And here’s the fabulous Jeni Quigg herself, founder of Sky-Tea, teaching us how to prepare her award winning Masala Chai.

Jeni travels to India herself to source her teas, forming relationships that benefit local villages by providing jobs to women. Here’s Jeni on one of her trips, exploring a tea plantation last year, teaching us more about the plants and growing conditions.
Thanks Jeni! Always a pleasure to work with you!

Pane di Casa Sicilian Pizza (Schiacciata!)

I had a great time photographing (and then eating) this amazing homemade schiacciata (a cousin to focaccia.) This traditional Sicilian pizza is a family specialty prepared with love by Rochelle Maze, a local event planner. This delicious rustic treat will soon be available to all of you, so stay tuned. I’ll update as soon as her new website is up and running…. featuring these images!
