Ever since our trip to Oslo and Copenhagen, I’d been trying to track down breads similar to the ones we ate there—dark, dense, heavy, and full of nuts and seeds. Not having had much luck, I started searching for recipes to bake my own. A recipe for “The Life-Changing Loaf of Bread” from the health-focused, … Continue reading The Seediest Bread
Milos (All the Feel-os) Like any Greek island version of a wild, post-apocalyptic Martha’s Vineyard with beaches from space would, Milos completely captured my heart. Also the food was amazing. The traditional Milos fried cheese pie, pitarakia, though delicious, was not all that photogenic and its photo didn’t make the blog post cut, but many … Continue reading Milos (All the Feel-os)
Sampling Santorini In last week’s post, we were just leaving Crete via the Heraklion port, on our way to Santorini! Even if you’ve never been there, you’ve definitely seen the pictures—the iconic white cube houses clustered all up and down the cliffs. It really does look like that, and it’s even more beautiful in person! … Continue reading Sampling Santorini
Cretan Eatin’ Crete was stop two on our honeymoon, and we stayed mainly in Chania, with a day trip to Elafonisi Beach and one day spent in Heraklion, where we caught our ferry to Santorini. Our two main takeaways: Crete is beautiful and the food is SO GOOD! Here’s a photo from Old Town Chania … Continue reading Cretan Eatin’
Exploring & Eating in Athens We had a feeling we would love Athens, our first honeymoon stop, but people kept telling me how “gritty” it was, how we should just use it as a stopping point on our way to the islands, how we should really avoid spending much time there. This was not our … Continue reading Exploring & Eating in Athens
Wedding! + BBQ It’s been almost a month since Andrew and I got married on October 1—I can hardly believe it! As promised, here are a few pictures from our wedding weekend. I actually have very few pictures of the wedding food. I brought my camera, but believe it or not I didn’t get a … Continue reading Wedding! + BBQ

And yes, I’ll share some wedding photos too!), and I’m really excited to be cooking and blogging again. We tried so many tasty foods … Continue reading Apple Pomegranate Harvest Salad

I’ll be back soon with pictures and a … Continue reading Getting married, be back in a few weeks!
I first tasted shishito peppers a few years ago when Andrew and I were celebrating his birthday at B & G Oysters in Boston. A man sitting at the bar was eating a plate of them and they looked delicious; we flagged down our server and said we’ll have what he’s having. They were just … Continue reading Blistered Shishito Peppers
Things are coming together for the wedding in three weeks, but we still haven’t figured out the red wines! We’re having a pig roast with mac & cheese + veggie sides, so Andrew and I decided to conduct some market research (we are the target market here, so that part is easy!) pairing a few … Continue reading Tasting Wedding Wines
