Maple-Lacquered Duck Breast
A few of my favorite things - duck, a little sweet, a little spicy, a little citrus. And simple - really this comes together in a snap. And as an extra added bonus you get to use the word lacquered. One simply does not get to say lacquered often enough.

Maple Chipotle Roast Pork Tenderloin
A Pork Tenderloin roasting in Maple and Chipotle is what bacon in heaven must smell like. I love that this is a no-bowl recipe that comes together easily.

Apple Cinnamon Butter
7:45am is one of my favorite times of the day. I’ll soon be on the subway headed for midtown Manhattan. Until then, I make this apple cinnamon butter recipe.

Tartine Bakery's Lemon Cream
This lemon cream recipe takes the traditional lemon curd process and reverses it, not only saving time, but producing something better, smoother, and lighter.
Seriously Intense Hot Chocolate
Do we really need an excuse to eat chocolate? I don’t. And you don't. Let me share with you a really dark thick and seriously intense hot chocolate recipe.

Two Potato Cutlets with Mint and Cumin
This potato cutlets recipe is my own. I mix sweet potato and regular potato to create a nutty sweet flavour that is very popular with kids and grown-ups alike!

Sinful Roasted Acorn Squash
I love to eat acorn squash during the fall. While it is delicious roasted with just a bit of salt and pepper, it's nice to add a bit of flair every once in a while . . .

Ginger, Lemon, and Agave Yogic Tea
This agave tea recipe not only aides in digestion, but it is a refreshing hot tea, which I find to be a rarity. Perfect for any season and warm or cold.

I am always looking for ways to reinvent dishes into cutesy bite-size appetizer form, and this Goat Cheese and Beet Hors D'Oeuvres recipe works perfectly.

Chocolate-Covered Potato Chips with Coconut, Chile Powder, & Toasted Almonds
This recipe literally came to me in a dream. Cover your potato chips in melted chocolate, dip in shredded coconut, and season with chile powder and cinnamon.
Rosemary and Brown Sugar Roasted Parsnips
I love dishes that offer a sweet and savory flavor combination! And, I love parsnips. While they are wonderful roasted simply with just olive oil and salt, the addition of rosemary and brown sugar takes a basic roast up a notch, to something with a bit more complexity and nuance. These are delicious as a side dish or even just a hearty snack.
Fragrant Kumquat Marmalade
Adapted from the recipe for Kumquat Marmalade in Alice Waters' book Chez Panisse Fruit, I used my favorite white wine as the cooking liquid. It smells amazing.

Candied orange pecans with bourbon
Had a bunch of leftover booze from our wedding and created this using bourbon

Chocolate Tangerine Curd
I used Rose Levy Beranbaum's recipe for lemon curd as the base for this recipe. The resulting curd is balanced between rich chocolate and sweet-tart tangerines.
Orange Skin Juice (Orange Peel Juice)
Orange peels add nutrition to your OJ. This recipe utilizes a part of the orange that would normally go to waste. This orange juice skin recipe is delicious!

Creamy Vegan Parsnip Soup
I love blended vegan soup recipes that are rich in flavor. And parsnip--I love them braised with whiskey and butter--and now I love them blended, too!

Vanilla-Caramel Soda
Acting on a recent craving for something fizzy and sweet, I made my own vanilla caramel syrup recipe to add to seltzer for a soda with customizable sweetness.

SAGE HONEY CHICKEN WITH A WALNUT CRUST
My favorite kind of recipe that uses just 5 ingredients and is ready for the spotlight in about 35 minutes for a great dinner. Try this Honey Sage Chicken!

Brandied Cranberries
These are great on their own, as a salad topping, or in cocktails. I love to make a Cranhattan using the brandy liquer the berries soak in. Just replace the sweet vermouth in with the soaking liquid, and garnish with the cranberries.

Halloumi, Cranberry and Stuffing Bites
As a Christmas hors d'oeuvre, these are (veggie) Christmas on bread. I was inspired by a sandwich I had in a deli, Munchies, in Dublin. The saltiness of the halloumi is delicious with the cranberry sweetness and the stuffing adds further flavour. These work best with ciabatta bread but you can use what you have. I homemake the cranberry sauce using Jamie Oliver's recipe and buy the stuffing ready made in the supermarket.

Five-minute Cranberry Schmutz
I threw this together with what I had on hand on Thanksgiving morning this year. Alongside a Thanksgiving (or Christmas) turkey or smeared on sandwiches, this five-minute, four ingredient cranberry schmutz was a little tart, a little sweet, and exactly perfect. I’m putting a little schmutz on a pumpkin muffin for breakfast, too. If there were ever a reason to stop sliding that factory cranberry sludge out of a can, this is it.
Mocha (Chocolate Coffee) Bark
The dark Chocolate is marbled with the white chocolate, which has ground Coffee in it. Besides being pretty this Bark recipe also taste really good.
