32 💕 full heart, full stomach 💕 food from this week & reflections on the year (tl;dr - I’m full & happy)

Well, I write this in my kitchen as I spend another Sunday with macarons in the oven.

This year has been a BIG one, with growth & creativity as the through-line. Lemme tell ya, it’s easy to feel inspired when the people around you shine so bright.

I am grateful for old friends and new and the meals we share together. For the community I’ve surrounded myself with and connections made (@bakebookclub & @paigebakesthings - can you believe we’ve been doing this less than a year??? 💕). Grateful for LA - the city I’ve made my home. Grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to feed people and those who have trusted me to do so. Endlessly grateful for my love - @marvelous_mal and his family who I am so happy to be a part of. And mostly thankful for Maple, the most perfect dog in the world.

Thanks for feeding me this year ❤️ brb, gotta pull Macs out of the oven

✨a moment for these marshmallow bars✨
Elderflower & mandarin worked so well with the delicate flavors in marshmallow & shortbread. These treats (I’ve been calling them cloud bars??) might be my new thing. When I tell you the flavor possibilities are ENDLESS, babes, we are just getting started.I’ve already got a spumoni combo in mind or maybe grapefruit caramel or rosemary vanilla….truly endless possibilities.

What other flavors should I mess around with?? Here’s to a summer of baking exploration 💖

🌷“Gardening is a contract with hope” - sub baking in for gardening and you have my new mantra.

(TL;DR, lean into creative joy)

This week, I met and baked for one of my long time creative inspirations, @debbiemillman for a stop on her book tour (this is a BIGGG pinch me moment).

While brainstorming for the menu, Debbie gave the criteria “anything flower oriented” and “ANYTHING baked”. As someone who rarely rests and loves a challenge, baking for this event reinvigorated my love for the creative process. Pairing flavors, testing recipes, prep & set up, and seeing people devour everything I’d put so much time into, reminded me what the point is: unbridled creative joy.

THE MENU:
🍅Tomato jam tart (inspired by @roxanegay74 recipe from the book and an adaptation from @nicolaalamb)
✨ elderflower & mandarin marshmallow cloud bars (coining the name cloud bar I think)
🍓basil strawberries n’ cream macarons

THANK YOU @aigalosangeles, @alexiselisaand @debbiemillman - for trusting me to bridge my two worlds: food & design.Thank you @buck_design for letting us use your gorgeous space. And thank you everyone who attended, leaving me with only a few marshmallow bars to take home.

Buy the book. It’s comforting, hopeful, and has some really great recipes.

🌷“Gardening is a contract with hope” - sub baking in for gardening and you have my new mantra.

(TL;DR, lean into creative joy)

This week, I met and baked for one of my long time creative inspirations, @debbiemillman for a stop on her book tour (this is a BIGGG pinch me moment).

While brainstorming for the menu, Debbie gave the criteria “anything flower oriented” and “ANYTHING baked”. As someone who rarely rests and loves a challenge, baking for this event reinvigorated my love for the creative process. Pairing flavors, testing recipes, prep & set up, and seeing people devour everything I’d put so much time into, reminded me what the point is: unbridled creative joy.

THE MENU:
🍅Tomato jam tart (inspired by @roxanegay74 recipe from the book and an adaptation from @nicolaalamb)
✨ elderflower & mandarin marshmallow cloud bars (coining the name cloud bar I think)
🍓basil strawberries n’ cream macarons

THANK YOU @aigalosangeles, @alexiselisaand @debbiemillman - for trusting me to bridge my two worlds: food & design.Thank you @buck_design for letting us use your gorgeous space. And thank you everyone who attended, leaving me with only a few marshmallow bars to take home.

Buy the book. It’s comforting, hopeful, and has some really great recipes.
