Almond Recipes for Almond Lovers 🤟


Hey friends❣️

There's a reason you crave almond flavor ~ its sweet, nutty, slightly floral flavor leaves a lingering finish that no other flavor can match. It comes from benzaldehyde found in bitter almonds, which is responsible for the strong, marzipan-like, cherry-almond aroma we associate with almond extract and certain almond-flavored products. Yum.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
