Blueberry pound cake 🫶🏻

I’ve been teasing this recipe for a while, and I promise it’s on my list this week to get it up for you all! It’s the perfect bridge between spring and summer, and the icing gets its color completely from blueberry juice. Happy Tuesday, my dear friends! I hope you are all well 🩷

Tomato and caramelized onion galettes 🫶🏻

My tomato plants are starting to produce so many fruit, and though I still have a long way to go until the first tomato is ripe, I’m getting so excited for the summer harvest season. I’ll definitely be making these galettes when my tomatoes are ready! What’s your favorite thing to make with tomatoes?

Recipe on the blog archives! Happy Tuesday my dearest friends 🩷

Strawberry rhubarb brioche buns with almond frangipane 🫶🏻

This is a rework of a recipe I started working on last year, and I’m soooo pleased with how this version turned out! The brioche is pillowy and soft, and the buns are filled with almond frangipane, strawberry rhubarb jam, and sprinkled with crunchy sugar. Recipe coming soon! Happy Thursday, my dear friends 🩷

Strawberry, rhubarb, and rose season vibes 🥰 I just love it when all the garden roses are in full bloom! Every spring I get the most stunning roses from @sblilyseggs. I wish you could smell how intensely perfumed they are.

Happy Tuesday, my dear friends!

It’s officially cherry season, which means it’s time to make some cherry pie 😌 I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of cherry pie until I decided to develop this recipe, and let’s just say it completely converted me. Recipe on the blog archives!

A ricotta cake filled with springtime flavors of apricots and blueberries 🥰 Truly one of my favorite cakes I’ve made recently. Recipe coming to you soon!

Happy Tuesday, my dear friends 🩷 I’ve been a bit absent while I help with some of the ups and downs of my dad’s treatment, which has been a bit hard on my family as of late. I’m hopeful we have some treatment options that will have a positive outcome. I miss creating as much as I used to, and I hope to get back in a steady rhythm in the coming weeks 🫶🏻

Apricot season is finally almost here, and I can’t wait to use them in alllll the recipes! This is my apricot habanero jam from a few years ago. Recipe on the blog archives!

I apologize for my quietness this week: my dad had another surgery, so I’ve been visiting with my parents to help him at the hospital, and with settling back at home. I’m looking forward to being able to share new recipes with you soon, my dear friends! Happy Tuesday 🩷

“Life is a combination of magic and pasta.”

Hi, I'm Marissa!

I am a Los Angeles based food photographer, stylist, videographer, and recipe developer. I aim to highlight the magic and beauty of food through seasonal ingredients, to share the story behind each dish, and illustrate the human emotions and connections that are felt at the table. I'm so glad you're here!
