Summer equals berries in this house. Even if summer also equals fog. (There is something refreshing about walking to work in a cool drizzle in July.) The three of us go through containers of blackberries on a regular basis – we heart blackberries. I was itching to mash some up and make a cupcake out of them.

(In case you’re wondering if Practically Raw , the book I’m about to review here, is full-on vegan since Amber Shea Crawley is known as the Almost Vegan Chef, it is.) The main thing that makes Practically Raw stand out from many other raw books is that it gives both the option of using a dehydrator to make the goods, or to just bake the same recipes in the oven instead. A really cool deal when you have a dehydrator (like me) but are too afraid to leave it on for too long and have the cats (like mine) cause mayhem with whatever is in it while you’re away doing your thing.

This past year was a tumble. A dive that started – what felt like – a few seconds ago. Possibly with a busy sunday lunch at the restaurant, with only Guillaume and I doing service.

We have been stocking on the bounty of Spring produce left and right lately. Strawberries, peas, rhubarb, ronde de Nice , baby Vidalias , etc... The farmers market is in full swing and my mind is buzzing with photographs to take of all this beauty. It was torture however these past two weeks to cook for two and only one could eat. Yes, I had mild complications from the tooth extraction and for two weeks I was barely able to finish a bowl of soup.I have not been posting regularly and haven’t shared many recipes. Every time I start a post, I end up staring at the screen, typing a few sentences, deleting them and then snapping my laptop closed. The past month delivered some major life changes and things have not been easy.

Sprouted Kitchen » A tastier take on whole foods.
These may be the new favorite treat around here. I tried a brand called Hail Merry coconut macaroons at a friends house last weekend and with their simple ingredient list, I knew I could recreate them myself. A small ingredient list, all in one bowl AND delicious. I don't like selling people on recipes, but decadence doesn't often come by so simply. In keeping up with the proposed Pantry Staples series, I am adding a few notes on my most frequently used fats.
This one is personal. Four years, five months and 19 days ago, I was bested by this quiche and as noted by the detailed date count, I may not be over it. Worse, it wasn’t even the quiche that bested me, but the crust. A flaky shell with even more fragility-enhancing butter than a standard pie dough, it was twice as big as a regular quiche shell, and then, instead of letting you press it into a shallow tart pan, it was draped inside the towering (okay, three-inch) walls of an open-hinged 9-inch springform ring. Without a base.

(Hong Kong) Last week with virtually no pre-travel planning, I found myself tagging along on one of B’s work trips to Hong Kong and experienced a completely incredible holiday. Yes as everyone will tell you, Hong Kong is a little bit crowded, a little bit polluted and very humid. But don’t be too quick to dismiss it as a destination like I originally did; it has the capacity to surprise and delight (and not just your stomach). These are the notes and highlights from my trip.
A quick favorites list while I regroup from a few days with my favorite three (almost four!) year-old nephew. It was a blur of playgrounds and piñatas, sand boxes and soft serve. He has his own little digital camera, and one of my favorite things to do with him is walk around on photo safari. We make a short list of things he wants to take photos of before we leave the house, and he makes his way down his list :) It's super sweet and fun. He also got some special treats, made from this new book , and I'll share those a bit later in the week. xo -h

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday? Did you eat way too much junk food and/or consume a few too many adult beverages? I bet a lot of you did.

A storm was on the way and I could smell it in the air. "We should get to the farm when they open before the rain catches us" I said to the children. They ran to get their shoes.
