My (almost!) three-year-old daughter, Alba really loves doing kitchen projects with me. We do a baking or cooking project a couple times a week and we usually use it as an opportunity to learn something else – like the time we made Fairy Tea Cookies using edible flowers. This time it was all about pretending to be squirrels and storing food for the winter. Every time I am in the kitchen, she ...
Fairy Tea Party
I apologize for my long absence. Having a baby, starting a new company and adjusting to life with 2 small children at the same time has been hectic, to say the very least.

Through some personal struggles my resolve has become even stronger to ...

Creamy Coconut Pudding with Pomegranate Arils
I wasn’t sure about sharing this recipe, because it is against my ideals of cooking from scratch… I made this with boxed pudding…but don’t worry, it is ORGANIC!

She was making Thai green curry and I thought a nice coconut dessert would go well to finish off a lovely meal. Well, the ...
