The most delicious of cakes, a Love Cake

03/14/202003/14/2020 / Mita / Leave a comment

Every year for my in-laws birthdays, when I can, I try to make a cake. I make the same cake. One that I came across a few years back, first called a "Persian Love Cake." I'm a bit uncomfortable as I'm not 100% sure where the name cake from. I've read that it was made … Continue reading The most delicious of cakes, a Love Cake

Weekend Words #3 and Almond Butter Bars

10/12/2019 / Mita / Leave a comment

I had a cold recently...and like a good mother, I passed it on to my daughter. Right before she got on a plane. With just her father. For 6 hours. Yikes. Her first cold, in a tin box, 6 miles up in the sky. Well then. A few weeks (months?) ago We went to Pinnacles … Continue reading Weekend Words #3 and Almond Butter Bars

Weekend Words #2 and Almond Snickerdoodle Cookies

06/30/201906/30/2019 / Mita / Leave a comment

Transitioning from night work to day work is a tough cookie, and I'm not just saying that as a clever transition into my upcoming cookie recipe. I've been at this residency business for three years now (3/4 done!) for three years now, and it doesn't get easier. If anything, it gets harder. You start out … Continue reading Weekend Words #2 and Almond Snickerdoodle Cookies

Orange Blossom and Nutmeg Love Cake

06/03/201606/03/2016 / Mita / 1 Comment

I'm a lazy baker sometimes. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to bust out the stand mixer, pull out a bunch of different ingredients, and make deliciousness happen. I just want deliciousness to...happen. Those days I go to Sofra bakery and chow down on some desserts. But on the days I don't mind putting in … Continue reading Orange Blossom and Nutmeg Love Cake

Miso Baked Tofu with Shiitake and Bell Pepper Saute

05/30/2016 / Mita / 2 Comments

As a vegetarian, tofu is one of my go-to easy canvases to start a dish with. It's protein-packed, easy, and you can put a lot of different flavors on the tofu to color it. A lot of people say they don't really like tofu, or hate how it tastes; if you think of it as … Continue reading Miso Baked Tofu with Shiitake and Bell Pepper Saute

Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch

04/29/201604/29/2016 / Mita / 1 Comment

Brunch is fun...it's even funner if you can make it under 45 minutes. Seriously -- when you have people over, it's key to make sure you're not in the kitchen the whole time. It's part of why I love this recipe, and my easy vanilla-almond baked french toast: fast, delicious, and you won't have to … Continue reading Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch

Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad

04/27/2016 / Mita / 3 Comments

Spring is upon us! Finally -- colorful foods, sunshine, jogging outside, not wearing seven layers indoor and pounding tea like it's your job! Spring. It's a happy time. Especially for food. You finally can put away those hot soups, stews, chilis, pasta bakes, and switch to delicate salads, with myriad colors and sharp flavors. After … Continue reading Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad

Sun-dried tomato and Basil Baked Ricotta

04/25/2016 / Mita / Leave a comment

Date nights are important. I talk to Tyler regularly, but it's not the same as sitting down on a designated day, with some food that's a little different than usual, maybe drinks that are a little different, maybe music that's a little different, and letting conversation wander. Nine years in, and I cannot express the value … Continue reading Sun-dried tomato and Basil Baked Ricotta

Yogurt Pie with Brown Butter Almond Crust (Gluten Free)

04/15/2016 / Mita / Leave a comment

So this is what we came home to the other day. She knew right away when we walked in that she was in trouble. Her head was down, her tail was just wagging at the tip, and she tried to hide in the stairwell in our entry way. I  thought she was just being cute...until … Continue reading Yogurt Pie with Brown Butter Almond Crust (Gluten Free)

Avocado-Cilantro Crema

04/13/201604/13/2016 / Mita / 2 Comments

My family loves Mexican-inspired food. Growing up we had it at least once a week. Tacos were a long time favorite in my house -- my mom would do some variation of tortillas, beans, cheese, and veggies. When I tell people this most are like, oh cool, and some are just aghast, asking how I could … Continue reading Avocado-Cilantro Crema
