Adrienne Katz Kennedy, PR & Special Events Manager at the School of Wok, from Cleveland, OH, lives in Kingston I first met Adrienne back when I was doing an MA in Dance Anthropology; she was one of the first people I met and we instantly clicked.

More chickpea love: veggie burgers with quinoa, kale & red pepper
in Savoury, Taste -Even though I eat meat quite rarely, I’m always up for a good burger (as I’ve previously and inappropriately mentioned). I’m not as devoted as M, who’s tried almost every good burger joint in town and has described and rated his experiences in excruciating detail, but whenever I’m given the opportunity to dig in a […]
Cheesy ham & porcini puff pastry pie
in Savoury, Taste -Just when you thought that after the last few posts, I was done being cheesy… Behold! V-day is upon us! I always though Valentine’s Day was lame. Lame and commercial; that was until, a few years ago, I was shocked to find out that my parents celebrated Valentine’s Day- flowers, gifts, cards and all.
Chocolate chunk bread pudding
in Breakfast, Desserts, Taste -I first came across a recipe for a bread pudding going through the pages of Cosmopolitan, on a night flight from London to Athens; I was tired, cranky and super hungry. But flipping through my favourite flight read, there it was, the perfect mood changer: a dessert made with bread, sugar, milk, dried fruit and […]
New Year’s cake (Vasilopita)
in Desserts, Taste -Vasilopita (Basil pie) is the highlight of the season’s festivities for me; the dessert is named after St Basil, a very wealthy and generous man living in Cappadocia in the 4th century who, as the story goes, decided to distribute his fortune to those in need, by making small pies and hiding money or jewelry in each one […]
Earl Grey muffins
in Breakfast, Desserts, Taste -Christmas morning is one of my favourite times of the year. It’s always spent in our house in the mountains, just the four of us, opening presents, while consuming copious amounts of coffee and dragging the monstrous breakfast we have prepared to almost lunch time.
Banana bread with mascarpone, maple & lime cream
in Desserts, Taste -Banana bread was one of the first successful desserts I ever made. I started off with some almost-black, sad looking bananas, some sugar, butter and flour. It was a no-brainer, really. I chopped up whatever was left from a dark chocolate bar (chocolate bars can always be found in my kitchen- black chocolate, so it’s all good, […]
Boozy pear & lime olive oil cake
in Desserts, Taste -Tomorrow is Bonfire Night; I find the story behind this anniversary fascinating and I can think of few things as exciting and pretty as a mid-week firework-filled night. This year, the mild weather makes me anticipate the 5th of November even more: it means that I can watch the fireworks dressed nicely and looking cool and collected- […]
Gulash
in Savoury, Taste -Even though I’m not at all a fussy eater, I rarely eat meat. It’s not that I don’t like it, but I usually find myself gravitating more towards vegetable or fish when cooking and eating out. The way I eat and cook has been greatly influenced by my parents’ dietary habits: while I was exposed […]
Kaiserschmarrn
in Breakfast, Taste -Pancakes are my favourite leisurely breakfast; easy and quick to prepare, versatile, sweet or savoury, I love them all. I usually make them on Sunday- after I come back from the gym (I believe counter-productive is the word you’re looking for here).
