Moroccan spiced coffee is a fragrant blend of dark coffee and warm spices. It’s very popular in Morocco, but many visitors miss out on the experience, as Moroccan spiced coffee is rarely served in street cafes and is typically made at home. Spiced coffee tastes completely different than a traditional cup of coffee, yet it’s still
French Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart
I have a tendency to overdo it when I travel. I get excited and want to do everything. The more guidebooks and blogs I read, the more plans I make. My friends and family remind me that “You can’t do everything” and I politely ignore their advice. This was the case during my last trip
Czech Gingerbread Kolache
Sometimes I’m amazed at the taste memories that stick with me long after I travel. Some of them are expected: fish and chips in London, Peking duck in Beijing, tapas in Barcelona. Other times, I’m caught by surprise when I’m still thinking about certain foods months or years after tasting them. These Czech gingerbread kolache are
Chouquettes
During my junior year of college, I spent a semester studying in Toulouse, France. There were a few Canadian students in our study abroad group, and with the advantage of French as their first language, they seemed to figure out the city much quicker than we did. It took us three days to get our

Chili Lime Kettle Corn
I’m not the best at grocery shopping and I don’t like to keep a lot of snack foods in my apartment because I have no self-control. But there are times when I need a snack and an apple or hummus just isn’t going to cut it. That’s when I turn to popcorn to satisfy my snack
Iced Coffee & Tea Drinks From Around the World
The past month has been a blur. Between teaching baking classes, traveling, and moving I’ve been drinking my fair share of coffee to stay energized. Luckily it’s been amazing coffee from some of the best roasters and coffee shops in the country — Intelligentsia in Chicago, The Flying Joe in Perrysburg, Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor,
Cuban Flan de Leche
I love talking to people about their favorite recipes and the foods they grew up with. At my last job, we had some of the friendliest and most interesting produce delivery drivers. While I did not look forward to checking in the order and putting all of the produce away, I always enjoyed talking to
Middle Eastern Mint Lemonade (Limonana)
Julie, my next-door-neighbor in Perrysburg, is currently in Amman, Jordan. Julie is an audiologist and is on a humanitarian mission to help fit children with hearing aids. I’ve never been to the Middle East so I was excited to hear her stories and, being that Middle Eastern and Mediterranean are two of my favorite cuisines, talk
