GINGER ROOT JUICE For the last year, juicing has become a daily ritual for us. And with the changing seasons, especially in Paris where it tends to get cooler in October and November, there is often the desire to “bulk up” on seasonal fruits and vegetables. This juice is a bit of let’s use what’s […]
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 […]
STRAWBERRY SORBET While driving back to Berkeley from Yosemite last weekend, we took the 120W and drove through farm country. And of course, what does farm country have?

And when raspberries are at their ripest (June-July), one of my go-to recipes is Raspberry Peach Chia Seed Jam. The best part about this jam, and jams in general, is […]
FAVA BEAN SPREAD {Vegan} During summer, one of my favorite side dishes is Fava Bean Spread. The Fava Bean, or fève en français, are very high in protein, and energy as in other beans and lentils. These little beans are rich in dietary fiber and phyto-nutrients. Whenever I see them at the farmer’s market between […]
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 […]
