There’s nothing I love more in the late summer and early fall than fresh corn. It doesn’t matter if it’s yellow, white or a combination, if it’s in season, it’s sweet as sugar and I just can’t get enough! As soon as it’s at the farmers market I start buying ears by the bushel and… Continue reading Gnocchi, Corn and Arugula in a Cream Sauce

Braised Chicken with Artichokes and Olives
Fall means two things: cooler temperatures and the holidays. During this time of year you have Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It’s time to stop thinking about salads and start thinking about hot, hearty meals. Meals that stick to your ribs and make you feel all warm and cozy inside. Meals like this… Continue reading Braised Chicken with Artichokes and Olives
Batida
Yesterday was the first day of fall, and while everyone all over the internet and social media was talking about pumpkin spice and apple recipes, I’m still thinking about summer. Why am I still in a summer mood? Because it’s still in the 80’s here. Yes, while the rest of the world starts to feel… Continue reading Batida
Mediterranean Zucchini and Chickpea Salad
Recently I’ve been doing recipes with corn and zucchini because those are the vegetables that are in season right now. Two delicious choices that are even better in the late summer and fall. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of both these veggies and as long as they’re in season, I use them.… Continue reading Mediterranean Zucchini and Chickpea Salad
Couscous Corn Salad
We’re right in the middle of corn season. While I’m all about the stone fruits during this time of year, there are a few vegetables that I love as well. Actually just two: corn and zucchini. I used to hate zucchini. I don’t know why, I just know that whenever my mom would say we… Continue reading Couscous Corn Salad
Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
It’s been hot! I mean, surface of the sun hot. I live 10 blocks from the beach and it’s been oscillating between 80 and 90 degrees depending on the time of day. But if you look up above, it looks like rain… which sort of fits. Any time I’ve been somewhere tropical, somewhere the temperatures… Continue reading Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
Peach Bourbon Sun Tea
For the past two years I’ve been invited to the OC County Fair to do cocktail demos. Last year I did bubbly cocktails with fresh produce. This year I did tea cocktails. Why tea? Well, the theme for this year’s fair was Feel the Sunshine, so I did something I’ve never done before. I made… Continue reading Peach Bourbon Sun Tea
Corn and Zucchini Orzo Salad
When summer turns to fall and the leaves start to change color that’s when we start to see some of my favorite summer vegetables. I know all I’ve been talking about are peaches and plums, but there are also a couple vegetables that I look forward to when August and September come around: corn and… Continue reading Corn and Zucchini Orzo Salad
Caprese Chicken
When summer hits, I’m all about the stone fruits. Cherries, peaches, plums… if it’s got a pit, I’m all over it. But there’s another fruit that shows up when the temperature turns warm that I also can’t get enough of: the tomato. I love heirloom tomatoes. While a regular beefsteak or Roma tomato is great… Continue reading Caprese Chicken

Peach Berry Focaccia
I love bread. I know it’s super heavy on the carbs and it’s not the healthiest option out there, but I can’t get enough, especially when it’s piping hot, just out of the oven. But of all the different kinds of bread out there, my favorite is definitely focaccia. I make it every chance I… Continue reading Peach Berry Focaccia
