Marinated Feta with Pink Peppercorn and Fennel Seed
One of my favorite cocktails combines champagne with pink peppercorn and a few delicious herbal ingredients. With these bright, fresh flavors in mind, I created a marinated feta that is perfect for snacking, topping salads, or accompanying a charcuterie board. The reddish pink berries and sprigs of bright green oregano – reminiscent of holly and winterberry – also make this a great appetizer for Christmas parties and winter celebrations.

Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches
“She is a lover of art, words, sweets, and all things Mexican. She thinks from within a sugar skull.” At least that’s what it says in my bio for a poem published in Red Fez a few years ago, which you can read here. This weekend while indulging a serious Mexican craving, we headed to Playa Betty’s, a relatively new spot on the Upper West Side with a southern California vibe. We have some favorite spots that are closer to home, but we really wanted to relax, and the beachy feel and chance to try another kitchen’s take on Mexican won us over.

Living Through the Senses
Thirsty Radish is centered on living through the senses, with a focus on the intersection of food, love, and creativity. Throughout my life I have had the pleasure to indulge in many of my passions. I am a published poet, mother, former nonprofit arts director, and wife, among many other roles, and I know my way around a kitchen. Thirsty Radish is for all of the renaissance women and men who pursue life wholeheartedly – who are just as happy exploring a new recipe as they are making strides in their profession.
