able to teach folks who couldn’t take the time off to attend...
