a menu for april It's spring, in theory, but it's that cold, damp, early part. This is dinner now: lighter pasta, changed-up salad, a sweet treat and a drink that looks forward to full-fledged spring ahead.
a lazy, sunday, spaghetti dinner party A menu that's casual and meant to be hardly any work at all. Lots of one-bowl, one-pot, one-tray stuff. And it is. Honestly. (Except this time...)
scene + savoured: anniversaries, reunions, recoveries My best friend was in town from LA, I celebrated my 7-year anniversary and we rang in the new year.
a biryani feast Growing up, once I caught whiff of a biryani coming together, I knew for sure it was a special night.
spiced, fried potatoes These potatoes are my mom's specialty and James' absolute favourite dish of hers.
three ingredient (vegetarian) tapenade It turns out that you don't really need to worry yourself with a substitution for anchovies when making a vegetarian tapenade.
so full i have the great fortune of cooking with james, seeing my family, and eating great food together all the time. so grateful.
