Spiced Rosemary Sea Salt Brownies {Vegan} Last week, in part to celebrate my birthday, Marc suggested a last-minute trip to the country – L’Allier, to be more precise. Growing up, Marc spent much of his summers visiting his grandmother who lived in L’Allier, which is about 3 1/2 hours south of Paris. He arrived home […]
Banana Bread {Vegan} My mom was in town last week from California. It had been 49 years since her last trip to Paris and it was great to show her the neighborhood and all of our favorite places in the City of Lights. Although we made our rounds and ate at some of our favorite […]
Raw “Bulk” Snack Bars {V, GF, RSF} This weekend was glorious. The weather was amazing and we spent Saturday walking around the city and Sunday in the forest of Fontainebleau with Marc’s brother, Pierre, and our two nieces, Lison and Sasha. I continually found myself looking up to the trees…there was even a bit of […]
Raspberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies {Vegan} A rainy Sunday in Paris = a trip to the bookstore, a visit to the rue de Bretagne brocante (one of my favorites of the year) and a stop off at Le Marché des Enfants Rouge for some fresh thyme and beautiful lemons. With Marc at work and the house […]
MG ROAD Paris | 205 rue Saint Martin, 75003 The first time I went to MG Road in Paris was with my friends Emma and Dominika. Emma was raving about it so we went for lunch. Suffice it to say that since then, I’ve been 3 times in 2 months and can’t wait to go […]
Basil Pesto {Vegan} When the temperature dropped this weekend in Paris, I got a bee in my bonnet to cook all weekend long. I had recently eaten at one of my favorite spots in Paris, Cafe Pinson, with my dear friend Flo, and I was suddenly inspired to duplicate the dish…roasted sweet potatoes and parsnips, […]
Thyme for Gold | Favorites N.1 A few of my favorite things of the moment… that inspire me, make my day better and touch my senses. Cook, watch, try, use, smell, listen, do, visit…and let me know what tickles your fancy 😉 Vegetarian Barley Risotto from Ottolenghi Francis Mallmann’s Table Insta-Thyme with Local Milk The […]
Cauliflower & Tomato Quinoa Salad While spending some much needed downtime in Burgundy over the holidays, I managed to bring some staples from Paris to cook with the delicious produce we were able to find in the small villages close to Chiddes. A more plant-based diet means that when traveling, getting my hands on quinoa […]
ZUPPA DI RIBOLLITA | A Tuscan Stew {V} Fall and winter are perfect seasons for hearty stew and a perfect time to try to make Zuppa di Ribollita, a Tuscan Stew. Literally meaning re-boiled, this is a great dish to make all year long and it can also be easily re-heated and taken for lunch. […]
Spinach Banana Flax Smoothie Since eating a plant-based diet, I’ve also been drinking more plants. This Spinach Banana Flax Smoothie is one of my favorites. It’s great to drink at any point throughout the day and can be used to replenish energy and nutrient stores after a tough workout. In addition to their virtually limitless […]
