Cheese Please. A Day Filled #CookingWithCabot
Last week I was invited to one of my favorite spots in Tampa, The Epicurean Hotel, to taste, learn and cook with the tasty cheeses of Cabot Creamery. I joined a group of friends, local bloggers and Sunday Supper Founder, Isabel Reis Laessig for a day sure to be filled with cheesy deliciousness. The morning began with breakfast bar complete with yogurt and fresh fruit provided by Florida Milk. It was loaded with toppings like granola, shredded coconut and a selection of Divine Chocolate – It was before 10 am but it’s it always time for Dark Chocolate with Pink Himalayan Salt or maybe you prefer Dark Chocolate and Mint! Either way everyone…

Julia’s Mushroom Quiche – Quiche aux Champignons {#SundaySupper}
Almost exactly 4 years ago today on October 14th, 2012 I started cooking my way through Julia Child’s classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking , I began in my favorite category brunch. Cooking every quiche recipe in the massive cookbook and created my first Mushroom Quiche blog post – which is amazingly to this day one of my top articles on the blog. I say amazingly because over the last 4 years blogging I have learned an incredible amount about recipe creation, photography, and writing – among many other things but that’s for another day – and my journey from the 2012 Quiche aux Champignons article to current day has been one…

Peach Burrata Pizza {#SundaySupper}
Say it isn’t so… summer can’t be coming to a close already. Can it? My garden is full of basil and the markets are full of peaches and other summer produce waiting to be discovered.

Happy Saturday!! This week behind the scenes on Instagram is full of images from a wild week of private client projects, time with friends, traveling to my favorite places and taking time to let the future in. I hope you will come on over and follow along on Instagram! It’s been a crazy week with client projects, events, travel, time with friends and life in general. Now, I’m taking a few days to shut down, turn off the phone + computer and simply be. 💕 I can feel a change coming, not yet sure what it is but I’m ready and it’s time. Sometimes you need to clear space to allow…

How to Make Homemade Mozzarella {#SundaySupper #JuneDairyMonth}
My family has a running joke about how much I love cheese… I see no joke about it! I LOVE CHEESE! And I don’t try to hide it one bit, so when I heard June was National Dairy Month I knew this was my opportunity to finally put my passion into action! I have several books on how to make cheese at home that to be honest, are currently being used more for decor on my coffee table than in the kitchen for their cheese recipes. All of that is about to change. I am going to learn how to make homemade mozzarella cheese {with more varieties of cheese to…

Chive, Leek + Cheese Quiche {#SundaySupper}
Brunch is my favorite meal to serve when hosting a Spring Gathering and it must feature a menu highlighting the best herbs of my Spring garden. Flowering chives and spring leeks are the perfect combination for a Chive, Leek and Cheese Quiche. Sure I liked chives, who doesn’t. They added color and flavor to baked potatoes right? But then it happened…. I fell in love with chives. At the time, I was working with a caterer in Bucks County, PA and had to stop at one of our local suppliers for micro greens – Blue Moon Acres in Buckingham, PA – on the way to the office. I had…

Krayl’s Cast Iron Cornbread + Poblano Sticks
There are few things in life that can represent comfort of the past in the way food can… hopefully my Cornbread + Poblano Corn Sticks will soon be added to your short list of comfort foods. A familiar smell coming from your childhood kitchen, the aroma of soup brought to you, home from school sick in bed on rainy fall day. Food evokes memories we have long forgotten with just a whif coming from a doorway passing by on the street, or the first bite of a buttered roll at a new restaurant – at once unexpected and familiar. My Cornbread Comfort :: swinging opening the garage door at my Grandparents home…

Grilled Georgia Peaches with Buratta + Prosciutto
Here’s the scene. A balmy August summer night, deep summer in the south. The Mr. has a dinner meeting for out of town business associates and isn’t due home for another few hours. On the way home I stop and pick up the last copy of The New York Times Wednesday edition. I usually get the Thursday edition but they recently stopped the Home section, such a shame – I have tried to analyze what this means about the home and shelter category, or their readership, or their advertisers, but haven’t come up with a good theory. If you know please leave a comment below so I can move on.…
