01.08.2026

Red Heart-Shaped Pumpkin Ravioli with Brown Butter Rosemary

These heart-shaped ravioli filled with sweet roasted pumpkin and parmesan are as delicious as they are beautiful. The bright red pasta dough, colored naturally with beet purée, makes them perfect for a special occasion. Topped with nutty brown butter and crispy sage, they're surprisingly approachable to make at home—and absolutely worth the effort.

01.08.2026

Rainbow Root Vegetable Latkes

Crispy, colorful latkes made from a mix of root vegetables. They’re lighter than all-potato latkes, but still properly crunchy at the edges. The key is squeezing the shreds very dry so they fry instead of steaming.

01.08.2026

Peach Galette with Olive Oil, Poppy Seed & Cardamom Crust

This is the kind of dessert that looks like you casually live in the countryside and own linen napkins, but it is actually just fruit, dough, and a little folding. The crust is the interesting part here: olive oil instead of butter, poppy seeds for texture, cardamom because peaches deserve a nice companion. It comes out crisp at the edges, tender underneath, and fragrant in a way that feels slightly more adult than a regular fruit tart.

01.08.2026

Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs with Beet Purée, Green Herb Purée & Mustard Jus

A restaurant-style chicken plate built on contrasts: crisp-skinned chicken thighs with silky beet purée, bright green herb purée, and a sharp mustard pan jus.

01.08.2026

Lime Pie with Basil and Strawberries

Lime Pie with Basil and Strawberries is bright, herbal, and a little bit surprising. The basil makes the lime filling more complex, and the fresh strawberries keep it firmly in dessert territory rather than candy-sweet.

01.08.2026

Lemon Turmeric Cake

A moist, bright lemon loaf with a hint of turmeric—simple, reliable, and deeply repeatable.

01.08.2026

Hot Honey Chicken with Broccolini

Fluffy Pancakes with Whipped Maple Butter & Caramelized Bacon

Fluffy, tender pancakes with browned-butter depth, topped with whipped maple butter and finished with crunchy candied pepper bacon. It’s a full diner moment, but still a 15-minute fix if you do the bacon while the batter rests.

01.08.2026

Easy Miso-Maple Salmon

My fav recipe for easy weeknight salmon. It’s salty-sweet, takes basically no time, and you can make it no matter how tired you are.

01.08.2026

Easy Flatbread + Homemade Hummus

Flatbread and hummus — sure, you can grab them at almost any store, but making them at home is easy, oddly satisfying, and especially good with my chicken kofta recipe, which you can find on my page.

01.08.2026

Chicken Ragù with Mushroom Sauce on Sweet Potato

Tender pulled chicken breast ragù in a soft, sweet soffritto base, finished with crème fraîche and lemon, served with a silky mushroom sauce over baked sweet potato.

01.08.2026

Chicken Kofta with Hummus and Homemade Flatbread

A simple, flavorful chicken kofta served on warm homemade flatbread with hummus and a bright herb salad. The kofta are tender and well-spiced, the flatbread soft and pillowy, and the salad adds freshness and crunch. It's a complete meal that comes together beautifully—each component easy to make, but the result feels generous and deeply satisfying.

01.08.2026

Cauliflower steak on sweet beet purée

Pan-seared cauliflower steaks finished in the oven, served over a silky, sweet beet purée with balsamic depth. Cozy and bold.

01.08.2026

Carrot Cake for Normal Days

This is the carrot cake. No further explanation needed. You use one bowl, one whisk, and one spatula, and it’s almost impossible to mess up the layers; they take care of themselves. It’s an easy weeknight project, equally suitable for surprising a friend, a neighbor, or just your own appetite.

01.08.2026

Calçotada-Style Leek Pie with Romesco and Bacon

This Catalan-inspired savory tart combines char-grilled leeks, smoky romesco, and a delicate bacon custard, all nestled in a buttery crust. It's inspired by the calçotada tradition but reimagined as a refined, make-ahead pie that's just as good warm as it is at room temperature.

01.08.2026

Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

They’re rich, very sweet, and surprisingly intricate in flavor. Yes, they take time, and yes, there are a few steps but the result is genuinely beautiful. Soft dough, warm spice, sharp berries, and that frosting settling into every corner. The real problem is that they don’t last. One turns into another very quickly. Dangerous, absolutely—but extremely tempting.

01.08.2026

Big Mac–Inspired Salmon Tartare with Sesame Muffins

Cold salmon tartare with tangy Big Mac–style sauce, served with warm sesame muffins for scooping.

01.08.2026

Baked Spiced Blood Orange & Pear Oatmeal

01.08.2026

Baked Pears with Vanilla, Citrus + Ginger

Baked pears are the kind of dessert that feels both effortless and elegant. Fragrant with vanilla and citrus, with a subtle warmth from fresh ginger, they emerge from the oven glossy and tender, ready to be served on their own or alongside a scoop of bright sorbet.

01.08.2026

Mediterranean Eggplant and Tomato Tart

This tart is all about contrast: a tender, olive oil–rich whole wheat crust filled with smoky roasted eggplant, bright marinara, and just enough cheese and tomato to make it feel like a cross between a quiche and a deep-dish pizza.
