My grandmother lived in Palm Springs around 1920 and had memories of riding her horse down the main road. This weekend I’m staying in the oldest hotel in Palm Springs dating from the 1900s. It’s a beautiful property - quintessentially Palm Springs. #palmsprings . . . #palmspringsarchitecture #palmspringsdesign #igerspalmsprings #palmspringsvintage #visitpalmsprings #desertbeauty #tlpicks #travelphotography #travelblogger #travel #vacationmode #vacationlife #photography

Zucchini al pomodoro is a bit of home on a plate. It's my comfort food. Yesterday I decided to make this in the afternoon and had it for a late lunch topped with parmesan cheese. My mom's favorite way is to fry an egg in it.

Winter in California brings citrus – lemons, oranges, tangerines and limes. This year, I am fortunate to have friends with bountiful backyards and citrus farms that have gifted me with some gorgeous lemons. So I shall make mostarda – which is essentially candied fruit with essence of mustard (which a friend brought me from Italy). In the summer you can use ripe cherries, pears and apricots. A bit time consuming but well worth the effort.

Recently, I made some tomato soup which, not surprisingly, ended up more like my spaghetti sauce. So today I was faced with leftover sauce. What should I do? I wasn't in the mood for traditional pasta and when I hunted through the cupboard I found the makings for rosemary parmesan polenta. Instead of letting the cooked polenta set in the refrigerator and then cutting into squares before baking, I skipped that step and left it in the baking disk and put it in the oven at 450 F for about 15 minutes. I finished it off to a golden glow under a closely watched broiler. I also doubled the parmesan cheese. After all, who doesn't like more cheese? The recipe cooks the polenta in milk instead of water. A nice twist that results in super creamy and rich polenta.
