I love lemon. If I could only eat two flavors for the rest of my life it would be lemon and garlic. Just to be clear there is no garlic in this cake. But my third favorite flavor, thyme, might make an appearance in future iterations. Or maybe lavender and gin…but I digress. Today is…

Shortbread (Plain and Lavender Lemon)
This recipe really speaks to the idea that time is just a construct. Chill for an amount of time that feels right. Bake for an amount of time that feels right.

Louise’s Blueberry Pudding

Salmon en Croute with Asparagus
Serves 2 This salmon recipe takes my dad’s methods for cooking and serving salmon with Tom Douglas’s salmon rub and his own genius sauce (trust me, you’ll start making salmon just as a vessel for the sauce) and wraps it all up in one package. If you make the asparagus side with this, it becomes…
