Handsome Coffee Roasters: Los Angeles
Hey good lookin’… Maybe you’ve seen me around? Yeah…I’m pretty into you. {swoon} I’ve been lucky enough to have Handsome Coffee Roasters in my life for a bit now. I live in a neighborhood where coffee culture has a strong, passionate, caffeine pounding heart and was first introduced at one of my favorite little spots...
Popin’ Cookin’: DIY Japanese Candy Kits
I have been in love with all things Japanese since…well forever. Particularly the packaging and advertising design. That country knows what it’s doing and can make even the most dastardly items a precious impulse buy. Everything is just so RIDICULOUSLY cute! The mister literally has to throw me over his shoulder and haul me away...
Mo’ MoVida: Melbourne Gets Spanish
Over the last few years I’ve started to see a massive shift with the types of photos and souvenirs I collect while traveling. Food. It’s all about the food. What it looked like, what it tasted like, if there is a cookbook associated with it and if we can replicate the experience once we’re back...
Gourmet Glossies
I get just as giddy as the next subscriber when I see the latest F&W or Bon Appetite waving at me in the mailbox… but lately there have been some new surprises added to my magazine stack. I’m not talking about your typical newsstand, heavy bounded food periodicals. I’m talking about independent publications that are...

Food Crush: Test Kitchen LA
Have you ever wished there was a restaurant with guest chefs on permanent rotation? I did. Years ago I bounced around the idea of a kitchen lab with friends where chefs from around the world would spend an evening or two showcasing their specialties. They said it would never work. No one buys “tickets” to...
Food Crush: Mr. Oliver
Oh Jamie Oliver, bless your little sweet and savory heart. It’s no secret that I claim you as my culinary beau. The Mr. has to listen to me croon over “At Home” re-runs and squeal that you too love the salad spinner. That we absolutely must try to make your wild mushroom such and so...
Food Crush: Luxirare
Honestly. I don’t even know where to begin here. Maybe if I could stop drooling and pick myself off the floor I could articulate how breathtakingly stunning Luxirare is. Part lux fashion, part fine cuisine. The photos are sexy and exotic. The execution is meticulous (hello dry ice smoke!?). Everything sounds delicious (especially the crab...
Food Crush: gattobravo
Holy cute town! I recently stumbled across gattobravo on a google image search and boy oh boy am I glad! Never have pen and marker doodles so deliciously captured a moment… the blog documents places to eat, meals enjoyed and the occasional fabulous lady in a trench coat or drink in hand. Love!
Cheat Sheet
There are A LOT of ugly aprons out there. I understand that not everyone can be as lucky and have their family’s tuxedo apron passed down to them (Scottish plaid cummerbund anyone?). I also understand that it is necessary to have something to stop the splattering of oil onto your spiffiness. As you know, I’m...
