A portrait of Serena

Flexible recipes, easy entertaining, and feel-good fun

Hi! I’m Serena, and I’m a Le Cordon Bleu-trained recipe developer, author, and culinary instructor that loves to help people feel confident in the kitchen. I live in New York City with my husband and extremely fluffy dog and am passionate about dinner parties, hot baths, and medium-trashy novels. I believe in laughing as much as humanly possible (including at myself), savoring the small joys, and celebrating just about everything.
