Recently I listened to the most inspiring podcast interview with Elle Macpherson in which she shared her approach to wellness and how she stays as beautiful as ever by taking care of both her physical and mental health. Ever since, I’ve been dying to get my hands on her Super Elixir Alkalising Greens, so I was thrilled when […]
I was inspired to create today’s recipe, thanks to a run-in with some especially lackluster pie dough. Actually, several lackluster pies, filled with some of the tastiest, freshest fillings I’ve ever had, but surrounded by under-baked, flavorless, dry crust. The worst, right?! As I indulged in a slice of one of these said pies (we’ll leave […]

These flourless pistachio cakes are proof that not all gluten-free baking has to be complicated. Even as an avid baker with a healthy knowledge of baking ratios and substitutions, I often find gluten-free recipes to be intimidating, requiring expensive specialty ingredients that yield inconsistent results. To those of you who have tackled gluten-free baking head-on […]
With spring just around the corner, this girl is saying sayonara to sweaters and hello to sandals! Along with the wardrobe change, I’ve been welcoming the lighter, more refreshing foods that are synonymous with this time of year. I know what you’re thinking: donuts probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind when you hear the word […]

Ashleigh is an editorial photographer based in Austin who shoots lots of the food you’ve seen here on the site, and whose own Instagram account we’re completely addicted to thanks to her sophisticated and moody food […]
Cookie decorating has always been one of my favorite holiday traditions. When I was a kid, my mom would throw Christmas cookie decorating parties every December. In the center of the table she would pile mounds of homemade sugar and gingerbread dough, and my friends and I would spend hours making cookies in all shapes […]
Let me start by saying that ice cream and iced coffee are two of my favorite things on the planet. So winter’s arrival always leaves me in a bit of a predicament: do I abandon icy treats until warmer temps arrive? It just doesn’t seem right. I know, I know, there’s nothing quite like strolling down the sidewalk during the […]
If you asked Instagram, 2016 could have been the year of the cheese board. And is it any surprise? Few culinary creations are as photogenic as a big wood cutting board brimming with colorful cheeses, fruits, meats (and lots more if you get creative), and I’ve got to admit, it’s a trend I don’t think I’ll get […]
If we’re being honest, this dessert is really more like a diorama than it is a fully developed recipe, but rest assured it is not lacking in flavor. I’ve been having a blast playing around with baking chocolate this holiday season (remember these salty chocolate-covered pretzels?), and recently, when we sat down to brainstorm how we could […]
Click here to read our full Entertaining With Candice Kumai story! This heavenly, aromatic, gluten-free tea cake makes it reminiscent of mochi, sweet desserts that are often used in Japanese cusine. It is perfect to serve this time of year. You can serve this cake sliced, or cut the loaf in half and create small squares for little snack […]
There’s nothing more healing than holiday baking. My favorite time of year is when the weather starts to drop and the Christmas lights come up, and everything about this cranberry ginger oat crumble puts me in the holiday spirit. It can easily be served for breakfast or dessert, and feel free to experiment with any fruit […]
I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Gummy candies and super sweet frosting have never done much for my palate, and really, the thought of biting through a Gusher or jelly bean makes me cringe. Instead, my caloric indulgences come in the form of savory foods like flaky pastry dough, buttery croissants, and lots of creamy cheeses. I will admit, […]
ed. note: As Thanksgiving approaches, we’ve been spotting tons of “slab pies” around the web and love their rustic look and (most of all) their ability to easily feed a crowd. We called in our go-to expert on all things pastry, chef Callie Speer, to share her most delicious slab pie recipe with a few tips on achieving […]

One of my favorite elements on the table at our wickedly gorgeous Halloween dinner party were the delicious and surprisingly healthy caramel apples that nixed the butter and sugar, but still felt like a major treat (because it is Halloween, after all.) The “caramel” sauce is made from medjool dates and coconut oil for the most addictive all-natural sweetness — a few of the girls loved this […]
I’m a little mystified as to why I haven’t experimented with chocolate bark before, because (a) it is ridiculously easy and so delicious, and (b) I’m not sure that I’ve ever had so much fun making a dessert! You can get real creative with throwing in all kinds of toppings (like I did here), marbling different […]
There’s nothing quite like the feeling I get when I bake my first fall recipe of the season. The gentle hum of the oven (a sound I haven’t heard in months, thanks to the Texas heat), the scent of warm, hearty spices wafting throughout the kitchen, and, if I’m lucky, an open window with a […]
My love affair with figs started just a few months ago after trying them for the first time (I know, late to the game) and now I’m doing my best to make-up for lost time by including them in just about everything I make — which is totally doable given their mildly sweet and versatile flavor. Not only are […]
September is a month of new goals and fresh starts, and for many of us, that holds just as true in the food and drink departments. Did anyone else feel like the last half of summer held a few too many opportunities for overindulgences? I definitely hit my limit over the Labor Day weekend with 3 days […]
