My favorite summer pasta, ft sweet sungold tomatoes, jammy shallots, salty parmesan cheese, and LOTS of butter.

This salad is richer than all of us. She's stunning, she's sophisticated, she is the main character.

Quick, simple, cheap, yet delicious appetizer. Literally what more could you ask for.

This is the king of all comfort foods in my opinion. It also happens to be my favorite pasta to serve at a dinner party. Here are my reasons: You can braise the short ribs the night before so less cooking stress the day of. The pasta allows you to stretch the beef to feed […]

This dish has all of the flavors and textures of your traditional chicken parm, but with a summer twist. Chicken is first marinated in a sweet but savory homemade Italian Vinaigrette, which tenderizes the chicken and also imparts TONS of flavor. Seriously, you’ll be doing this to all of your grilled chicken moving forward. Then, […]

As I pack my bags (so many bags) ahead of my long anticipated return to NYC, I’ve developed a new appreciation for my favorite kitchen basics. A really great knife, a pan that does everything, multi-purpose deli containers, and the pantry items that I couldn’t live with out. Chef’s Knife As a home cook, you […]

An old school dish that I LOVED as a child. Ironically, when I was a kid I was an extremely picky eater. The only foods I would eat with out protest were pasta and broccoli. Thus, my mom’s broccoli cavatelli was like the holy grail of dinners. I wanted to remake that dish while taking […]

Also known as vongole, this is one of my all-time favorite dishes. It cooks up super quick and makes for a perfect summer dinner.

My favorite fish recipe. If you can’t find black cod, substitute with any firm white fish.

I decided to partake in the coffee shop trend and made various baked goods that embody my ideal cafe menu. Starting with “Millie’s Maple Buns”. My family’s dog Millie was born in Vermont, hence the maple, and these buns are almost as big and fluffy as she is.

Loosely inspired by patatas bravas, this dish combines the delicious flavors of a red pepper based sauce and a garlic aioli and applies them to a tuna tartare (confirming the dish in the photo is missing the aioli, pls ignore). Normally, the red pepper sauce wouldn’t be spicy, but like I said, this dish is […]

This recipe is inspired by the infamous Spaghetti al Limone served at Lil’ Frankies in the East Village. I love this pasta for many reasons, one being how simple it is. The ingredient list is small and it can be done in under 20 minutes. Since we are using so few ingredients, I encourage you […]

Everyone’s favorite low-maintenance summer side dish. I intentionally made this recipe with only 4 ingredients because summer is about being as unfussy as possible. Less time in the kitchen = more time sitting in the sun drinking wine. This side is extremely versatile in that it’s relatively neutral in flavor, so it will pair well […]
