Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins: My Lifelong Breakfast Story

February 22nd, 2012

When my parents and I moved from Russia first to Israel, and then to the United States, our relatives said goodbye to us knowing there was a very real possibility they’d never see us again. At the time, technologies like Skype didn’t exist and Russia had a strict “get out and don’t come back” policy. [...]

Guest Post: Shrimp Etouffée by Amanda Areias of Give Me Flour (Mardi Gras Edition)

February 20th, 2012

I’ve been a huge fan of Amanda’s beautiful site, give me flour, for some time now. Her writing makes me want to travel to her homeland of Brazil, which she reminisces about often. And her photography, well, it speaks for itself. From gorgeous desserts to breads and stews, her photos capture the magic of food, [...]

Soup Weather: Lemongrass Shrimp and Miso Udon Soup

February 13th, 2012

There is a well-known state of weather. And it’s not Spring, Fall, Winter or Summer. I call it ‘Soup Weather’ and it can strike at any time, be it on a cold snowy day or a warmish Spring night. You may not call it soup weather, but I believe you’ll know exactly what I’m talking [...]

Frozen Banana-Chocolate and Peanut Butter Loaf: The Possibilities

February 8th, 2012

There is a neatly arranged time and place for everything in life, including peanut butter. I used to tell Matt, even before we were married, that I believed in the concept of soul mates. Something about our meeting and the way that we clicked made me feel confident that there was a reason that I [...]

Cognac Ice Cream from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams: The Sexy Ice Cream (For Valentine’s Day)

February 6th, 2012

When I lived in Italy, I learned three very important things. Don’t talk about God. Don’t talk about politics. And eat pasta as a first course. I’ve managed to be pretty good at sticking to the first two rules, but it’s on the third that I waiver. It’s an internal struggle that I have; in [...]

We mentioned in our January newsletter that the February Pairings Box will include some special treats, including a heart-shaped utensil from our friends at iHeart-This. The ‘Heart Parts’ are an awesome way to share a meal with a group of friends or a special someone. Each Heart Part can be used as a knife, fork, [...]

Eggplant and Meyer Lemon Risotto: Color

February 2nd, 2012

All of the walls in my house are white. I hadn’t intended for it to be that way, but for the past seven years, I have lived in a rented apartment where painting the walls is off-limits. I never thought it would get to me so much. You see, my bedroom in my parents’ home [...]

Sesame Salt Kale Chips: Let’s Talk Crazy

January 30th, 2012

There’s a good reason why I’ve never shared a recipe for kale chips on Turntable Kitchen. The reason is that I had always thought that people who thought kale chips were tasty were batshit crazy. I’m not a potato chips kind of girl, but I’ve always thought those women who would rave about how their [...]

Spaghetti with Lemony Anchovy Sauce and My Big Takeaway from Alt Summit

January 25th, 2012

I had recently fallen into a rabbit hole called Alt Summit (if you’ve been following me on Twitter, you may have noticed that I was tweeting up a storm about everything I was learning). I’ve crawled out from under white dresses, sparkles, stationary and balloons to tell you a story about embracing who you are. [...]
