There are two kinds of people: those who politely There are two kinds of people: those who politely use a citrus juicer and those who fully commit and end up with sticky hands and a smile. I’m obviously the second type 😌😇 These photos are me making a very Sicilian-ish salad that I riff on all the time—bright citrus, fennel, a good drizzle of olive oil, and just enough salt and pepper to make everything bright and delicious.
.
The salad I'm making here is a variation on my Grapefruit Fennel Salad, but the idea is the same: crisp, juicy, refreshing, and ridiculously good alongside anything from grilled fish to a simple cheese-and-bread dinner. My only “rule” is to use the best citrus you can find and slice the fennel super thin (mandoline if you’ve got one), because that’s what makes it feel special without trying too hard.

Sweet Pea Risotto 🫛🌱 . Sweet pea risotto is my def Sweet Pea Risotto 🫛🌱
.
Sweet pea risotto is my definition of late-spring comfort: creamy and soothing, but still fresh and bright thanks to those sweet little peas. I love finishing it with extra parmesan and a very generous amount of black pepper, and a heavy sprinkling of baby mint leaves, because peas and mint are a match made in heaven 👯‍♀️

Classic Madeleines 🧈✨ . Madeleines are tiny, but s Classic Madeleines 🧈✨
.
Madeleines are tiny, but so memorable. That buttery scent, the delicate crumb, the shell shape… biting into one is the easiest way to make an ordinary day feel a bit more special. I like them slightly warm with coffee, and with no plans other than “have another one” 😇
.
A couple of things that make a real difference when making madeleines: chill the batter (it helps with the texture and the signature bump), and don’t overbake—madeleines should stay tender, not dry. If you’re new to them, my detailed recipe will walk you through the process so you don’t have to guess.

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes 💛 . These lemon meringue c Lemon Meringue Cupcakes 💛
.
These lemon meringue cupcakes are my kind of spring dessert: bright, citrusy, and topped with a big, swirly meringue that you get to toast until it smells like caramelized lemon clouds 🍋🔥 The cake is tender, the lemon flavor actually shows up, and the whole thing feels celebratory without being heavy.
.
I created this recipe for the cookbook "Minçavi Sans Compromis." The book focuses on health-centric recipes, so think of these as a better-for-you cupcake—still a real treat, just a bit more sensible. The recipe isn’t online, but if you’re curious, ask in the comments and I’ll happily share the details 🤗
