Where Cooking Meets Photography
I’m sure you all know by now that I’m a huge fan (and a big advocate) of snacking cakes. Small pieces of simple cakes that you can snack on throughout the day and week? Yes please. Perhaps this Raspberry Poppy Seed Snacking Cake or this Chocolate Hazelnut Snacking Cake will …
One of my all-time favorite French dishes is steak frites. It’s a classic. But really, what’s not to like about it? Nothing beats a perfectly cooked steak with a peppercorn sauce and of course, fries (I’ll never say no to fries). I know that French fries aren’t really considered to …
When I was growing up, we ate rice a lot (I’m hispanic and so every meal pretty much had rice on the side) and so my mom would get really inventive sometimes with the leftovers. It was basically anything that was leftover mixed with rice. I’m not even ashamed to …
I’m back to talk about my new obsession called ButcherBox, which if you’re not familiar with it, it’s a monthly subscription box service that delivers 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, free-range organic chicken, heritage-breed pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your doorstep. You can trust that the high-quality meat you put …
I know that things look a bit different this year, as far as celebrating goes, and of course, Halloween isn’t any different (which is a bummer since it actually fell on a Saturday this year). But even though we have to put those parties and bigger festivities on hold this …
I’m a big fan of pecan pie during this time of year, but I’m not however, a big fan of all the work that goes into making it. You have to make the crust, then roll it out, then make the filling and then bake the pie and then you …
In the Nicaraguan culture, we don’t really have many sweet breads. We have a few great desserts, don’t get me wrong, but not as many to choose from like they do in other parts of Latin America. Because of this we would visit the Mexican bakery a lot when I …
After a very long and eager wait, thanks to a backorder, I finally got my hands on Edd Kimber‘s newest book, One Tin Bakes! It’s such a great cookbook, filled with so many delicious looking recipes, but the best part is that they’re all made using the same 9×13-inch baking …
I love traditional baklava so much. It happens to be one of my favorite treats, especially around the holidays. The only trouble is that I’ll do anything to avoid having to make it because of all those phyllo dough layers. I find it tedious to work with phyllo and you …
I just recently got The Duke’s Mayonnaise Cookbook, and this Bananas Foster Bread instantly stood out to me. Mainly because I happen to love bananas foster, but also because I’m missing my monthly work trips to New Orleans to shoot with Joy. I’ll admit that I hadn’t really heard of …
