as beautiful as london is, and as much as i love this city… there are times when you need to escape. we did just that; and took advantage of a beautiful late summer sunday to make an escape to richmond, london. to the petersham nurseries, to be precise. a dreamy, offside garden hide-away, in midstContinue reading
once upon a breakfast table… black figs, heirloom tomato halves and buffalo mozzarella caprese balls with a thyme-honey dressing and fresh oregano. it embraces the start into the colder season, with still a hint of fond memories of summers past. cheers to summer, hello autumn! ingredients: 2 black figs, in eighth 1 cup heirloom cherryContinue reading

on my first day in the modern pantry’s kitchen, my very first task was rainbow chard. and i loved this task, since i love colorful vegs, so much. i love their look, how they feel in your hand. so, i treated the buckets full of pink, purple, red and yellow chards like they’re my babies.

some food deserves to be loved just for the mere name of it… like s’mores (which, by the way, i believe is a fab invention and also love to eat). or many of the austrian specialities; like buchteln (an austrian, steamed yeast pastry that’s served warm with vanilla sauce), datschi (an austrian yeast fruit tart)Continue reading
