Provençal Brunch (with a few Chic Shortcuts)
This brunch was inspired by the magic of Provence in the summer. It’s elegant but unfussy, layered with soft herbs, sun-warmed stone fruit, and a few shortcuts that still feel chic. Because honestly? Most of us aren’t hosting with a team of prep cooks. And we shouldn’t need one. There’s something magical about Provence in…

Spanakopita
UPDATED JULY 2025* Last spring we spent some time in Greece and every day I had a Leek Pie (prasopita). They are so delicious. I was meaning to make Leek Pie for my Taverna Chic Dinner Party but I ended up not getting enough leeks. Happy accident, I cooked them anyways and threw them into…

French Onion & Gruyère Pizza
I love cooking from scratch but store bought pizza dough is a shortcut I’m all over. We do pizza night at least once a week and I think this method is pretty perfect. For my recent French themed party, I was inspired by the flavours of the south and the traditional Pissaladière, a pizza like…

Lemon Meringue Tart
I’m thinking that this is the perfect dessert. Sweet & tart with a crispy cookie like crust. If I’m comparing it to store bought LM pie or the kind our Moms and grandmas made (homemade… but in my case, was really just made at home from a box), this is lighter and the lemon curd…

Zucchini Spice Cake
Another olive oil based loaf cake recipe. I’m cooking and baking to cope and get through these days but I’m also trying to be mindful and making and creating recipes that can be frozen and stretched out. Like my Pantry Chocolate Cake & Banana Bread this recipe will freeze very well. If you’ve got a…
