Illustrated apple varieties, my top faves! #1 is granny smith, then pink lady, jazz, braeburn, and fuji. They are all so tasty, which is your favorite?

One of my favorite places to escape New York City's hectic pace was "The Peacock", an Italian coffee house in the West Village. With Puccini playing in the background they served bracing coffee and soothing chamomile tea with tasty desserts made from scratch by a middle-aged waitress named Virginia. Her apple torte was incredible! Eventually Virginia and I became friends. One day, I asked her how she made the torte. Virginia modestly shared her mouth-watering recipe, reminding me to always top it off with fresh whipped cream!

An easy and tasty breakfast treat!

Mr. Elf shares his recipe for the holidays.

A family favorite for the holidays—or for any time—as a flavorful and festive accompaniment to turkey or beef. Cranberries, oranges, apples, and nuts combine for a satisfying salad or relish.

Southern Fried Apples for the Global Cuisine Challenge.
This winter recipe comes from my part of the world, the mountains of the Southern USA. These sweet fried apples are an easy and comforting dish to whip up on a cold evening, and the cinnamon gives them a warm holiday flavor. Our family loves to eat them as a side dish to pork, roasted vegetables, or bacon and eggs. I created this illustrated recipe with watercolor, oil pastels, colored pencil, and digital media. The title lettering was created by my mom Shelley in watercolor, ink, and digital media, and was inspired by the iconic print shop Hatch in Nashville, TN.

Favorite Food Memories: My mom and I would make pies from scratch during the holidays. Making a pie was such a memorable activity for me being a creative child. Getting to make a mess with my hands in the kitchen and creating a yummy desert was just fantastic! I have fond memories of my mom teaching me her recipe. Even though I ended up being more of a cook than a baker, making pies is something I feel confident baking thanks to my Mom.
