On the road again…after a few lovely nights at Cheeca Lodge, we set sail (or rental car) farther south towards the end of the Keys. Our first stop was merely ten minutes away, but a must in the area, Robbie’s. An institution, Robbie’s is an eclectic mix of bar, restaurant, art gallery, and of course,…

Cranberry Almond Cake
Testing recipes for Christmas is a full time job, but worthwhile when you come into a recipe like this Cranberry Almond Cake, special enough for Christmas morning. This recipe usurps the place of my previous cranberry cake, which is still good, but not THIS good. File away for next month! Cranberry Almond Cake Almond Topping:…
Ina’s Ham & Leek Empanadas
Following the advice of Store Bought is Fine, I had to try Ina’s Ham and Leek Empanadas as a weekend alternative to her always delicious Savory Brekky Pastries. Un-Ina related, but he also suggested a ‘aji Amarillo’ sauce, that I adapted a bit because Switzerland and Latin ingredients don’t seem to mix. The results of…
Decimo at The Standard London
Reading about Decimo and it’s delicious Mexican delights of course had us booking in for brunch on our quick weekend jaunt to The Standard. The atmosphere truly has you transported to Tulum and the large spacious area seems to host lots of fun events like monthly salsa dancing. Open fire was everywhere from the dining…
Savory Dutch Brunch Baby
While the title of this recipe sounds highly cannibalistic, I assure you that it nothing but savory brunch goodness. I’ve seen these massive pancake recipes over the years, but haven’t managed to try my hand at one until now. Huge mistake. Should have whisked this up years ago! It satisfies a slightly carby, indulgent craving…
Quick Breakfast Quesadillas
One sunday morning reading about cooking quickly stirred my stomach and had me in the kitchen trying the latest Pinterest inspired breakfast quesadilla. It was fun to watch it all come together and was massively delicious to boot. We could have shared one as it was so loaded with toppings! (Naturally, I made two). Dump…
Smoked Salmon Rosti
Christmas charmingly came for a third round upon the return to Switzerland which began with a simple, but seemingly fancy breakfast aside the wee-est tree in the land. Champagne was served (of course) alongside smoked salmon rosti. Deceptively easy and fresh after two weeks of heavy holiday meals; I’ll definitely be making this one again….
Lago- Las Vegas
Wandering around Las Vegas, wondering what to do before my flight, I found myself in the Bellagio hotel and desperate and hungry for a nice meal before a 12 hour flight. After considering Spago, with quite a line at 11:00, I landed at Lago instead. Tucked to the side of the casino, the bar seating…
Ina’s Cacio e Pepe Eggs
Ms. Ina claims she makes cacio e pepe eggs for dinner parties of the ‘breakfast for dinner’ variety. While I find this somewhat hard to believe as this was exceptionally simple, they were a little more special than your usual scramble, so why not. I’ll buy it, like I’m off to buy some more Pecorino….
Blueberry-Lemon Yogurt Cake
My go-to coffee cake recipe received a small makeover this morning involving one lemon that really elevated the recipe a bit. It’s amazing how lemons make absolutely everything better. When life gives you lemons, toss them into a tried and true recipe.
Hashbrown Crust Quiche
Christmas this year saw the introduction of a beautiful new brunch creation that was as simple to make as it is colorful– hasbrown crust quiche! Made in a springform pan, it looks daringly more elegant and complicated than it actually is. She held together quite nicely when sliced! Hashbrown Crust Quiche For the crust: For…
