    Hamantaschen, Wild Garlic & More Classes

    This weekend we celebrate the Jewish holiday of Purim, which in this household mainly consists of baking and sharing (and of course consuming multiple) Hamantaschen, a triangle shaped cookie traditionally filled with either prune, apricot or poppyseed. If you are not celebrating or making these cute little one day a year treats, feel free to skip my nostalgic story…

    A Bowl of Comfort & a Pep in Your Salad Step….

    I signed off my last newsletter with the news that I would be writing to you today from the shores of Southern California.

Things I Love Right Now


notes from my journal…

Things I Love Right Now

I had a whirlwind trip to NYC at the end of last month but I did manage to squeeze in a seat at 2 of my favourite eateries. The bar at Frenchette is my happy place, where I can eat phenomenal steak tartare while sipping an exceptional dry martini and watch the local Tribeca world go by. And I shamelessly ordered enough food for 4 at Via Carota, a restaurant that never disappoints. The wait is always worth it.

I adored reading Lessons In Chemistry last year and have just binge watched the series on AppleTV. It has the perfect soothing pace to keep us company during the winter and it’s an absolute visual dream from the fabulous wardrobes to the mouth watering food shots. Not to mention a great story…….

Happily spending this month baking my way through my heroine, Nancy Silverton’s new book, The Cookie That Changed My Life. Keep your eyes peeled on Instagram for updates on what I’m making.

See everything I love
