The View from Great Island

It’s here! 🎉 Recipe Roundtable kicks off for September!

Hey friends❣️

One of the best parts of the Great Island journey has always been you ~ your creativity, your feedback, your kitchen know-how. Let's bring it all together in a fun new (subscriber only!) series.

Each month I’ll throw out a new challenge for us to tackle as a team.

Sometimes we’ll cook with a specific ingredient. Other times we might riff on one of my popular recipes…or wander into completely new territory. I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

SEPTEMBER'S RECIPE ROUNDTABLE CHALLENGE: your best chili recipe! 🌶️

I’m looking for a fresh chili to add to my soups and stews collection:​

  • Dig out a family favorite, or invent something brand new.
  • Send it to me by September 15th.
  • Be sure to tell me what makes it special.
  • Anything goes ~ classic, spicy, vegan, or totally off the beaten track. I’m up for it all.

Each month I’ll photograph and feature one of your recipes on the view from great island (with credit to you.) I’ll also share other recipe highlights, so we can all enjoy each other’s best ideas.

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!

pumpkin bread

Hey friends❣️ Starbucks dropped its pumpkin spice latte yesterday and that's the starting bell for one of the most exciting food season of my year. Favorite Pumpkin Recipes Pumpkin really is a magical baking ingredient, and I'm a total pumpkin nerd (fyi I like Libby's.) Pumpkin is about 90% water, and during baking that moisture keeps cakes and breads soft longer. Its pectin and starches act like natural thickeners, giving batters structure without toughness (you get custardy, silky...

cardamom plum cake

Hey friends❣️ A bowl of gorgeous red plums on the counter in late August can mean only one thing: Cardamom Plum Cake Cardamom is one of those magical spices that doesn’t shout, but once you know it, you can’t forget it. I often use it in place of cinnamon to give favorite baked goods a fall refresh. The taste is hard to pin down~ it's warm and fragrant, with a hint of citrus (it’s what gives Scandinavian pastries their haunting aroma.) Just a pinch can turn a simple cake or cookie into...

peanut butter cookies

Hey friends❣️ You don't have to be a kid to love a great packable snack. Who wouldn't want a delicious little bite stashed away for that afternoon fade... Backpack Friendly Back to School Treats As a mom I've always operated from the point of view that school is hard. No matter whether yours is an A+ student (or not!) school is taxing, and any child who willingly trudges through that long day deserves high praise...and a treat. A carefully wrapped backpack treat is a delicious little thread...
