Tomato Risotto with Green Onions

Posted on September 20, 2018September 19, 2018 by emiglia

This risotto doesn’t require cheese, broth, or constant stirring. And yes, it’s delicious.

Wild Rice, Sweet Potato, and Lentil Salad

Happiness seems so unattainable, so utopian. I remember my father, when I was small, used to ask me to gauge my own happiness on a scale of one to ten, and I never, ever, ever said ten.

Chicken Burrito Bowls with Zucchini and Stone Fruit Salsa

Posted on September 12, 2015August 30, 2017 by emiglia

Ah… the Americans have returned. Yes, that is a strange thing to say in Paris — even putting aside the fact that I am American and therefore have no real reason to be commenting…

Spinach Risotto and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

After several years of doing fairly ridiculous things whilst traveling, I’ve gotten to the point where, when I suggest spending the night in an airport/train station/bus stop to make a cheap layover…

Paella and Cannes
