Bring It Back

remember when i used to post about food all the time? it was a way for me to satiate my inner fat kid, which isn’t much of a problem anymore- i’m writing from a city where bread, cheese, and wine are the three main food groups. however, i had to share this oh-so-french arrangement by sunday suppers, one of my favorite food styling and photography blogs . . .

fruit, sharp cheeses, crusty baguettes and. . . honeycomb? somewhat unexpected, but it sounds like a parfait combination to me.

Superior Suppers

loving how sunday suppers pairs photos of fresh and seasonal dishes with lovely flowers and place settings. . .

. . . like this berry consomme with lemon champagne sorbet . . .

. . . . tagliatelle with young garlic, asparagus, and mushrooms. . .

. . . roast chicken sandwich on a baguette with truffle fries . . .

. . . buttermilk biscuits with jam butters + a honeyed fig and lavender crostata . . .

Sugar and Spice

. . . and everything nice, that’s what gingerbread is made of. this sweetly spiced treat can brighten up any chilly day . .  .

in pancake form, topped with candied ginger . . .

. . . upside-down pear-gingerbread cake . . .

. . . gingerbread waffles with tart sour cream and lingonberry preserves . . .

. . . pumpkin-gingerbread ice cream . . .

. . . chocolate gingerbread drizzled with a dark chocolate ganache icing . . .

. . .  or just gingerbread, served with a dollop of whipped cream and a hot cappucino.

Turkeyish Delight

thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year- what’s not to love about a day that is centered around food? here are unique translations of a few classic dishes, like . .  .

turkey (here, roasted with black truffle butter and white-wine gravy)

stuffing (with chestnuts, celery, apples, and leeks)

cranberry sauce (try this cranberry, quince, and pearl onion compote instead)

mashed potatoes (or a parsnip purée with sautéed brussels sprouts leaves)

sweet potatoes (roasted sweet potato rounds with garlic and fried sage)

pumpkin pie (spiced pumpkin souflé with bourbon molasses sauce)

(all images via gourmet magazine)

have a great thanksgiving, everyone! see you on monday . . .

We Go Together Like…

piping hot soup and crusty bread on a cold, blustery autumn day . . .

. . . seafood gumbo and buttermilk fantails . . .

. . . tuscan turkey soup and georgian cheese bread . . .

. . . classic chicken noodle soup and garlic herb twists . . .

. . . asparagus ravioli in a parmesan broth and rye dinner rolls . . .

Fall Favorites

As the temperatures continue to drop, I’ve found myself craving the flavors that I associate with fall. Here are a few sweet autumnal treats that I’d love to indulge in (click images for original sources and copyright information):

banana pumpkin pancakes topped with freshly sliced bananas, syrup, and candied pecans

spiced bread flavored with mild honey, molasses, walnuts, and fine candied fruit

layers of caramel, pecans, caramelized apples, cheesecake, and whipped cream in a graham cracker crust

warm upside-down pear gingerbread cake paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

glazed apple streusel muffins- the perfect companion for a latte

spiced chai cupcakes with a honey-cinnamon buttercream frosting
