I’m still very much on the Italian/Mediterranean cooking kick since I came back from my trip to Europe. Every time I travel there I’m reminded of how much cooking Mediterranean food feels natural to me. It’s very much how I choose to cook at home, […]
I’m back! Back from Italy, back from the cooking course, back to real life. It’s been a whirlwind 4 weeks of traveling, and I’m so grateful for the entire experience. The real gem for me was (predictably) the Awaiting Table cooking class in southern Italy. It […]
Salve, friends! I’m writing to you today from my beautiful Airbnb in the charming town of Lecce in Southern Italy. This city is absolutely stunning. I’m going to be spending a week here learning about the cuisine of the Puglia region and cooking until I’m blue […]
As if your social media feeds haven’t told you already, it’s officially fall! For me that means cozier everything – cozier clothes, cozier weather, and definitely cozier meals. You already know from my last post that I have an affinity for gnocchi because of my […]
When I was living in France after college, my kitchen was very, very small. It consisted of two hot plates, a sink, and about six inches of counter space. With no oven and very few pots and pans, I was forced to get creative with […]

Thailand has some of the best food culture of any country I’ve ever been to hands down. The abundant street food, the fragrant spices, and the super fresh ingredients all contribute to the wonder that is food in Thailand. It’s not a cuisine I cooked […]
If you’ve been reading along with me for any length of time, you may have noticed by now that I’m not that much of a meat eater. Sure, I think things like these blue cheese scones are next level good because of the inclusion of […]
I finally pulled all of the last of my carrots growing in the garden this weekend. Knowing they were getting ready to harvest, I had been thinking of recipe inspiration all last week. I knew I wanted to do something French inspired as carrots are […]
You know how in the summer you tend to make the same salads with slight variation over and over again? Yea, this spicy honeydew salad is very firmly not one of those salads. This is a salad that’s bright, cool, and crunchy while at the […]
One of my favorite ways to experience the culture of a new place when traveling is to take a cooking class. It’s a great way to pick up some new skills, learn about local ingredients and food customs, and it’s just plain fun. The first […]
