MAPLE & LEMON PEAR COMPOTE | V, GF, RSF Almost every year, in an effort to begin the new year in as “zen” a state as possible, Marc and I often rent a house in the middle of the countryside. This year, we chose Burgundy, an area which neither of us had ever visited. From […]
QUINOA CHOCOLATE BARK {V & GF} With Christmas around the corner, Quinoa Chocolate Bark is a deliciously simple recipe to make either as a dessert, or a gift for loved ones. Plus, it can be made both vegan and gluten-free. I love this recipe because it’s super easy to make and the quinoa acts as […]
INDIAN RICE PUDDING {V, GF, RSF} Marc and I recently made sushi and as we were leaving for California the following week, we were on a mission to use everything in the fridge and pantry. So what to do with leftover sushi rice? Indian Rice Pudding, of course, Riz au Lait in France or Kheer […]
BLACKBERRY & NECTARINE GALETTE On a recent trip to Inverness last week, I had one goal: BLACKBERRIES! Every summer when I’m home visiting, my mom and I go on a blackberry mission and I come back with buckets full. This time, I wanted to make a pie (or pies, jam, etc), but due to limited […]

ROSEMARY CHOCOLATE OLIVE OIL CAKE {V} Do you ever get a bee in your bonnet to make a certain recipe? Well for me, it was Rosemary Chocolate Olive Oil Cake. Last Sunday, I was at my local farmers market on rue d’Alibert in the 10eme and when I picked up the rosemary, the smell reminded […]
BANANA FLAXSEED PANCAKES {Vegan} Waking up in Paris is always a surprise, especially in the Springtime. This particular Saturday morning, we woke up to gray skies…but no matter where you are in the world, if there are no kids in the picture, this means grasse matinée, or a lazy morning. I woke up inspired to […]
