A celebration of the flavors and textures of my summer garden.

Easy and homemade, fermented in a clay pot, and a versatile pantry item to transform your home cooking. Need I say more?

Alegrías, a traditional Mexican puffed amaranth candy, literally translates to “happiness,” That’s what I feel when I eat these nutritious treats I make with Pinole Blue Original Pinole mix!

Nutty, rich, complex, hot, and addicting. If I had to pick a favorite salsa it would easily be salsa macha!

When I don’t have all day to prep meals and have limited options to begin with, ingredients like this lemon confit add a ton of flavor and intrigue without much work.

My mind was blown when I experienced real Mexican vanilla bean for the first time. I showcase the aroma and flavor of this ingredient in a classic northern Italian dessert.
