On a recent trip to the California Coast we were inspired by the waves, sun and youthful spirit of the beach locals. As a California native, Diana insists there is nothing better than topping off a sun soaked day at the beach with a classic fish taco. Cruising down PCH and listening to the Beach Boys is a bonus!
Our love goes out to the Steiner family for sharing their charming home, yoga practice and zest for life with us.
Tucked into the corner of a sleepy street in Brooklyn Heights is our wonderful community garden. It provides a place for us to experiment and grow veggies as well as a chance to connect with other food and nature loving people in the neighborhood.
Spring is full of amazing little treats, such as baby beets and wild greens. Young vegetables tend to be sweeter and more flavorful than full grown varieties. A fresh handpicked salad and a light pasta are a great way to fuel up after a long day of gardening.
After picking up several bundles of ramps from the farmer's market, we decided to give them a longer shelf life by pickling one batch and using the rest to make a compound butter.
The sweet oniony flavor from the ramps are best paired with a freshly baked baguette, cured meats, and olives. Tossing everything into a basket makes for a delightful picnic in the park.
During a recent trip to Big Sur California, we stopped by Big Sur Bakery for their famous breakfast pizza. After an early morning hike it was the perfect dish to satisfy our appetites.
Say hello to spring with our sunny side up version of the breakfast tart topped with bacon, eggs, asparagus and arugula flowers.

A luscious truffle-like filled tartlet is the perfect way to welcome the early autumn. Earl grey adds a fragrant aroma that pairs heavenly with the sweetness of chocolate. Top with chocolate dipped pear and edible gold powder and you'll have an effortless elegant dessert.
In celebration of our dear collector friend's birthday, we created a tropical ice cream cake inspired by one of his favorite creatures the Bowerbird. To allure potential mates, the Bowerbird collects brightly colored objects to display in and around their beautifully constructed bowers. The objects can range from shells, feathers, flowers, coins, and in this case delicately dotted eggshells.
This dense passionfruit cake paired with light and airy coconut ice cream will bring delight to any summer party.
