I love turning something as simple as homemade pasta into a fabulous little festive season tradition for myself. Uncomplicated perfection… Proof that even the simplest of things can have the biggest, most special influence.

An afternoon tea. A simple and charming way to celebrate with loved ones for the holidays. Without the fuss of a formal table or extensive menu, this take on a Christmas celebration is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of it all.

A night fit for Mamie Fish and the legendary 400 of New York’s Gilded Age. This feast with its perfectly roasted prime rib, towers of brussels sprouts and a sparkling croquembouche, rivals the lore of Thanksgiving at the distinguished Delmonico's.

An inspired evening in the woods. Bring a bit of whimsy and wonder to your Thanksgiving feast with a table set in the forest and a scene just waiting for little woodland guests to pop by. Let your imagination take over this holiday season… Who says your traditions have to be traditional?

Move over pumpkin pie, this festive tart is the unexpected and refreshing holiday dessert that we all have been craving. Not too sweet, easy to assemble and a stunning addition to the table, everything that a holiday dessert should be.

The art of staying in.

‘Tis the season of hosting and merriment and sweet sugar plum memories.

I live for the little traditions.
