Honey Caramels

I’ve been on a serious candy-making kick recently. So much so that it’s taken away from making well…. pretty much anything else. It all started with the Pomegranate Caramels, and it’s been downhill (uphill!) since. Many different flavors and multitudes of sugary goodness have been coming out of my kitchen lately… which is aptly timed because these beauties are the perfect holiday gift!

Come munch and mingle with us !

I’m really excited to let you know that the lovely Azita of Fig & Quince and I are doing a meet and greet next week in New York! That’s right folks, we’re getting OFF the interwebs and into REAL LIFE. It’s going to be super casual and a place to connect with friends old and new during the holidays over some delicious food (like the Ashe Reshte from Taste of Persia!). Deets are below – please RSVP in the Facebook invite. Hope to see you there if you’re in the New York area!

Who: Azita, Ahu and YOU

What: Meet, eat, food, talk… hopefully all simultaneously! 🙂

Where: Meet in front of the Abe Lincoln statue in Union Square. It will be BYOF (buy your own food) but we’ll be eating some tasty soup from Taste of Persia who has a stand in the holiday market!

When: Sunday, December 21st, 11am – 1pm ET

Why: Because we want to see your lovely faces!

*If the weather is nasty, we will pick an alternate date in January!

Always Learning: ICE Culinary Crepe Cake Making Class

I am a firm believer in the importance of being that lifelong student. Whether it’s going back to school, taking a class on Coursera (my newest obsession) or attend a class at the local cooking school – it keeps you fresh and inspired. And what better place to have fun with food and get inspired than the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City. ICE is a fabulous center for professional cooking and baking education that happens to offer recreational courses for us hobbyists on the weekends!
