The good news about sharing a kitchen with my mother is that I get to ask her questions. Don't ask me why I never noticed some of these things before, but a ...

I absolutely love feeding people, which is why I love hosting dinner parties and in fact why I became a caterer. But it always leaves me with the two things ...

My sister has this theory that the foods people tend to rave about (the things that we enjoy the most) have the least number of ingredients. I've had that ex...

There's a tradition in Haitian cooking to basically create a homemade rub based on spices that are commonly used. I suppose it makes sense given that more of...

When I think about meatballs, I usually associate them with pasta and marinara sauce. However, that's not the only way to serve them. I didn't have them very...

This week's recipe is still a work in progress. Not that it's bad (I promise never to post anything I wouldn't eat myself), but I'm just not sure it's perfec...

I've always wished that I could get excited about eating plain veggies. Wouldn't it be great if eating a bag of carrot sticks could delight as much as a straw...

I was quite proud of myself this week. It's still cold, and I really wanted to make Bouyon (Haitian Beef Stew). I had been looking for a recipe for quite som...

📷 We got a little snow yesterday! My dog Ruby had the chance to experience snow for the first time, and she loved it as much as I do. My friends in NY would...

📷 Not sure if anyone noticed, but it's been a while since my last post. I had originally planned on creating a post with my Super Bowl party menu and provid...

I am a fan of football. I don't get to watch a lot of games, but I keep track of what's going on during the season, and I am always guaranteed to watch the S...

This week's recipe takes a little break from the Haitian recipes so I can give you one of my favorite American dishes: chili. I've been a little strapped for...

When I'm cooking, it's true that I am usually making Haitian food. That's not to say I don't like other cuisines or that I only make Haitian food. For me, it...

My posts so far have been about dinner parties and the food I tend to serve to my guests. Part of me thinks it would be great if life was always that much fu...

In last week's post, I mentioned that I don't know my wine, and to be fair, I'm not much a connoisseur of alcohol in general. However, there is one special H...

I have a confession: I don't know much about wine. This was mostly a non-issue for me before moving to Seattle because most of my friends and family in NY di...

📷 Dessert was a rare thing growing up. I'm not sure if it's just because my mom doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, if it was more that she doesn't like to ...

My best friend is in town! In addition to all the fun we’re going to have and sights we’re going to see, it also means an opportunity to feed people. I may h...

📷 One of my all-time favorite party foods is Griot (Haitian fried pork). Not only do I love the flavor, but since it was generally only served at parties, f...
