Chinese Vegetable Dumplings – 2 Ways In honor of Chinese New Year last month and due to the fact that since moving to Belleville, I’ve been hoping to find a dim sum spot with vegetarian options, I decided to embrace my inner Chinese and make Homemade Chinese Vegetable Dumplings (Dim Sum). My true love of […]
Meadowsweet Mint Spring Tea + Self-Care Morning Ritual Last weekend, I was invited to visit my friend Gaelle in Aulnay-La-Rivière, about an hour and a half south of Paris. I took the train, and what should have been a direct, turned into a 2 1/2 hour train + bus ride. Ah Parisian public transportation! Gaelle […]
Dark Chocolate Strawberry Truffles I’m not usually one to celebrate Valentine’s Day as I believe everyday is a day to appreciate a loved one, whether they be a partner, a family member or a friend. But, I do love to experiment with new dessert recipes as dinners are at least a once-a-week affair at our […]
Rose Petal & Pistachio Granola {Vegan & RSF} Some time has passed since I’ve been able to post any new recipes as I spent the better part of last year shooting various film and video projects in Paris, NY and California. I find it’s always a question of trying to find the right balance. Having […]
ZA’ATAR SPICE One thing I love about living in Paris are the spice shops. There are many – some great, some good and some not so good. But, every time I walk into a shop, Marc says ” ahhhh… your space mountain!” and I proceed to stay much longer than expected 😉 I can’t deny […]

FRESH BLACKBERRY TART + WALNUT CRUST I’ve been in California for a month and my time here has been epic up until now. The weather has been lovely, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my Watercolor and Herb Craft and Medicine Making Classes, and just got back from a Solo Creative Retreat in Sebastopol where I stayed […]
HOT PINK BEETROOT HUMMUS + SUMAC-DUSTED PITA CHIPS With the weather changing and turning into real Summer, I’m craving more vibrant foods and thus have been trying to add more color to my dishes. And as hummus is one of my favorite foods, I decided to start playing around with different recipes. Pea Hummus, Lentil […]
CHIPOTLE LIME CASHEW SAUCE {Vegan} I arrived in California a couple of weeks ago for what I’m calling, ‘a creative hiatus.” The sun is shinning the weather is sweet, (and I’m hoping this weekend) I’ll get to move my dancing feet! Thanks, Bob Marley! Suffice it to say, I’m very happy to be here! I’ve […]
CHOCOLATE CHERRY OATMEAL COOKIES {V + RSF} How many times have I made oatmeal cookies in my lifetime? Many! I grew up making these cookies because they were a family favorite, and because my dad preferred oatmeal raisin to chocolate chip. I remember having to wait for the butter to soften, and then watch my […]
