Seasonal Recipes & Kitchen Stories
Strawberry Lime Muffins with Sumac
These muffins are soft, lightly sweet, and full of fresh spring flavor. Lime zest brings brightness, strawberries add juicy sweetness, and sumac gives the batter a subtle tartness that makes everything pop. Finished with crunchy turbinado sugar on top, they bake up with beautifully golden tops and a tender crumb.
This is the kind of muffin recipe that feels effortless enough for a weekday morning but special enough to set out for brunch.
Strawberry Cornmeal Cake with Sorghum
This cornmeal strawberry cake is a simple spring dessert made with fresh strawberries, lemon zest, and rich sorghum syrup. Moist, lightly textured, and topped with jammy berries, it’s perfect for brunch or an easy seasonal bake.
Baharat Coffee Cake
This Baharat coffee cake is layered with a warm spiced brown sugar filling and topped with a buttery crumb, finished with powdered sugar and a final dusting of Baharat for a beautifully aromatic twist.
Vanilla Bean Pound Cake
A simple, elegant classic with rich vanilla flavor. This vanilla bean pound cake is tender and deeply aromatic, thanks to real vanilla paste and rich cream. The method keeps the crumb light and fine—whipping the eggs and sugar to a ribbon stage before folding in flour and emulsified butter. It’s the kind of cake that’s perfect with a cup of tea, layered with fruit and cream, or simply dusted with powdered sugar.
Citrus Olive Oil Cake

Spiced Buckwheat Carrot Cake
Moist, spiced carrot cake with buckwheat flour, cocoa, and warm spices and slathered with silky cream cheese icing. A wholesome twist on the classic.
