Turkey Zucchini Meatballs

These meatballs are a weekly staple. I throw them into salads with feta cheese and whatever else I have. Tomatoes, scallions, and avocado are great additions. Squeeze half of a lemon and a healthy drizzle of olive oil, season with salt + pepper et voilà.

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Tartine with Poached Egg

This salmon avocado tartine topped with a poached egg is my new favorite lunch. It’s salty, creamy, briny, gooey, crunchy, and spicy, which begs the question: What more could you possibly want?

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

This homemade chicken noodle soup is getting me through winter. Making it has become a sort of ritual—I roast a chicken every Sunday and use the leftovers for soup. There’s something so grounding about a pot of stock simmering on the stove. Life is chaos everywhere but at least we have homemade chicken broth!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

This recipe was five years in the making. I took my first stab at chocolate chocolate chip zucchini bread on a whim after tinkering around in my kitchen. It turned out amazing but then I lost my recipe and all of my subsequence attempts failed miserably. I got discouraged and ended up stepping away.

Lemon Thyme Tart

It’s so strange to observe how I’m marking time during this pandemic. I’m so much more aware of how the presence or absence of ritual defines my life. Case in point: This is the first recipe I’ve developed in over a year. That seems crazy to me, but the truth is I just haven’t had the time/will/energy/bandwidth to play in the kitchen.

Homemade Labneh

I’m obsessed with labneh. Obsessed. I literally find a way to put it in/on anything. To me, it’s everything I love about yogurt, cream cheese, and crème fraiche. I love to add a spoonful to my salads, or enjoy it as a snack with fruit and honey, or with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and fresh herbs.

Rosemary Paloma

Allow me to introduce you to my house cocktail, the Rosemary Paloma. It’s a refreshing summer drink featuring my booze of choice: tequila. Besides being delicious and easy to make, what I love about it is that it’s not too sweet. The rosemary simple syrup adds a subtle savory note to this citrusy cocktail.

Orange Rum Banana Bread

Chloé loves to cook with mommy, which pretty much melts mommy’s heart. One of our favorite things to make together is banana bread. Chloé’s a big fan!

In Pastry I Trust

I recently discovered a life-changing recipe for pastry dough. Hear me out. This recipe has produced sweet and savory tarts so good I honestly can’t believe I made them. More importantly, it has shifted my attitude.
