Welcome to my Blog! Here you will find chronicles of my day to day life as a Chef. In it you will find pictures from my travels, read anecdotally about my dreams and aspirations, share my excitement on the discovery of a new (to me) recipe, tool or technique, as well as my trials and tribulations as a new entrepreneur, and anything else that strikes me as interesting, odd or just plain cool.

Strawberry Sour Cream Everyday Cake

They're everywhere I tell you!!! I’m talking about those luscious, plump and rosy morsels of goodness - strawberries of course! I can’t resist them and often buy them to try out in a new recipe but end up using them in a smoothie.  Ripe strawberries wait for no one and will lose their luster and [...]

Whole Banana Blueberry Bread

Did you know that you can eat banana skins? Me either! Apparently the vegan/vegetarians have been doing it for years and didn’t tell us about it! As skeptical as I was of this Banana Bread recipe, I just had to try it. This is my version of Whole Banana Bread/Cake. So delicious, so satisfying! There [...]

Some of my favorite flavors are in this cookie – pecans, coffee, vanilla and of course a finishing salt for the final touch. These are salted Toffee, Pecan biscuits. An adapted recipe [...]

Rhubarb, Blueberry and Candied Ginger Cake

This is a modified version of a Rhubarb Ginger cake from those wonderfully talented folks at Food 52. I have been dying all year long to make something with rhubarb. I usually do at least one rhubarb blog a year – baking, cooking or sweet or savory pickling. I was nervous I wouldn’t find any [...]

Lime and Blueberry Loaf

There is a reason why Nik Sharma has risen to great acclaim. He’s just a brilliant Chef who brings a scientific approach not just to baking but also to cooking. I’ve been following his blog “A brown table” for a while now and have cooked and baked his recipes with, in my humble opinion, wonderful [...]

Blood Orange and Almond Madeleines

Yes my favorite citrus is back (it’s been back for a while really)! But, the season is almost gone so if you haven’t picked up any blood oranges yet, I suggest you do that right now.  Tighten up the drawstring on those buffet pants and get to the store. Go on, I’ll wait… You back, okay!! [...]

Spicy Eggplant

Okay, you do not have to make it spicy if you don’t want to (oh my goodness, I can’t believe those words left my lips! I’ve been in isolation way too long)! Actually this was one of my dad’s favorite dishes. It has a balance of sour/sweet from the addition of vinegar and sugar to the [...]
