TheSophisticatedGourmet: Another one from the market today (sorry, I couldn't help myself; they were so lovely!).
TheSophisticatedGourmet: More prettiness from earlier...
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Just tested many different chocolate bars from an amazing new chocolate company (I'll be writing about them very soon). This bar has pink peppercorns. Flippin' fantastic!
TheSophisticatedGourmet: This little beauty came in the mail today! Brilliant job, Jessie and @clarebarboza! So gorgeous!!
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Don't let the cuteness fool you; he's a trouble-maker.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Is it sad that I'm excited to have an excuse to wear these this week?
TheSophisticatedGourmet: experimenting.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Was a bit under the weather last week; feeling much better. Today started off with some granola from the book.

TheSophisticatedGourmet: Usually when I can't sleep during the middle of the night, I make ice cream. It's probably just me, but there's something so relaxing about the process that allows one to just breathe without worrying about a single thing in the world. Thoughtless repeti
TheSophisticatedGourmet: I've sat on many floors laid with table covers and canvas sheets throughout my life. I've always thought of this act as indoor picnicking and a way for us to get closer to the food and to one another. No heads of a table-- no wooden legs and corners to se
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Well-worn. After a few weeks, we've finally almost settled in after our move across town. I also finished the manuscript and photos for the book, and now I'm searching for another project to work on while everything else happens in the background (and ye
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Cinnamon sugar pretzels out of the oven, Challah bread in. I'm pretty sure I was nice little Jewish grandmother in one of my past lives.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: *S M A S H E D * Wild Blueberry Pie. It tasted damn good.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: One of the few things I don't share (unless I really like you, of course). I know no moderation when it comes to these cookies.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Absolutely in love with the light in our new place.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Made another Caribbean Princess Cake today.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Shot from the other day. Move update: my hands are as cut up and bruised as those of an extreme fighter. And my brain is completely fried. I really don't like moving. Thankfully I had some of these left to help soothe the pain. No milk as pictured, though
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Spent another day shooting photos and packing. We're moving in the morning, and I couldn't be more tired and sore. This is the Caribbean Princess Cake from the book (#HandMade). Not too shabby, I feel. #latergram
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Not pictured: me, seconds after this was shot, shoving a macaroon in my face. I'm easily satisfied.
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Time to bake these into a cake!
TheSophisticatedGourmet: Today was spent shooting photos for the book, writing, adjusting recipes, and packing. Next to washing dishes, packing might just be my least favorite activity. Well, back to my cave for me! I hope all of you are having a lovely weekend! #latergram
TheSophisticatedGourmet: //a soft bribe// A mid-week gift for my mom. I'd like to call it that, but it's more of a soft bribe than anything, to be completely honest. My family and I are moving in less than a week (a couple days before the manuscript and photos are due for the boo
TheSophisticatedGourmet: My workspace. This is where words are currently being spliced together from notes scratched onto post-its, napkins, paper bags, and the backs of envelopes. This is how this book was written. True story. #me #blurry
