Mistakes happen. Just a reminder when heading into the thick of the crazy, stressful holiday season. Breathe. Stay calm. Remove object from food. The funny part is, I reacted slowly because I couldnt believe it was happening. I just watched it face plant into the pan. Comment MOCHI and Ill DM yo...

Theyre a dry biscuit, so I like to have them with tea. True navettes should keep for a year but that seems awfully long. They mak...

30-layer chocolate cake made with butter and olive oil for flavor and to keep it moist. Valrhona gives the cake a rich color. There is whipped ganache in between the layers and milk chocolate ganache glaze on the outside. My sister and I thought we wouldnt be able to eat it all in one sitting bu...

I had the most wonderful experience cooking in the hills of Nice during my @surlatable Culinary Journey. Cookbook author Rosa Jackson and her team walked us through a Nicoise meal of squash soup, socca, herb-crusted rack of lamb and a delicious chocolate mousse with olive oil. Comment MOUSSE and...

THIS. A very relatable moment with Ina Garten. Its been over 10 years since Ina has had a book event in the SF Bay Area, so it was truly special to see her in person to celebrate her new memoir. She shared stories about owning The Barefoot Contessa, her love of roast chicken, getting inspired by...

The oldest gelato shop in Rome has one of my favorite flavors RICE. I love the texture and bite from the grains and the gelato is milky and not super sweet. I dont know many places that make it, hence, I ate it 3 times. The shop is quite touristy with its close proximity to the Pantheon, but I ...

Brioche alla crema in Milan, or known as a cornetto a Rome. Its generously filled to order with classic or chocolate cream, maybe a bit too much for me because I like more bread. There is also one with prosciutto that I want to try, though Italians typically have sweet things for breakfast. The ...
