This chocolate hazelnut spread is a decadent and silky smooth treat. It’s rich, chocolatey, nutty, and best of all: it's crazy easy to make at home. This chocolate hazelnut spread is essentially homemade Nutella, but if we’re honest, it’s a lot better than your standard store-bought jar of sugary chocolate nut spread. Ours is deeply chocolatey (thank you, gourmet cocoa powder) and surprisingly nutty. I’m shocked by how much the hazelnut flavor pops! The spread is sweet, but not sugary like frosting. It’s fragrant and decadent and silky smooth.  When chilled, this chocolate hazelnut sprea ..read more

The campari spritz is your summertime drink! It’s bubbly, icy, sweet, slightly bitter, and incredibly refreshing. Plus, it’s only 3 ingredients! On paper, it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but the Campari spritz is one of the most refreshing drinks out there. It’s ice-cold and bubbly, filled with juicy orange flavor and crisp Prosecco. I always used to worry the bitterness of Campari would take over the drink and ruin it for anyone who doesn’t just LOVE bitterness (like me).  But instead, it adds just enough backbone to the cocktail that you can’t help but go in for another sip. It’s sweet ..read more

This silky pea risotto combines the delicate pop of sweet peas with saucy rice, buttery onions, salty parmesan, and plenty of cracked pepper. It's all stirred together into a saucy, cozy, flavor-packed risotto. Whenever I’m developing recipes, I love to double down on different forms of the same ingredient to layer in flavor and focus the dish.  But in this case, I triple down: pea puree, whole peas, and fresh pea sprouts. They each bring different textures and a different type of pea-ness to the risotto. If you’re looking for a way to bring spring into the kitchen and brighten up y ..read more

This herb salad brings fresh herbs front and center in a simple, delicate, and surprising dish! You might be nervous about making a salad that almost entirely herbs, but don’t be! It’s all about balance. This salad is crispy, fresh, and layered with spicy, earthy, minty flavors. It’s a delicious twist on a salad that your friends and family will love. We toss the herbs with a few handfuls of baby lettuce for extra texture and to tame the herbiness of it all. A lemony vinaigrette adds extra freshness and, with a little bit of Ottolenghi genius, we mix in a blend of seeds for a salty crunch. Th ..read more

If you love spicy food, there’s nothing quite like chili crisp. It’s a crunchy, spicy condiment that’s the perfect balance of crispy bits and chili oil: just enough to spoon and slather all over your favorite foods.  The most alluring aspect of chili crisp is the complexity. It’s got so much more going on than your average hot sauce! Layers of umami thanks to dried mushrooms and peanuts, a numbing tingle from Sichuan peppercorns, warm spice like cinnamon and star anis, spicy spice from dried chiles, a touch of fermented funk (douchi magic!), and the most important part: those crispy, crun ..read more

The cantarito drink is our new all-time favorite summer cocktail. It’s a zesty tequila drink that’s bursting with lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit notes. It’s bubbly, light, and incredibly refreshing: the ideal summer drink! I love to serve this over a ton of crushed ice for an extra-cold and spritzy treat. But watch out! The tequila melds so well with the cold citrus juices that you won’t realize you’re drinking a full-strength cocktail.  It’s such a delicious cocktail, I hope you mix it up on the next sunny day out with your friends! What is a cantarito? A cantarito is a tequila-based ..read more

Our toasted coconut marshmallows are puffy, soft, pillowy morsels. We coat them in toasty bits of coconut for a coating that is a little chewy, a little crispy, and very flavorful. If you or a friend are coconut lovers, this is the candy for you! I love to add a little extra coconut flavor with the tiniest splash of coconut extract, but don't worry if you don’t have any-- the toasty coconut on the outside packs the biggest punch.

This luscious Dijon mustard chicken is scented with shallots, thyme, and the bite of two mustards. It’s silky, flavorful, and so simple! Dijon mustard chicken is a simple and elegant way to cook up juicy chicken breasts. We dust the chicken lightly in flour, brown it until golden and crispy, then build a flavorful mustard cream sauce in the pan. Gently simmer the sauce until it’s thickened, then return the chicken to soak up all of the flavor.  Serve it over a bed of rice or buttery egg noodles, then chop up the leftover chicken and serve it in a wrap! This chicken with mustard sauce is ..read more
