You'll love this authentic Greek dish. Avgolemono is no ordinary soup. It is a silky and rich chicken broth with rice, heavily scented with lemon. Extremely delicious!

Simple, yet magically satisfying: this recipe for a Dutch baby pancake is dear to me as it was the impetus for the creation of a Friday breakfast party for friends and family.

This recipe was passed down to me by my aunt, and is meaningful to me because she shared it with me at a time where I didn't understand the importance of eating healthy, whole meals. This recipe is warming, very nutritious, and easy to make. If you make it, please enjoy:)

A hearty appetizer for a fun party of friends! This can be prepped beforehand and can be enjoyed on your Mediterranean themed evening. Mezze also known as Greek tapas, is small dishes of savoury snacks served as compliment to drinks, with large variety of chips and dips, cheeses, fresh vegetables and nuts.

I grew up with my dad on the Jersey Shore and frequently would go to the beach and order a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich! I combined this memory with getting bagels every morning at summer camp and came to the perfect culmination of the most wonderful sun-soaked memories. Enjoy!

I am a sophomore at SCAD and this is my Design 105 "show me how" final project! Savor and enjoy!

My sister brought this amazing version of "macaroni and cheese" back with her from Germany, and it is the ultimate comfort food! It's simple and absolutely delicious! She uses Emmental cheese, but if you can't find that in your local grocery store (I usually cannot) gruyere or swiss are still delicious options!

Brown rice adds fiber! Healthy and easy recipe. Gluten free!

My Grandmother was an exceptional baker. There was always some tasty treat being created in her kitchen, using local ingredients, fruit from the garden, and always a big pot of tea on the go.
One of my favourites, amongst others, was her excellent Victoria Sponge Sandwich, a staple in their house, and the perfect addition to a huge cup of tea for a typical English late afternoon supper.
She would bake, wireless blaring out various songs of the hour, the beaded kitchen curtain tapping gently in the breeze, as my Grandfather hopped over the garden fence, back from work on the farm for his midday dinner. The kitchen was always adorned with a vase of freshly cut flowers from the garden, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My happy place and definitely my happy meal all rolled into one.

My Happy Meal with a limited colour palette.
My Happy meal has always been brunch, because you can combine hot & cold dishes and sweet & savoury - and with friends, because they make me happy.

Sunday breakfast with pouched egg toast, burrata caprese and orange juice. I can absolutely eat this combination every sunday till I die.

Just a super easy, flour-free cookie recipe which just happens to be my favorite to make at a moment’s notice. I sometimes add a packet of oatmeal or a rounded tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal. The cookies come out of the oven soft but then get a little harder and remain easy to bite into and break in two. I like to store them in a cookie tin, but they don’t store for long. These go as fast as they are quick to make!

Making blueberry pancakes drizzled with maple syrup is a Saturday tradition in our house. Put the radio on and stack 'em high!

Ramen is one of my favorite comfort foods. The utter warmth and unique flavors never fail to put me at ease. I wanted to showcase that feeling, and so I created this fun illustration.

A very easy recipe yet very delicious Oyakodon, one of my favorite Japanese Food. Basically you can use any meat or garnish from your refrigerator and just put it in one pan, but soy sauce and mirin is the game changer! so make sure you have one in your kitchen :)
