Corn – LA

March 5, 2013

While living in Boston, I was lucky enough to discover Flour, an incredible bakery in the South End. Totally worth the hype. World-famous banana bread. Unreal sticky buns. I’ve always coveted the cookbook, and I was lucky enough to receive it as a gift. I was immediately attracted to their corn muffin recipe. They’re not […]

Chocolate? Meet Balsamic – LA

February 19, 2013

We recently learned that a wonderful blog, Foods for the Soul, was inspired by us. Little old Bakers, Bicoastal. We were so touched that we wanted to write a post in her honor featuring a lovely combination–chocolate and balsamic vinegar. Check out her Salted Balsamic Chocolate Cookies. Fabulous, right? In the same vein, I want […]

Popcorn – NYC

December 28, 2012

For the third year in a row, we were lucky enough to have all of our very best NYC friends and family over to our house (and Chris) to celebrate the best of the holiday season together. Our now-annual Christmas party brought all of our favorite NYC people together in one room to eat, drink, […]

Popcorn – LA

December 28, 2012

Holidays are nuts. There are the usual suspects–gift shopping, Christmas card writing and holiday parties. On top of that, we’ve been preparing (read: procrastinating) for a 16-day trip to Kenya and Tanzania. That doesn’t leave us too much time for festive baking. I did get to make a few holiday treats this year: cardamom palmiers […]

Herbs – LA

December 13, 2012

Whole wheat herb bread. Warm, from the oven. Slathered in olive-almond-sage tapenade. You’re welcome. Erin, my lovely friend in San Francisco, seemed to always be making these fantastic breads. Cheese bread, olive bread, cinnamon buns and more. She made it look easy to just show up at brunch with a warm loaf of bread. I […]

Nuts – LA

December 3, 2012

It’s usually hard to get in the holiday spirit in lala land. Lately, it’s been chilly, rainy and downright gloomy, and I’m loving it. I’m pretending it’s winter in a place that rarely slips below 50 degrees, even at night. A nontraditional, yet spectacular Thanksgiving spent in Joshua tree helped to set the mood with […]

Rhubarb – NYC

July 12, 2012

Nothing washes down a big meal better (besides a great bottle of summer vino) than some baked concoction of summer fruit. Believe it or not but before today I hadn’t actually baked with rhubarb before. Its a celery looking fruit that is one of those fruits and veggies that falls into the category of “………but […]

Rhubarb – LA

July 12, 2012

I feel like every new post starts with an apology about our long hiatus. But not this time. In addition to the usual craziness, I’ve started a new job, and we adopted two 10-week-old adorable kittens who love nothing more than to wake me up by purring on my face. You guys understand. Sometimes life […]

Coconut – LA

May 2, 2012

There are macarons, and there are macaroons. The first is a jewel-colored almond meringue sandwich cookie, popular in France, and becoming the cookie du jour here in the States. The latter is a dense, sweet (crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside) shredded coconut cookie that is unbelievably easy to make. I’ve never made […]

Mad Men – LA

March 25, 2012

When I first heard about the Mad Men hiatus, I was a little disheartened. After being burned by Lost and the writer’s strike of 2007, I was worried about losing momentum, and well, interest. After all, there’s a lot of incredible shows addictions on television. I’ve been on an HBO kick lately–True Blood, Game of […]
