Blackberry Ice Cream
It’s hard to believe, but this is the first time I’ve used my ice-cream maker all summer! It was past time, and this very summery recipe was the perfect thing to mark the first-ice-cream-maker-usage-of-the-season occasion. This ice cream is not too sweet and it really highlights the flavor of the fresh blackberries. If you want … Continue reading Blackberry Ice Cream
Strawberries with Labneh Whipped Cream & Saba
Happy June, everyone! With official summer almost here, I’ve been trying to get outside more and to explore more of New York, reaping the full benefits of our sky-high Brooklyn rent. Recently, I walked to Sahadi’s to pick up a few things (cranberry beans, hot smoked paprika, and labneh were all on the list) and … Continue reading Strawberries with Labneh Whipped Cream & Saba
Happy 2nd Birthday, Lo-Fi Gourmet! Chocolate Raspberry Cake
It’s that time of year again—blog birthday time! On February 15 two years again, Lo-Fi Gourmet was born.

I was excited yet apprehensive about trying the recipe in the restaurant’s wonderful cookbook, Buvette: The Pleasure … Continue reading Buvette Chocolate Mousse
Pears & Pecorino
It’s another week for extra simple dishes—”recipes” that are composed rather than cooked—good for times when life is overwhelming and cooking, no matter how much I love it, is one more thing on the to-do list. The “helpful” wedding-planning website we’re using tells me that we’ve completed 73 tasks (!!!), and that means that we’re … Continue reading Pears & Pecorino
Strawberry Ice Cream
U pick—apples, peaches, nectarines, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries—u name it, I’ve been there. My mother would take us each summer to pick our own fruit, which she would then put up in our basement freezer or make into jams to last the year. These days going fruit picking has been turned into a fun activity and … Continue reading Strawberry Ice Cream
Greek Yogurt with Honey & Pistachios
The family weekends always end up back to back somehow—last weekend it was my family visiting us in Brooklyn, this weekend we met up with Andrew’s family in Boston. It was so nice to see everyone, but was there much time for cooking or blog work? What do you think? We did visit some … Continue reading Greek Yogurt with Honey & Pistachios
