Happy Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🍂 Maple pecan pie, meringue-topped pumpkin pie + ricotta persimmon galette...used @kingarthurflour recipe for GF pie crust and it was THE BEST✨ But the highlight of dessert was teaching my nephews how to use a blow torch...all fingers are in tact, these pies however, are demolished😅 #ineedbiggerpants #thanksgiving #holidays #pie #pieseason #dessert #desserttable #pecanpie #thankful #glutenfree #glutenfreebaking #family #familytime #howiholiday #pumpkinpie #persimmons #feedfeedglutenfree @thefeedfeed.glutenfree #mostlyhealthychef
Losing sleep over the thought of cooking your turkey? I just posted a Thanksgiving Guide which includes step-by-step instructions for a dry-brined, self-basting, hands-off bird🙌 Plus recipes for shallot & white wine gravy, and perfect, partly make-ahead, mashed potatoes. Let the Thanksgiving cooking extravaganza begin!✨ #thanksgiving #holidayseason #turkey #turkeycooking #foodblog #turkeyrecipe #privatechef #chef #privatecheflife #dinnerparty #entertaining #fallfood #foodgrams #instagood #instafood #privatecheflife #buzzfeedfood #goodeats #food #foodphotography #cheflife #keepsaintpetelocal #stpeteeats #stpetersburgflorida #tampabay #tampaeats #tampachefs #mostlyhealthychef
#tbt to last year when this caramel apple pie was a finalist in @thefeedfeed pie contest! I sauté my apples in butter until soft, then add granulated sugar and cinnamon and cook until it starts to caramelize. Let the apple mixture totally chill before filling an all butter pie crust. And the number one rule for working with butter...keep it chilled! Dice it and freeze it for 15 minutes before making your dough. Then chill your dough for at least an hour before rolling it out, and once your pie is formed, pop it back in the fridge for at least a half hour before baking. Cold butter in a hot oven produces steam, and steam makes all the flaky layers😍 #pieseason #thanksgiving #baking #fallbaking #pie #piecontest #feedfeedbaking @thefeedfeed.baking #holiday #entertaining #sweets #dessert #chef #cheflife #food #foodphotography #instagood #instafood #applepie #apples @kingarthurflour @bobsredmill #tampaeats #tampachefs #mostlyhealthychef
It’s all about that garnish and fall themes are my favorite🧡Fuyu persimmon, goose berries, anjou pear, root veggie chips & sprigs of sage. And don’t forget the hot honey😍 Now booking holiday parties, DM me while I still have a few open dates✨ #howiholiday #holidayparty #privatechef #chef #cheeseboard #cheese #goopmake #privatecheflife #appetizers @mikeshothoney #dinnerparty #entertaining #fallfood #foodgrams #instagood #instafood #privatecheflife #buzzfeedfood #goodeats #food #foodphotography #cheflife #keepsaintpetelocal #stpeteeats #stpetersburgflorida #tampabay #tampaeats #tampachefs #mostlyhealthychef
All about persimmons today🧡 Slicing them length-wise reveals the pretty starburst pattern in the center. Here they’re garnishing another of my fall favorites...Indian pumpkin pudding from @nytimes topped with homemade almond milk & toasted pecans. Not even going to try and pretend I eat anything half this pretty or delicious on a regular basis. But when I do? Damn it feels good✨#persimmon #fuyu #fall #fallfood #fruit #farmersmarket #floridagrown #chef #cheflife #food #goodfood #eatyourfruits #sweets #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #breakfast #breakfastideas #breakfastgoals #pumpkin #eattheseasons #eattherainbow #cleaneating #healthyfood #healthyeating #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef
Persimmon season is short and sweet...quite literally...and I get my fix while I can!! Fuyu persimmons are my fave, they’re sweet and crunchy and meant to be eaten while they’re firm. Hachiya persimmons are soft and sweet, not my favorite texture but still look pretty on a cheese board or holiday spread. I’ve been eating them with Greek yogurt and pumpkin pecan granola (recipe on my blog) and in salads with radicchio & goat cheese. I’d seen them growing in Italy, Asia & California, but only when I moved to Florida did I find out they grow here too! Get em while they last✨#persimmon #fuyu #fall #fallfood #fruit #farmersmarket #floridagrown #chef #cheflife #food #goodfood #eatyourfruits #eattheseasons #eattherainbow #cleaneating #healthyfood #healthyeating #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef
