i was going through my photos and found this gem from thanksgiving. a good friend of mine and i made this sticky toffee pudding, and it was easily one of the best desserts made in my kitchen. the sauce was better than any salted caramel. i wanted to sit in a corner and eat it with a spoon. oh and it was topped with vanilla whipped cream. clearly I couldn’t wait to take the picture before digging in.

pretty much the only thing that makes the nyc cold bearable is baking. since my jeans won’t be able to handle decadent treats all winter, i tried this recipe for vegan, gluten-free cookies. they turned out pretty well, and i feel like the lack of sugar means that they are an acceptable breakfast.

i had the most delightful brunch with a friend at sadelle’s in soho. despite the (very) long wait for our meals, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. the bagel sandwiches and crispy potatoes were delicious, and the sticky bun might just be my new favorite pastry treat in the city. i still daydream about it…
i may have started eating the stick bun before i could snap a picture.

after reading that hunan slurp in the east village was one of nytimes food critic pete well’s favorite eats for 2018, i knew i had to go. the vegetarian option was just okay, but evidently the pork and beef were excellent, especially for a cold rainy day.
when we went, the restaurant didn’t have its liquor license yet so it was byob. there are some great wine and liquor shops in the area, so that worked out well.

there’s a new(ish) bagel place in town. since there is always a line out the door at the nolita location, i stopped by the nomad store this weekend. the decor was very on trend, and my avocado, egg, cheese, and tomato bagel was even better.

i brought home a handful of fresh figs from the market and didn’t know what to do with them at first. luckily, the ny times food section had this recipe, and i somehow had everything on hand.
fig and almond cake, coffee, and nectarines made a perfect breakfast.

i made my favorite pancakes for a special treat this weekend. i also cooked down some strawberries with a splash of vanilla and 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar. if i could guarantee that my jeans would fit, i would eat these every day.

as i mentioned in my last post, the food in santorini was incredible. i don’t eat meat, but i heard the meat and the fish were very fresh and flavorful.
i personally found it pretty easy to eat as a vegetarian. in fact, everything pictured here except the last dish was vegetarian. my favorite was the feta wrapped in phyllo drizzled in honey.

i spent the long weekend in london with some dear friends. we went to the “pret-a-portea” at the berkeley hotel, where all the cakes were inspired by this season’s fashions. the tea room was gorgeous and light-flooded, and the service was impeccable.

i finally made it to abc v a few weekends ago. the vegetarian and health-focused menu was so delightful that my friend and i ate until we couldn’t feel our stomachs anymore. the most interesting thing i had was the coconut yogurt topped with pistachio granola (first picture). i think i am going to try my hand at making my own.
