A crisp white meringue shell that breaks gently under a spoon, filled with cool cream and fruit. Light and sweet in perfect balance, it carries the feeling of summer evenings and shared plates after long dinners.

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
