This Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta with Burrata is a wonderful, cozy dinner idea for a chilly Fall evening. Perfect for those times when you’re craving Italian food, carbs and comfort – which is pretty much every night if you’re me. It’s getting chilly and […]
Classic French cuisine is delightful. It mostly consists of the same basic ingredients and somehow they’ve managed to come up with so many different ratios and techniques, that a mere combination of the same components can render vastly different results depending on how they’re used. […]
I know what you’re thinking. Pumpkin pancakes for fall. Groundbreaking. But allow me to be cheugy and cliche for a second. You can’t escape certain cliches, but like me, you can fully embrace certain cliches like Meg Ryan Fall. It brings me joy. Give me […]
This No-Bake French Silk Pie was born out of tragic life circumstances: I didn’t have a functioning oven for a couple weeks. Oh, the chaos! The heartbreak! A baker without an oven. Listen, I was not gonna let that little fact keep me from having […]
Snacks! My favorite word, snacks. It just rolls off the tongue. Snacks. How boring would life be without snacks. How long a day would be without a snack intermission. What a lovely disturbance, what a welcoming disruption of your daily routine. Now, how can we […]
I’m one of those people who love breakfast. Yes, I will happily get up early in the morning and dedicate the first hour of my day baking a fresh batch of scones. Yes, I am that dedicated, okay? Restaurants that serve all-day breakfast might be […]
Caramelized Honey Pumpkin Pie. Just reading the words is enough to make one intrigued or at least pique curiosity. For me, the words are powerful. They make me want to run to the nearest grocery store and fill my basket with the finest butter and […]

My Romanian friend recently introduced me to the wonderful world of Eastern European food. I know it’s a vast region, and it encompasses many different cultures, ethnicities, languages, and histories, but it’s still a cuisine I am quite unfamiliar with. There is such a crossover […]
Just ten minutes and a handful of ingredients, and you have an easy sardine spread that’s rich, creamy, salty, and melts in your mouth. I have to give it to the French, they really know how to make something as simple as bread and butter […]

These homemade lemon and ricotta doughnuts (aka The Best Donuts Ever) are so easy and so incredible, it would be a shame not to share them. So being the kind, considerable person that I am, I’m sharing them. Ricotta and lemon are an iconic duo […]
Nothing says Fall like a big bowl of steaming carbs. Comfort food is, after all, just another name for carbs. And a chilly Fall evening is just an invitation for comfort food. And who’s complaining? Not me! This Pasta and Chickpea soup, a take on […]
This mascarpone cream with caramelized bananas is part of the Dessert For One series. Think of the way society is built: it’s a couple’s world! But this series reclaims individuality. I mean, what if you have a sweet tooth and live alone? What if your […]
For those who own nothing but a meager skillet and not much of their own time, a one-pot meal is much needed. Preferably one that doesn’t include an ingredient list with double digits. I like recommending this one, but some people don’t have an oven, […]
