Look at the beauty that arrived on my doorstep today. #saltfatacidheat prints by @wendymac and @ciaosamin These watercolor drawings bring me such joy. I can't wait to now surround myself with them at home! . . . . . . #saltfatacidheatcookbook #saltfatacidheatprints #illustrations

Everyone asks how I'm handling Indiana winters after four years in Phoenix. I'm fine with the cold, but it's seeing the list of what's in season in the newest edition of @ediblephoenix that arrived in my mailbox today that really makes me miss Arizona "winter." 🏜🍊🍆🥕 or 🥔🥔☃️❄ . . . . . #ediblephoenix #localfood #whatsinseason #Michiana #phoenix #PHX #eatlocal #eatlocalphx #farmersmarkets #Phoenixeats #localPhoenix #localphx

Birthday weekend night two: Airbnb Charcuterie featuring lots of @vermontcreamery cheeses and random accompaniments from @potashmarkets. @kphx72 . . . . . . #charcuterie #nosh #noshboards #cheese #cheeses #eats #eveningeats #yumyum #friendsnight

These wonderful people traveled all the way from Phoenix to Chicago for my birthday; that's incredible. I'm grateful to them for the laughter and care they bring to my life. #Repost @kphx72 • • • • • Happy Birthday, Marlys! #shewords #shethepeople #shethepeoplesc @thesecondcity @shethepeoplesc

I haven't posted nearly as many #Cook90 posts as I did last January and that's largely because I have not been rocking it like I did last year. I've had to forgive myself for not planning ahead as well or for not challenging myself like I did in last January's #cook90challenge. It's been a lot more bowls of grain+veggie+eggs (and goat cheese in what's pictured above). Here's to trying to do more planning and more intentional #cooking the second half of January! . . . . . . . . #2019cook90 @davidtamarkin @epicurious #epicurious #cookitathome #homecooking #quinoabowl #broccoli #bowl #grainbowl #eggs #cooking #cook #eatathome #homechef #homecooked #homecook #cookingram #grainbowls #eatwellbewell #eating #healthyfood

First attempt at #gnocchi: too large, uneven sizes and shapes, uneven texture, but still very delicious! Followed #chrisbianco @pizzeriabianco's recipe for crispy gnocchi with spring onions and goat cheese crema. Expecting the next attempt to be even better! #biancocookbook . . . . . . . #cookitathome #Cook90challenge #goodfood #homemadedeliciousness #homemadefood #homemadepasta #homemadegnocchi #Bianco #makeitathome #eatathome #foodwithflavor #foodporn #pasta

A cooking first: last night I battered and fried lemon slices for butternut squash with buckwheat polenta and tempura lemon. I was a bit skeptical about fried citrus, but it was delicious!

It's just about #Cook90 time! Who else is cooking 90 of their meals this January through the @epicurious #Cook90challenge with @davidtamarkin? Read about #whyicook90 through the link in my bio. 🥘🍲🥗🍳 TLDR: It's made me WAY more confident in the kitchen. . . . . . . #cookitathome #cooktherainbow #cookingchallenge #cookbook #cookbooks #cook #cooking #cookathome #eattherainbow🌈 #eattherainbow #eatathome #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfoodmostlyplants #eatgoodfood #eats

Leeks can be the focus of their own dish and it can be delicious! Sweet and sour leeks, topped with onion, @capriolegoatcheese, currants, and parsley. Christmas Eve meal also featured "sort of Waldorf" salad, raw beet and herb salad, and harissa sirloin with pepper sauce, all recipes from #Ottolenghicookbooks. Wonderful accompaniments to a day of laughter, sharing, and game playing. I hope you've also experienced as much joy this week. . . . . . . . #OttolenghiRecipes #ottolenghicookbook #ottolenghigroupies #OttolenghiSimple #Ottolenghi #leeks #veggies #vegfocused @shop.ottolenghi @ottolenghi #PlentyMore #plentymorecookbook #yoplentymore #ottolenghiplentymore #Christmasmeal #ChristmasEve #makeitathome #eattherainbow #eattherainbow🌈 #eatgoodfeelgood #salad #salads #yotamottolenghi

Probability I'll watch #BridgetJonesBaby: 1% Probability I'll make #BridgetJonesSalmon again: 💯% According to the text in #OttolenghiSimple, in the movie, Patrick Dempsey's character tells Renee Zellweger's character this is the dish he would get for her at an #Ottolenghi restaurant. So, the Ottolenghi crew went ahead and crafted the recipe for the real world to enjoy! Yes, I posted these yesterday, but this dish was so #simple and so delicious (and the photos are so nice), it deserved its own post. . . . . . . . #YotamOttolenghi #OttolenghiSimple #cookOttolenghi #YOinspired #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghigroupies #Ottolenghicookbooks #OttolenghiRecipes #cookitathome #homecook #pinenuts #ottolenghicookbook #bridgetjones

Hateful discourse has largely driven me off of Facebook. Even groups where I was expecting to find people uplifting others (a few dedicated to living plastic-free or lower waste come to mind) were filled with negativity. But there is one Facebook group that has been a sanctuary in the chaos: a private Yotam Ottolenghi-inspired group of cooks from around the world. Each year wraps up with a holiday gift exchange; preserved lemons and rose harissa traveling around the world. Grateful to my #YOfriend for sending me the most recent #Ottolenghi release and excited for a year of more online community. Already made several recipes, including the Bridget Jones's Pan-Fried #Salmon with Pine Nut Salsa. It was #delicious, as I expected. (Thanks for organizing the exchange, @culyzaar!) . . . . . . . . #YotamOttolenghi #OttolenghiSimple #cookOttolenghi #YOinspired #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghigroupies #Ottolenghicookbooks #OttolenghiRecipes #cookitathome #homecook #bridgetjonessalmon #pinenuts #ottolenghicookbook
