Martha asked me to recreate the cover of Jacques Pepin's groundbreaking cookbook La Technique in cake form to celebrate his 80th birthday. Under the fishy exterior is a devils food cake with a rich ganache filling.

Winter's finally on the wing, but there's still enough of a chill in the air to spend an afternoon cooking up a pot of soup, especially if you happen to be in Poland. I developed these two broth recipes for Magazyn Smak with the idea that they would store well in the freezer and can be dressed up with whatever ingredients you happen to have available when the craving hits. Hit me up if your Polish is a little rusty and you need a translation. Photographs by Christina Holmes and props by Alistair Turnbull

This November Vogue writer Katherine Bernard challenged me to recreate ten of her favorite looks from the 2015 Spring collections as gingerbread cookies. It was a fun project to really sink into; it took a good two days to get all the detailing on the cookies complete. These were definitely the most intricate gingerbread ladies I've ever made!
Some samples below... click over to Vogue to see them all.

In celebration of the return of Downton Abbey this January, Martha Stewart asked me to recreate Highclere Castle, the real-life setting of the show, in gingerbread. I worked with design director Anduin Havens and Sam Seneviratne to turn 66 pounds of flour, 11 cups of molasses, and copious amounts of sugar into the walls and windows of the façade.
You can watch a video of the process on the Martha Stewart Living site, or read about it here and here.
I teamed up with Mouthfeel Productions to create a series of Thanksgiving web videos for Bon Appetit featuring food editor Dawn Perry. Each video provides a simple trick to prevent the most common mishaps of the biggest meal of the year. Watch them after the jump, and stay tuned for more tips as the holidays approach!

Each year, SELF Magazine showcases a selection of prepared foods or grocery store items that they deem healthier options compared to (heavily processed) alternatives. This year, they shook things up by commissioning a series of lifestyle shots rather than just showing the products in a lightbox. Christina Holmes, Pamela Duncan Silver and I created these images for them.
And, of course, some outtakes:
I created a cake that looks like it's wrapped in canvas for the Fall '14 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings by imprinting fondant with sheets of burlap. Photo by Petra Bindel.
Photographer Christina Holmes and I created these images to accompany Goksu Kuna's essay "A Fish in a Bottle of Raki" from the Winter '14 issue of The Carton, the alt/food/art magazine based in Beirut. We drew our inspiration from the Islamic art surrounding the story's setting on the beaches of Turkey and used traditional mezze to build the pattern. We also wanted to capture the moment when Raki changes opacity as it cools in a glass filled with ice for the story's opener.
