I apologize for the lack of recent posts! I am in New York for photo shoots and meetings, but I promise to post new recipes soon. In the meantime, here are some previously posted recipes that I have made new watercolor titles for. Enjoy!

Some of our best friends from New York came to visit last week and we had a great time showing them our neck of the woods. After a trip down the road to Fogarty Winery, we came back to the house and enjoyed some wine on the deck at sunset. We started with a bottle of Rose Brut, then moved on to Fogarty Pinot Noir. It was a bit chilly, so we got the outdoor fire going. Cocktail hour snacks included: Délice de Bourgogne and manchego cheese with apples, dried figs, artichoke spinach dip, turkey kielbasa, spicy paprika pepitas, pesto caper bites, and a bit of left over marguerita pizza from flour + water in San Francisco from the night before.

Citrus is in season, so why not add a bit of it to cocktail hour?! This drink lies somewhere between a blood orange champagne cocktail and a mimosa and using rose brut gives it the most dreamy color. Perfect at brunch or anytime!

This salad is so simple and colorful. Just slice or chop 2 carrots, 1 purple cabbage, 5 radishes and 2 blood oranges. Toss together with a handful of golden raisins. Make a simple dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and the juice from one more blood orange. Use a couple of the outer cabbage leaves as bowls for a pretty look. A wintery citrusy delight!

It’s a chilly rainy day here in the woods! What better time to curl up by the fire with a book and some Hot Chai Cider. Just pop a chai tea bag in a pot and simmer with cinnamon sticks, a bit of water and some apple juice or cider. The tea adds a nice spice to the traditional cup of cider. Serve hot with cookies!
