After recently experiencing the utterly divine trifecta of apricots, goat cheese and almonds in one bite-sized morsel, I was excited to add it to my cheeseboard repertoire. Who knew that dried apricots pair so wonderfully with goat cheese?
When I think of quintessential summer flavors and textures, this peach biscuit cobbler is it. The recipe is simple to follow and the only thing that really takes some attention is the biscuit topping, but I promise even that is pretty easy to pull together. Take advantage of what’s left of those gorgeous summer peaches and make this ASAP!

There’s nothing like experiencing your very first music festival. I’ll never forget mine, despite it being what feels like decades ago.

To me, salads aren’t just measly side dishes made from sad boring vegetables. I like to make them substantial meals featuring seasonal veggies and fruits that are looking perfectly ripe at the market.

The addition of fatty salmon with crunchy raw veggies really makes this into a stand-alone meal. It’s so addictive and the perfect combination of flavors and textures!
Breakfast is hands down my favorite meal of the day. I’ve become obsessed with Turkish breakfast thanks to a few local restaurants in LA that have been picking up on the Turkish breakfast trend and serving large platters filled with all kinds of dips, yogurt, eggs, fresh herbs, cheese, olives, pickled veggies and delicious fresh […]
Everyone has their go-to salad and this one is mine. This salad is so simple that a recipe is hardly necessarily. There is one key thing that makes this salad so good– quality ingredients! Make sure to source the best, most ripe fruit and quality prosciutto, extra virgin olive oil and flake sea salt. This salad is otherwise easy to make and serve. I like to keep the fruit in big pieces to make this almost a fork-and-knife salad, but you could slice and dice this any way!
