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 promised to share some of my culinary findings from my trip […]

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 […]

There seems to be a heat wave going on everywhere right now.  When I talk to my parents in Boston, my boyfriend's parents in Toronto, or relatives in Europe the topic of […]

It's true that there are lots of healthy benefits to be gained by eating tempeh which, if you're not familiar with the stuff, is made from fermented soybeans.  I always found both tofu and tempeh to be dry, bland, and lacking in flavor but I didn't want this to be the reason that I was […]
