The “25 Days of Cookies” has to be my favorite recipe assignment. It totally rocked my world! I was up to my ears in powdered sugar, colored icing, marshmallows, and sprinkles—much to my son’s delight. But the best part was how much it engaged our online Edible community: Treasured family cookie recipe submissions, cookie recipe requests, and general Christmas cookie enthusiasm flooded my inbox and put a smile on my face all holiday season long.

My favorite recipe (in “Waste Not!,” Spring 2018) was the Kale & Broccoli Bruschetta! The issue focused on reducing food waste, so my recipe required culinary creativity because I used tough stems I would normally discard. Fat, salt, acid, and heat allowed the greens to soften and, when mixed with olives, tomatoes and feta, it became truly delicious.

My favorite recipe for Edible was the Southern Fried Chicken (Summer 2019). A classic fried in the old cast-iron pans reminds me of trips to Nashville, Charleston, and elsewhere in South Carolina. The technique of getting the chicken coated and fried crispy while keeping the meat moist and juicy is like an art form. One needs constant attention and a big napkin.

My favorite contribution to Edible Sarasota was my first story, featured in the Fall 2018 issue. It was my first foray into recipe development and I was pleased to be able to showcase my very favorite ingredient: mushrooms. I particularly loved having the opportunity to educate readers about foraging for mushrooms locally, a pastime I have enjoyed with my family since childhood.

My meatballs with marinara from the Blenditarian issue (Summer 2019) is a favorite of mine. To me it’s just comfort food at its best. It’s one of those meals you never get tired of. What started as a great way to sneak extra veggies to my kids has turned out to be my most requested recipe from family and friends.

My favorite assignment was “La Vie Bohème: An Inspired Dinner Party” (Cooks 2014)! It was a dreamy gathering with Provencal-inspired food and a bohemian vibe. The menu included some of my favorite eats: a lavender-orange cocktail, a cheese board with candied nuts, hearty lamb stew, and roasted vegetable salad. And of course, the dessert that made its way to the cover: Naked Olive Oil & Orange Blossom Cake. The photo shoot and styling for this article were a blast too!
