About Me

I love food. Cooking it; baking it; thinking about it; sharing it. I have worked in professional kitchens but truly honed my skills as a home cook. I started baking and making up my own recipes when I was seven. I cooked weeknight dinners for my family all through high school. I love sharing my new ideas with friends and family now. I develop all my own recipes and delight in finding surprising flavor combinations – I am excited to share those recipes here!

Dairy-Free Strawberry Brown Sugar Sherbet.

Springerle, first attempt! This old German cookie is whack - uses baker’s ammonia😬, needs 30 solid minutes in the stand mixer💪, dries for 24 hours before baking🕑, optionally painted with luster dust🎨, THEN ages for weeks 📅 in a tin with an apple cut in half 🍎 for the flavors (anise and lemon) to “develop”🤷‍♀️… but look at how well they took the stamp🤩! I’ve never had them before, but my Mom has waxed poetic about her grandmother’s springerle, so finally gave ‘em a go! 🤞🤞🤞 #springerle #germanchristmascookies #oldschoolbaking #christmascookies #foodblog #foodblogger #baking #christmasbaking

Shanah Tovah! 🎉 First ever challah, one with raisins (right) one without (left) using vanilla challah recipe from The Bread Bible by Beth Hensperger. They’re still cooling but the house smells AMAZING, can’t wait!!!! Wishing you all a good and sweet new year! ❤️ #challah #challahbread #firstchallah #roundchallah #shanahtovah #sweetnewyear #foodblog #foodblogger

Nut-free French macaroons!!!!!!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻(Also gluten free AND dairy free- oh my, yes! 🥰) A recipe a year in the making, such a learning curve! 📈 I have obviously never been able to even taste a macaron (evil almonds!🤢), so received great input and taste testing from my wonderful friends! ❤️ So much research went into finding a substitute for almonds: turns out sunflower seeds 🌻 have the same fat-protein-fiber content and are perfect (but a bitch to grind yourself 😅, using @gerbsallergyfriendlyfoods from now on)! Then, learning the technique took some work 💪 (YouTube vids from @baketoujours were a lifesaver 🙏). The final piece of the puzzle was discovering water ganache - the chocolate savior for the lactose intolerant and vegan - it breaks all the chocolate 🍫💧🤷‍♀️ rules but it works! 🎉🎉🎉 Here flavored with freeze dried strawberries 🍓 and balsamic vinegar (and a bit of roasted strawberry in the center, inspired by @emcdowell ‘s pie recipe) - heaven! 🤤😇🤤😇 Recipe to come soon!!! #macaronstagram #macarons #frenchmacarons #nutfree #nutfreebaking #nutfreemacarons #sunflowerseeds #forthewin #recipedevelopment #strawberrybalsamic #waterganache #veganganache #dairyfreeganache #guittardchocolate
