Hot chocolate, sloe gin and gingerbread lattes may be some of the greatest perks of the chilly autumn season, however, the changing leaves and dropping temperatures also bring forth another treat: snugly blankets.
One may think that blankets and specifically using the term “snugly blankets” should be reserved for the twee and tweenage, however, I put my hand up and admit that I have a slight blanket problem – in the colder months I become obsessed. I cannot walk past a soft look...

I’ve certainly never been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder but I realize that I become increasingly irritable and melancholy in August in anticipation for Fall and then again just after Halloween when we change the clocks and it’s dark at 5pm.

We Americans have finally been blessed with the finest British export: Come Dine With Me. I skip home every Tuesday evening giddy with excitement and settle down in front of the TV with a vegan feast. It’s my favorite night of the week.
A few episodes ago one of the contestants served pear and squash soup and I went “say whaaat?! I have to make that!” So I did. It’s a sweet and savory combination that when written out on a page doesn’t seem too appealing. But I promise it’s r...

There are few things better than banana bread baking away in your oven filling the whole house with cinnamon and spice and everything nice. It’s getting a bit nippy in the mornings and the promise of a few warm slices slathered with jam makes it a little easier to roll out of bed.
The walnuts in this recipe are optional, but the chocolate chips are a MUST.

Everyone knows that the nuclear American family as it once existed is no longer a widespread reality. Work hours are longer, the ability to have family AND professional success more challenging, and the idea of gathering around a dinner table each night over a fresh meal virtually a distant memory.

Sunday seems to be on the road to becoming a regular bake day for me. While everyone is out absorbing the last strong rays of summer sunshine in the parks and on terraces in Paris, I'm more inclined to stay in and toil in the kitchen. The last two Sundays are no exception. I've been going through a cookie phase and have been trying out lots of different combinations, textures and sizes and since I had a bag of sweetened coconut to use up (a thoughtful gift from a visiting friend from t...

I’ve never been able to replicate the perfect crisp-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside texture of fried tofu at home. I’m a little fry shy as I’ve imagined misjudging the temperature of the oil and setting my hair on fire numerous times.
But I totally conquered my fear and made the most delicious golden crispy tofu at home the other night! No need for gallons of oil or calls to the fire department.
