Savory Green Galette
It has been an amazingly beautiful weekend in NYC. It was cold and crisp, with a bright blue sky, and the leaves are at that point where half are still green and the rest are all golden and red. I’d always missed the autumn color on the East Coast when I was living in London, … Continue reading
Oatmeal muffins
When I first got my own apartment in London, I requested a few things, American measuring cups and spoons, and a copy of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook.

Polpo’s Asparagus Risotto with Prosciutto
Last week I was in Venice for work for the preview of the 2013 Venice Biennale. I had wanted to go to the Venice Biennale since I knew what it was and, finally, I was getting to go. I had booked my flights from London months in advance and had dreamed of wandering through the … Continue reading
Steak and Mushroom Pie
A pie and a pint, the perfect end to a country walk, or simply the perfect thing for a rainy day in London (which is most days, to be honest). Ask a Brit what their favorite pie is and they will give you the name of a savory one; ask an American and they will … Continue reading
