Perfect Summer Dinner

Burrata with crostini. It doesn't get any better than that. Unless you add a lovely farmer's market pasta and a cute date. Here's one (the pasta, not the date) with plenty of garlic sauteed in olive oil mixed with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and some lemon zest and juice thrown in for a little zing.

Big Birthday

The last couple of months have been really remarkable for me. I'm not sure exactly where I thought I'd be when I turned 30, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't where I am. Despite that though, I have this strong feeling that I am exactly where I should be - spending time with supporting and wonderful family and friends, following my food and wine dreams, and feeling an invigorating mixture of uncertainty combined with passion. My 30th birthday weekend on Dillon Beach combined all of this for me.
