recipe – torta della nonna

April 3, 2012

This dessert has long been on my list of recipes to tackle. In fact, it found its way on my list long before I had a space to talk about tackling tortas. I first stumbled upon this tart-to-beat-all-tarts back in my first days in Italy. Then, almost 5 years went by before I had it again. [...]

March 15, 2012

I’m traveling in Peru this week and therefore, four-leaf clovers, leprechauns, and all that March holiday schtick is not so front-of-my-mind.

review + recipe: milk

January 5, 2012

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were wild and wonderful like ours. I am, as usual, suffering from the post-holiday hangover and have spent the week attempting to scarf down as many veggies as possible/avoid opening a new bottle of wine nightly. The veggies I’ve mastered. The wine? No comment. Let’s get back in [...]
