Cranberry Maple Syrup
The color of this breakfast condiment is brilliant magenta. It looks amazing on top of vivid orange pumpkin pancakes but is also quite fetching on a simple slice of french toast.

The Foodlife Journey: Savoring With My Eyes
I shot this my first time out with my camera at the Farmer's Market- mere days after my first conversation with Gil. This shot will always be dear to me because it demonstrated to me that maybe I could actually pull this whole photography thing off.

When I look at them, I think, “Wow. I shot that.” These photos are an important part of my own foodlife journey. Read more

We’ll be calling Larchmont, New York home in the beginning of December. After first putting offers on two other houses, we ended up in a “project” house. It was built in 1925 and retains many of the original charms of the era, such as single pane windows, poor insulation and a teensy, boxy little kitchen in a back corner of the house. The upside is that I can pretend that the tradesmen are my friends until I actually make real new friends. The location is fantastic. The community seems warm, relaxed and friendly. And we’re only 30 minutes from Manhattan! Read more
