This bianco pizza is the first pizza I’ve ever made using fruit. And I have to say that it turned out pretty well. The cheddar and fig jam compliment each other well so the pizza isn’t too sweet. I’d probably slice the nectarines thinner than I did this time around. You can also add the […]
This Sunday I made a couple recipes, and nothing quite hit the spot. Until I decided to try to make a small one-serving soup recipe using staple ingredients. Usually when making soup, I’ll get excited about making a big pot of it and eating it for the week. But I always end up throwing some […]
The Jambon-Beurre sandwich is one of the most popular sandwiches in France. Or the ham and butter sandwich. It’s classically made with a thin baguette, lightly salted French butter and jambon De Paris. I added a couple additional ingredients like cornichon pickles and Gruyère cheese. A cute little cafe down the street from me makes […]

Juicing is my favorite way to get hydrated, cleanse my system and just to drink something fresh. Carrots are a great candidate for juice, for me at least, because I’m not the type to snack on a ton of raw carrots. An important difference to note when juicing though, is that the fiber is not […]

I can’t believe it took 26 years for me to make candied prosciutto. It’s so easy and such a great treat. It can be added to cheese boards, topped on top of a donut, or even eaten plain or with a piece of dark chocolate. The only tricky part is making sure the slices don’t […]
Cheese boards will always be the easiest, fanciest appetizer. And no cheese board is exactly like the other, which makes them even more fun to construct. I try to pick seasonal ingredients. This one is full of mozzarella balls, burrata, melon and prosciutto as the main ingredients. Ingredients Cantaloupe, sliced Prosciutto, made into rosettes 2 […]

Figs are in season! They are my all time favorite fruit / garnish because they are so beautiful, versatile and fresh. From desserts, to appetizers and drinks, figs elevate any dish. I always grab a large handful when they’re at the grocery store. We’re at intersection of summer and fall and the color of figs […]
