Genève’s Kitchen

It was a cold and stormy Sunday so made for a perfect night to invite friends over to the orphanage for family supper.  I'm staying with my friend Rachel and Mara is in town as well so we've taken to calling the cozy apartment the orphanage as it's offering us refuge from various things.  We [...]

I'm staying with my friend Rachel in the West Village in NYC and we decided to host a little party – fall being our inspiration.  Over the summer when I had been in NY Rachel had taken me to an amazing restaurant in the neighborhood called, The Little Owl.  We had the most incredible meal [...]

I wrote this post back in May when I was in the midst of cooking classes, the stage at a restaurant, and working at sweetriot .  Things haven’t really slowed down but I’m finally getting back to blogging and have finished this post!  (Only took a few months!) Booya-baisse My busy schedule has precluded me [...]

Time for another video! If you’re reading this in email or RSS, please click through to view it!

As you may have discerned from my many posts for fish dishes – I love seafood.  I usually have fish about three times a week – at least.  Every now and again though I crave a delicious bit of meat.  One of my favorite preparations is grilled filet of beef with herb butter.  I love [...]

Jamie Oliver is one of the first chefs who really, really inspired me.  The type of food that he cooks, the ingredients he uses, and his easy no-nonsense methods come together to produce artful, creative, and delicious dishes.  I can vouch for the delicious part because I've tried a number of his recipes and I've [...]

I love salads and one accompanies most dinners that I prepare.  I love to enjoy my salad after the main course as I find it to be a lovely finish to the meal.  My everyday dressing is simple and fast but I have to admit that making other variations are pretty simple too and they [...]

Little can go wrong when there's chocolate involved.  This is probably the same thought process my boyfriend employed when he bought me Brownie Points by Lisa Slater – a cookbook containing over 100 brownie recipes.  (Either that or he just wanted me to start baking him brownies.)    Aptly, the first recipe that I decided to [...]
