I have recently taken up a new hobby. Up until now, I have killed every plant I’ve ever owned, but it’s no secret that I love cooking with herbs, and I love the idea of growing my own even more. So I’ve been cultivating a little herb garden on my windowsill. How cute is my [...]
I am making homemade granola today and you could be, too, if you try out my simple recipe. I love the flavor combination of herbs and tart, sweet dried fruit. The more fruit and nuts you add, the more beautiful it looks- in a glass mason jar, it makes a lovely present. I gave [...]
I’m back! Want to know how I survived what will have been my craziest semester of graduate school, without caving in and ordering take-out every night? With recipes like this one, that didn’t take me more than a half hour to cook. Steamed fish and vegetables in parchment paper packets- if you are someone who [...]
Who doesn’t love a big bowl of soup when it starts to get cold out? This is a ridiculously easy recipe for curried butternut squash soup.

It is my father’s favorite, and I love it too, so I made my own version by finding an old school basic recipe and pumping up the flavor profile (and [...]
It truly was an unforgettable summer. The beach, the barbecues, the corn, the tannest I’ve ever been in my life, the last summer before I graduate with a master’s degree and enter the workforce. After a stellar Labor Day weekend, it’s been miserably rainy and cold in New York. My classes started again and I’m [...]
When I went to the exquisite Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibit at the Met last month, I had lunch at the cafe on the roof of the museum. As expected, the cafe menu was not terribly exciting, but the one offering that peaked my interest was a curry tofu apple salad in a whole wheat [...]
