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).

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 […]
FRESH BLACKBERRY TART + WALNUT CRUST I’ve been in California for a month and my time here has been epic up until now.

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!

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 […]
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, […]
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. […]
