Desserts in general were always my favorite part of a meal (still are!), and as a kid it was an awesome night when we had a homemade fruit tart and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert!

This illustration is meant to evoke the experience of synaesthesia, a joining or merging of senses that aren't normally connected, a harmless and slightly odd neurological phenomenon I've experienced since I was a kid (when the number 8 was always purple, the too-loud radio made it hard to see, and squares were boys.)

Sometimes I feel flavors as colors: sweet things are pastel soft, sour flavors are neon bright. Apricot streusel bars give you a little bit of both sweet and sour -- enjoy the rainbow!

Holiday Sweets! This boozy delicious cake is yummy and moist...but not for the kiddies!

A fully loaded vegetable based Tagine dish I discovered in a small alley restaurant on my first trip to Marrakesh. I liked the dish so much I had it 5 more times while I was there!

A traditional recipe from my country, Armenia!

Do you love smoothies as much as I do? I like to combine and experiment with ingredients because there is such a big variety of tasty vegetables, fruits, berries, nuts, leaves... such a big variety of colors and flavors! Yummy! Try out these rainbow smoothies!

Everyone loves Banana Bread but the addition of apricots makes it extra yummy and this is a family favourite!

My mother's recipe!

These yummy Danishes are quick and easy to make!

This "sweet porridge" is traditionally served in Armenia from New Year's Eve up to Christmas, which falls on January 6 in the Eastern tradition. Plan ahead, as it needs to thicken overnight.

I'm in love with this granola recipe because it turns one's kitchen into a sweet, herb-y aroma heaven. Adding a bit of rosemary/sage to the recipe lineup gives this chunky treat a little flavor depth and works great as a topping on just about everything (smoothies, yogurt, ice-cream, crumble). As always, be generous with the salt ;-)

Fruit Pie is the best especially when you use seasonal fruits!

Kolacky is a Polish cookie which my mom, sister, and I bake during the holidays. I wanted to convey a sense of warmth and lightheartedness in this recipe so the viewer could feel the mood in my mom's kitchen while we bake these delicious cookies!
