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 […]
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.

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 […]
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. […]
