About Us

We are insatiably curious home chefs with a love of history and a taste for adventure. Mom always said, "Don't Lick Your Knife!" but some rules are made to be broken.

We had fun playing with fire this week! Two amazing chef friends invited me over to cook their own unique cuisines. One made Japanese/Korean fusion and the other Peruvian Lomo Saltado. The trick in common was high heat (fire) on the meat and much heart in their love of cooking. I am a lucky girl 😍🔥🔥😍

Sometimes you just need to make a cake fast. This Simple Strawberry Cake is quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious. An old favorite from Grandma’s kitchen that’s still requested at every birthday!

Happy Hanukkah friends! Latkes, turkey, pumpkin pie, oh my! After a last minute cookie request, we decided to make chocolate rugelach this Thanksgivnukkah — and we’ve been happily polishing them off all week. @doriegreenspan ‘s dough and @leah.koenig ‘s chocolate filling. Mmmmm! 🍫

Best pie crust tip we’ve learned:
Cube up the butter and stick in the freezer for 10 minutes before working it quickly into the flour/sugar/salt mix. Really blends nicely and makes the roll out so much easier. Happy baking this Thanksgiving! 🦃🧈

School has officially started, and in our house, that means sandwiches 😋But even though we bake a lot of bread at home, we’d never made a simple, soft sandwich loaf … until now! It was buttery, delicious perfection and a hit all-around 🍞

Yes, it’s mid-June and no, it’s nowhere near pumpkin season, but I really needed some cozy fall comfort this morning — and that’s what canned squash is for! Woke up at 5am and made these delicious maple- pumpkin scones from @minimalistbaker 😋😍(The kids were in charge of the glaze ;)

These days my garden is my sanctuary — and a source of much needed entertainment. 😂
In addition to giving the kids and I a laugh, these creepy carrots made for some tasty pickling!
Recipe 👇

Mexican Style Pickled Carrots

⅔ cup rice wine vinegar
1 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
2 hot peppers, (I use serranos), sliced into thin rings

-Combine the vinegar, water, bay leaf, thyme and sugar in a 3-qt. saucepan, and bring to a simmer.
-Place the carrots, onion and chilies into the saucepan, cover and bring back to a boil.
-Immediately pour carrots and brine into a bowl.
-Cool to room temperature, and arrange into a mason or pickling jar.
-The pickles will keep for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.

Two loaves. Same batch of dough. What happened? Ah, sourdough is a delicate dance, and if you’re a bit clumsy, as I was getting that first boule in the oven, it will deflate, despite all the careful stretching and folding and proofing and shaping ... and waiting. 🤪 And after all that hard work, bread (like life?) can rise up —or collapse — depending on how you handle it. Luckily, it’s all delicious (and there’s always more bread to bake)!
