{Glamorous Gâteau}

petals extend in all directions, a halo of fragility and refinement gracing the cake. a delicate pink dressing wraps layers in subtle femininity. the combination of delicately curated details conjuring exquisite charm. plush buttercream and silky strawberry-lemon filling are sandwiched between vanilla layers. frosting coats the outside in sleek fashion, becoming a canvas for ornamentation. icing petals and saccharine swirls build into a dazzling bouquet, topped with glimmering pearls to catch the eye.

{Making a Menu II}

Rather than simply attempt to describe the menu, I endeavored to test my own recipes for each dish and then to write a tastefully informed review for each item. In true Eating Artfully fashion, I took to the kitchen once more for this fresh rendition of the Fellows dinner spread.

{Sensationally Spiced}

tawny, russet, and copper hued powders blend in a most ambrosial symphony of spice. shreds of rustic carrots join the mix, as does silken cream cheese, in an ensemble of texture and taste rivaled by few. miniature molds form personal bundts that are sure to win over even the most selective eaters.

{Unfussy yet Unforgettable}

finely chopped parsley and bodied seasoning infuse ground meat, hand-formed spheres coming to being. sweet onions and snappy garlic sweat in a pan, the framework for a sauce only to be described as otherworldly. swap spaghetti for a dressed sauté of kale, and the plate is as appetizing as it is prismatic.

With a diamond and desserts, only good things are bound to happen. Baking and love intermix seamlessly, adding pizzazz to an already electric celebration.

{Innocent Indulgence}

dense and sweet, healthful and nourishing, this banana bread is transcendent. oats and honey negate the need for anything artificial, so enjoyment is unencumbered. best enjoyed in early sunlight alongside the toasted glory of warm coffee.

{Making a Menu}

It takes but few words of instruction to inspire a diverse, gourmet spread complete with a multitude of tantalizing profiles. Italian undertones piqued my curiosity, and captivated me to the point of execution.

{Wintry + Warming}

as a frosted chill lingers in the air, a hearty bowl of soup can be medicinal to the soul. full-bodied bone broth envelops pops of bright tomato, wisps of spinach, and crumbles of ground turkey. flakes of dried oregano, rosemary, and basil hint at an Italian concept while sharp olive oil adds a layer of decadence.
