It didn’t feel right to blog this month and write about food, when a watershed movement of social activism is happening around the world. Instead I spent a lot of time educating myself and then baking 350+ cookies as part of Bakers Against Racism. I still had to eat though, so here’s the monthly recap......
Another month in quarantine. The weirdest part is that it’s starting to feel normal. Here’s what I was up to at home: I was SO HAPPY to have a baking project to work on right at the beginning of the month! My friend/co-worker Nat C. ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cake for her boyfriend’s 30th......
Well, we did it. A full month in quarantine. Time has no meaning anymore, so it’s hard to say whether it went by fast or slow, it just kind of went. Here’s a recap of what I was up to at home: The best Easter Bunny (my friend Sarah) dropped off some treats for me:......
Welp, these monthly recaps are going to look a bit different for the next little while. Instead of documenting all the restaurants I’ve been to, or foodie adventures I’ve gone on in, this will turn into a bit of a log of what I’ve been cooking while staying at home, with a little bit of......
February is the worst, but I had a bunch of fun things to get me through it this month: For the Oscars this year, I made the customary winter feast of Beef Bourguignon, Mashed Potatoes and Kale Salad. I also tried to replicate a Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Tart from Café Plenty as an......

Here are a few noteworthy things that happened: Every year my friend Krishna hosts a......
This December flew by in a haze of work presentations, holiday parties, volunteering and wrapping gifts. Here’s how 2019 finished up for me: Nicole took me to an event at the Hot Docs Cinema to see one of her culinary obsessions, Alison Roman. I’m not quite sure how I didn’t know about her before this,......
November went by in a blur after getting back from a weekend trip to New York (more on that coming soon) to start it off. Here are a couple special things worth mentioning: Krishna organized a little birthday drinks night for me and Weedy at a couple of new-ish places.  First up was Mascot, which......
This month was a little hectic what with travelling for my birthday, plus prepping for another quick trip right after, so I didn’t get around to too much cooking or baking in the free time that I did have. Here’s a quick recap of a few fun highlights from the month: As I mentioned in......
September is always a slower, more quiet month as everyone gets back into their usual routines. It was also still pretty hot around here, so there was no way I was cracking open a can of pumpkin, and was still eating peaches and tomatoes (see above, plus here and here). I tried a couple of......
