There is nothing like a cup of hot cocoa to warm us up during these colder months. Our idea for holiday gifts this year was to take our favorite antique soup spoons and coat them with rich dark chocolate and a dusting of spices. Just mix with a cup of hot milk and these are ready to be sipped cozily by the fireplace.

Gorgeous pears of every shape and size are flooding the farmer's markets this season. We've put together some of our favorite recipes that range from gentle poaching and canning to a savory mash that highlight the texture and delicate sweetness of this fall fruit.

We recently headed back to the west coast to a lovely wedding in Malibu Canyon. With a beautiful scenic backdrop and the ocean breeze, it was the perfect place for a ceremony. One of the highlights was a delciously prepared paella cooked over an open fire that fed an incredible amount of guests. We were lucky enough to spend the night in a tipi under the stars.
Congratulations to Karen and Ethan~!
On a recent road trip to Maine, we had some of the best lobster rolls we've come across. We recreated our own version as a lobster salad tossed with sweet corn to welcome the appearance of a warm New York summer. Lemon granita with a splash of prosecco and dollop of basil cream makes a refreshing dessert that keeps everyone cool.
Brrr it's cold out here in New York so we rounded up a couple of our favorite winter soups to keep you warm.
Sunchokes are plentiful in the farmer's market and make for a lighter delicate version of a creamy potato soup. We fried up thin slices of these starchy tubers to add a crispy texture to our soup and finished it off with a chervil oil.
Asopao de Camarones is a dish that Lisel grew up eating in Puerto Rico. A deliciously spicy shrimp stew that makes a great hearty dish during cold weather. Another favorite of ours is Avgolemono soup, which is a Greek chicken soup that has a zing of lemon and is thickened with frothy eggs. A big thanks to Mrs. Logaras for the delicious recipe!
