I have been planning my big Moroccan dinner for months, and talking about hosting it for almost a year now! I bought a hand built tagine (stay tuned for tagine recipes and guides!) and a beautiful Moroccan copper Couscousier. Everyone that knows me knows how much I love to cook on traditional copper and tin…

How to Steam Moroccan Couscous
We have all seen couscous on menus and blue apron orders, but that is not real couscous, real couscous is steamed and raked with love! I was making a big couscous dish in preparation for my Moroccan dinner later this month, and wanted to share with you the proper way to steam couscous in a…
Fresh Mozzarella with Blood Orange, Coriander and Mint
The caprese salad is a legend, I can rarely resist one on any menu, especially when it comes with mozzarella di buffalo or a heavenly burrata, but sometimes you want to branch out with your flavors! When I was in London in April, I HAD to go to NOPI, Yotam Ottolenghi’s beautiful restaurant. All of…

Raspberry and Cream Cheese Hand Pies
These babies were developed for my New Orleans Dinner, but I planned way too many desserts, so I haven’t served them to a large crowd until our Memorial Day Steak and Cake Cookout on Monday. What makes this pastry special is the sweet pastry crust that is used. I generally prefer a simple pastry flour…
Trio of Sauces – Peach Confiture, Aioli, and Cilantro Chutney
I think its evident that I don’t like to plan average cookouts! With very few exceptions, boxed foods are not even allowed in my home. I try to make my own everything, and if I don’t, I generally reach out to a reputable seller that makes products in house. Our lovely guests brought all of…
