There’s something timeless about German Sweet Chocolate Cake—the way it melds layers of tender cocoa cake with a luscious coconut-pecan filling feels like a flavor passport stamped in bold. Think of it as the warm, buttery cousin of European tortes and the Southern church potluck classic all at once.

This image shows a top-down view of sliced peanut butter brownies in a glass baking dish placed over a clean white marble cooktop.

Desserts

Warm, gooey, and unapologetically rich, these Peanut Butter Brownies are what happens when Southern comfort meets Parisian flair. Think of the creamy depth of West African groundnut stew, reimagined into a dessert bar that tastes just as divine alongside a buttery Earl Grey cookie or a delicate Crepe. In my travels through Chiang Mai’s street markets, I saw how peanut-based sweets balanced sweet and savory in every bite—this recipe borrows that harmony. I use the marbling technique found in patisserie kitchens to swirl in peanut butter like it’s a fine art (because it is). Don’t be afraid to make it … Read more

Desserts

Sweet, soft, and speckled with rainbow cheer, this Funfetti Quick Bread is a celebration baked right into a loaf pan. It’s like a festival of flavors, reminding me of Tokyo street bakeries where Castella Cake and Madeleine Cake line the shelves—and yes, this tastes just as delightful alongside them. The crumb is tender yet structured, thanks to proper creaming and a touch of yogurt, a nod to the French gâteau yaourt method. I first made this in a small Alabama kitchen with a Japanese whisk I picked up in Kyoto—it’s funny how global tools come together for something so local. … Read more

There’s something wonderfully universal about a banana loaf cake — it’s the kind of recipe you’ll find from a French countryside kitchen to a cozy Jamaican beach café. As a chef, I love how this cake turns humble, overripe bananas into something buttery, aromatic, and utterly irresistible. The magic here is in the balance: the sweetness of ripe bananas mingles beautifully with warm spices, while a tender crumb comes from the perfect creaming of butter and sugar.

There’s something universally joyful about pulling a tray of golden chocolate chip muffins from the oven — the aroma alone could rival that of a Parisian boulangerie. Inspired by café stops from Melbourne to Montreal, these muffins capture a cozy, global comfort in every bite. What makes these muffins shine is their tender crumb, thanks to a pro tip: don’t overmix the batter — think of it like folding delicate tempura in Japan, keeping things airy and light. For an extra layer of depth, I like using a mix of dark and semi-sweet chocolate, echoing flavors I first adored in … Read more

Bread Recipes

There’s bread you bake because you’re hungry, and then there’s bread you bake because it teaches you something. Inspired by old-world fermentation and packed with the nutrient-dense grains I discovered while backpacking through Europe, this loaf balances rustic texture with bakery-level softness. But what really makes this bread irresistible is its versatility: one day it’s the base for a hearty breakfast tartine, the next it’s soaking up the lemony dressing from a Chicken Mango and Avocado Salad, or cradling the saucy richness of Baked Hummus Pasta. Here’s my chef’s tip: letting the dough rest overnight not only deepens the flavor … Read more

Main Course

Baked Ziti is the kind of dish that speaks a universal language—cheesy, saucy, and unapologetically comforting. It’s Italy meets a Southern Sunday supper, baked till bubbly and golden like a Tuscan sunset on a plate. Think of it as lasagna’s more relaxed cousin—same depth, fewer steps, but still a masterclass in layering flavor. I learned to perfect mine after a late-night trattoria stop in Rome, where simplicity let each ingredient shine. By using al dente pasta, well-balanced marinara, and a mix of mozzarella and ricotta, we create structure and soul in every forkful. Add fresh basil and a hint of … Read more
