Fronds + Tahini Winter Salad
But part of reducing kitchen waste and upcycling leftovers is about being inspired by what’s in front of you, whether it’s going brown, soft, or simply there because it’s in season. Be inspired by it. That floury apple? Poach it. That brown banana? Bake it. Those blood oranges? Stick ‘em in a salad with fennel.
Breakfast PB+J IceCream Sandwiches
Today is July 4th. There are many things going through my mind: I miss America (more than I expected to). I miss San Francisco. I miss my friends. Craving some smoked bbq ribs right about now. With whom can I celebrate here. How do I celebrate this year. Where did this recent obsession with Peanut Butter + Jelly come from. It's 900 degrees. I want an Ice Cream Sandwich. PEANUT BUTTER + JELLY ICE CREAM SANDWICH. Breakfast style.
Mini Mint Orange + Olive Oil Bundts
When asked to prepare a small feast of bite-sized eats for my God Sister's pre-wedding Pool Party... excitement, nerves, fear, pressure, thrill. All felt in equal measures. But as the baking (and food-photo shoot...) came to a close, and the guests got their hands on the first mini bundt cakes, watching their faces, their head nods, their satisfied smiles, it warmed me to the bone and was the perfect reminder as to why, from the bottom of my heart, I love and need to make food for the people I love.
