PROVISIONS N.1: BERKELEY FARMER’S MARKET Last Saturday, camera in hand, Marc and I set out to the Berkeley Farmer’s Market on Center Street. I remember coming here last year when we stayed for 3 months. Each Saturday, I would visit the vendors, speak with them, sample their delicious products and very often, fill my basket […]
RASPBERRY ALMOND SQUARES | V, GF, RFS During the summer months, there is nothing better than making homemade jam. And since the fruit is naturally sweet, making desserts becomes super easy. As part of the Raspberry Series this month, today’s recipe is Raspberry Almond Squares featuring homemade Raspberry-Peach Chia Seed Jam, which I made last […]
FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA When I’m in my hometown of Berkeley, California, one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning is go to the Center Street/Ecology Center Farmer’s Market. With my Canon 5D in hand, I find myself tasting and photographing everything…from purple radishes to purple carrots, and everything in between. I stumble […]
RASPBERRY PEACH CHIA SEED JAM | V, GF, RSF Summer time is my favorite season because of all of the amazing summer fruits, including berries. 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 […]
VEGAN PARMESAN CHEESE | V, GF When I stopped eating dairy products, I knew that I would have to find a replacement for parmesan cheese. Marc is officially addicted and in my research, the obvious replacement was to use nutritional yeast. At first, we tried it by itself, but it’s definitely better when you add […]
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 […]
FIVE SHADES OF DEAUVILLE’S SHORE Since I moved to Paris, I’ve had to find new go-to weekend destinations which is not very hard. One of my favorites is Deauville. It’s a 2-hour train ride or a 2-hour drive, but either way, once you arrive, first stop: the beach. If you’ve never been, it’s a beach […]
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 […]
HOMEMADE HUMMUS {Vegan} I’ve always loved hummus, or houmous, which is an Arabic word meaning chickpea. Since I’ve begun eating a plant-based diet, I find that I eat this Superfood Dip almost everyday. So I decided to get back to basics – mashed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic and make Homemade […]
