 My cousin once told me that looking at the photos on this site gave the impression that I live in a vast, high-ceilinged, impressively white space, filled with gauzy, billowing curtains, white furniture and polished wood floors. It was totally inaccurate, of course, but it was flattering that my photographs provided such a dreamy illusion.... Ashley - March 27, 2012 - 1:43 pm
Thanks for the link! I love your pink eggs. And it’s great getting a peek into your kitchen. Mine is very less than perfect measuring in at about the size of an outhouse. A gross illustration but not far from the truth. SG - March 27, 2012 - 1:47 pm
so gorgeous! truth in art? (haha) the secrets and stories are one of my favorite things. i really enjoyed checking out your kitchen space and thinking about all the magical things you make happen in there – wood paneling and all! i have that mortar&pestle too and love it! db - March 27, 2012 - 2:28 pm
Yes indeed, we love a good “red beet egg” here in PA. Yours look and sound fantastic. Thanks for spreading the beet egg love! kickpleat - March 27, 2012 - 2:50 pm
I love your kitchn profile!! It’s huge and full of light and you’ve got a ton of counter space, nothing wrong with that. Your eggs look amazing and I’ve been jonesing to make some deviled eggs – so springy! Audrey - This Little Street - March 27, 2012 - 3:09 pm
Such a nice twist for a regular recipe. Love it! And about your kitchen – it might have more charm than you think ;) We’re always so critical of the place we live in. Brianne - March 27, 2012 - 3:12 pm
I loved getting a peek into your kitchen today! My kitchen is also a wonky rental kitchen with ugly wood paneled cabinets, but boy, am I ever envious of the massive amount of light you have to work with. You do such beautiful things with it! Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane - March 27, 2012 - 3:56 pm
So fun to get a glimpse into the space where the magic happens! ;-) I don’t have a big, glamorous kitchen either, but I tend to believe there are so many overlooked efficiencies in a cozy kitchen. And, as so many have already said — that natural light! I’d pay good money for that alone. These eggs are quite darling, too. la domestique - March 27, 2012 - 4:09 pm
The eggs are so pretty and I really enjoyed your feature in the kitchn! I especially loved your mish mash collection of jars for holding pantry ingredients (I do the same). Maybe there’s some beauty in our imperfection? Way to put yourself out there, lady! Jacqui - March 27, 2012 - 5:23 pm
I loved seeing your sneak peek today, you’re keeping it real. And those eggs are gorgeous! Eileen - March 27, 2012 - 8:22 pm
Yay, pink deviled eggs! I may have to make a batch of pickled beets just for the pink brine…oh, who am I kidding, I’m totally going to scarf down all the beets too. :) Stacy - March 27, 2012 - 9:29 pm
From my cute-but-oh-so-dark kitchen, I thank you for your honesty! You are making one fine silk purse out of that sow’s ear, if you ask me, and decorating it fabulously to boot! Cookie + Kate - March 28, 2012 - 8:01 am
I’m amazed that you achieved such a brilliant pink color without using dyes! Way to go. I loved getting a peak at your kitchen yesterday. Mine is tiny, dark and ugly, which is why you never see it in my photos! Someday we’ll have kitchens with lots of light and marble countertops, I just know it. :) Dramatic Pancake - March 28, 2012 - 9:34 am
Like everyone else here, I really enjoyed your profile on the kitchn. It is nice to see I’m not the only one with a “real” kitchen, which definitely isn’t stopping you from producing amazing food! Honestly, I thought the space was pretty darn charming – thank you so much for sharing! :) patricia @ orange zest productions - March 28, 2012 - 11:53 am
Loving the purple, brilliant! And bravo for your immense confidence in sharing your work space, a true testament that doing wht you love requires little else than the craft itself. It’s all magic…. NicoleD - March 29, 2012 - 12:41 pm
I know exactly what you mean because most of us aren’t cooking in our dream kitchens. I love the peek inside of your space and these beautiful eggs! I try to find the beauty in things and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, either. It’s optimism, right? Bethany - March 29, 2012 - 1:30 pm
As a foodie with a kitchen that is MUCH smaller, darker, and homelier …. how do you get such great pics? Where do you take the pictures and what do you do to get that bright, fresh look? I have no problems cooking delicious food in my closet-sized kitchen but it’s VERY difficult to get good pictures of it. AND, those pink eggs are amazing. They should be in a museum or something! Jon - March 29, 2012 - 3:42 pm
You can keep the egg yolks centered in the whites by stirring the eggs as they cook. Just like how rolling a snowball around in your hands creates a symmetrical ball (sometimes), stirring the eggs as they cook keeps the yolk centered within the white! Love the photos, and the ethereal impression they create! Robert Richards Recipes - March 30, 2012 - 4:13 pm
This recipe looks sooo good. I’m going to give it a try this weekend when my friends are visiting. I’m sure they will all love it. :-) By the way, the photos are excellent! Holly - March 31, 2012 - 9:31 am
Thanks for the wonderful colorful documentation of seasonal foods. This week, It inspired me to theme my weekly dinner party as a seasonal spring celebration. Every dish was farm-fresh and celebrated the different colors of spring produce. It was an absolute hit. Thanks so much for your work! leela - March 31, 2012 - 9:54 am
what a pleasure it was to share your humble kitchen with the interwebs and so glad you love the pickled, gorgeous eggs! serendipity bien sur. big hug! lee Danelle - March 31, 2012 - 6:09 pm
These deviled eggs are beautiful. I love that you blogged about these just before Easter. Shelley - April 1, 2012 - 7:27 pm
my mom is freaking out about leaving eggs outside of the fridge. when you pickle them, do you put them in the fridge or leave them at RT? thank you! Kasey - April 1, 2012 - 8:59 pm
I loved the look into your kitchen! It’s always so fun to see someone in their element. I’m a little embarrassed of my kitchen, myself! It’s small and dark and too narrow for two people to comfortably work in it, but we make due with what we have! I keep reminding myself that one day, I’ll look back at the years I’ve lived in this apartment, and the meals I’ve made in my kitchen, and smile from ear to ear. fujiia - April 3, 2012 - 2:39 pm
These are absolutely gorgeous. I love the analogy between a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and showing your very real kitchen to the world, to strangers (like me!) Bailey Jane - April 3, 2012 - 8:06 pm

 Over the weekend I had a quick getaway to lovely Santa Barbara for Edible Publications’ annual Edible Institute.

Looks perfect! Stephanie @ okie dokie artichokie - March 13, 2012 - 3:13 pm
I can honestly eat eggs morning, noon, and night so this is definitely calling out to me. Funnily enough, I’ve never done a fried egg with tacos, only scrambled. Looks messily delicious! Willa - March 13, 2012 - 3:14 pm
I’m on a taco kick too! I think it must be the coming of warm weather. this looks like a great recipe for an anytime meal. I’m sure I’ll be making something like it soon. You should look on my blog in the near future for a sweet potato taco recipe! ileana - March 13, 2012 - 3:43 pm
Yum. You’re reminding me of my recent trip to Austin, the birthplace of breakfast tacos, I think. :) This is an interesting combo with the radishes. la domestique - March 13, 2012 - 3:46 pm
The tacos look so freakin’ good! I love radish salsa in spring. What an interesting group of folks you got to listen to at the Edible institute- I look forward to checking them out. nicole franzen - March 13, 2012 - 4:01 pm

I love your site and your pictures! It was nice meeting you this weekend in Santa Barbara, hope to see you again in SF sometime in the next weeks. And yes, I want breakfast taco’s. Now. (Can I have them for dinner?) Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane - March 13, 2012 - 5:40 pm
Same here, Nicole! These types of dishes are my dream breakfasts — so simple, hearty, satisfying (and spicy). I’m so glad you had such a great experience @ EI, Kimberley (and yes, that figure about Walmart is enough to make anyone cringe). Thankfully, it just makes me want to work even harder to affect change. Heidi - March 13, 2012 - 6:16 pm
Sounds like your weekend worked up an appetite, and tacos like these are one of my favorite for breakfast, lunch, dinner and yes even brinner. Walmart. Yuck. I hate Walmart. Kiran @ KiranTarun.com - March 13, 2012 - 7:37 pm

Breakfast + taco are two of my favorite words. I love the sounds of that thinly sliced radish and fried eggs instead of scrambled for tacos! So hungry now. Cookie + Kate - March 14, 2012 - 9:19 am
My stomach literally growled at the sight of your breakfast tacos. I make something similar, scrambled huevos rancheros, all the time. I need to get a mandoline so I can make those super thin slices of radish happen—I don’t have the knife skills for it! Jeanine - March 14, 2012 - 9:27 am
I eat breakfast tacos like crazy, but it never occurred to me to make them with fried eggs, yum!! And gorgeous styling – I’ve yet to take a successful photo of a taco. kickpleat - March 14, 2012 - 12:01 pm
Love breakfast tacos!! The radishes are a lovely addition and maybe it will be the veg that I will get to like this year – maybe slicing them uber thin will be the ticket! Ambika - March 14, 2012 - 9:01 pm
LOVE these tacos, especially the radish and avocado salsa!!! Beautiful photos! Eileen - March 15, 2012 - 3:26 pm
Those look beautiful–love the thinly sliced radishes! And who cares whether they’re the “real” breakfast taco? They’re obviously good, and that’s all the matters. :) Kasey - March 16, 2012 - 4:12 pm
Girl, you always just KNOW how to whip up something unique and special. I’m definitely a taco fiend and adding them to my breakfast repertoire sounds like the natural next step. The weekend sounds fascinating! I agree that storytelling is a powerful way to communicate a point…especially one that has to do with health and nourishment! Pamela - March 17, 2012 - 9:23 am

 I have a hunch that there are some magical blues-obliterating qualities to citrus. Have you noticed how much they lift a person’s spirits? I have.

Well, citrus and buffaloes,... by Kimberley show hide 24 comments Heather @opgastronomia - February 14, 2012 - 1:17 pm
Yum! I totally have one of those curved grapefruit knives. Love it when we’re eating grapfruit every morning with winter breakfast, but now I’m all for this “brulee” to break up routine. erin - February 14, 2012 - 2:29 pm
Gorgeous color in these photos! I forget about grape fruit since I live in an area where citrus doesn’t come naturally. I may have to try and find one though- this looks delicious! Lynda - February 14, 2012 - 3:29 pm

Such a fun recipe! I really love the progression of the shots, too. They’re so bright, airy and welcoming and make me want to sit outside on a warm deck somewhere dangling my toes in the water. Thanks for the winter transport! la domestique - February 15, 2012 - 8:34 am
Cardamom is quite possibly my favorite spice, and I can’t get enough of citrus right now. The winter blues just hit me this week, and there is nothing like a beautiful pomelo to cheer me up. Lovely post! NicoleD - February 15, 2012 - 10:23 am

Ever since Yotam Ottolenghi roasted grapefruit halves for London, I’ve been a slavish fan of cooking them (as opposed to just eating them raw and quartered).

Walks, podcasts, oatmeal, going out to dinner, getting off the internet (anything with a screen, really) – all things that are part of my taking care list too. I love this time of year too, despite the fact that it sometimes feels a bit shadowed by exams, research projects, and work. Grateful for it all though, it’s easy to when doing like you say – taking care through it all. Being alive and tasting it all along the way is so worth it. Happy Holidays to you, lovely lady.

I’m always in for a bed-in and this does sound lovely (and looks beautiful too, I might add). I’ve got blackberries so maybe I’ll try this with those instead. Yum. Mika - May 24, 2011 - 10:52 pm
Your cornbread looks delicious… Sasa - May 25, 2011 - 4:01 am
Gah, what!? You mean to say I’m flying into non-summer? I dunno that nobody likes a complainer, complainers can be highly amusing when they do it right ;P Jess - May 25, 2011 - 7:41 am
It’s been pouring rain for more than a week here in Boulder, Colorado, which is really unusual. Normally the sun pretty much shines constantly. I can feel myself turning into Oscar the Grouch, but this cornbread just brought a little sunshine my way. I love blueberries. NicoleD - May 25, 2011 - 7:58 am
Our weather is fickle here in Michigan, too. We’re thinking of heading to Chicago in July and I’m compiling a list of restaurants and tart frozen yogurt places. The list is getting exciting. That’s my vote for you, plus we could meet up :) I once tried basil cornbread and I wasn’t feeling it, but I can totally get behind blueberries+cornbread. Kasey - May 25, 2011 - 9:40 am
This is totally my least favorite time of year. Every summer I tell myself, “this is my last summer in San Francisco!” We should have a gray picnic in the park sometime ;) This cornbread looks so pretty – I love when you put blueberries in stuff, it turns everything that vibrant, messy purpulish blue :) Tova - May 25, 2011 - 9:51 am
I live in Oakland and I too am finding it super tempting lately to stage a bed-in!! I also just made blueberry scones last night to use up the last of my blueberries. Wish I had seen this first. It looks perfect! Brian @ A Thought For Food - May 25, 2011 - 12:39 pm
You know… I do love cornbread. I really do. But sometimes it’s just kind of bleh. Love love LOVE The idea of throwing blueberries in and making this more muffiny ;-) Stephanie @ okie dokie artichokie - May 25, 2011 - 1:02 pm
Gorgeous! On this dreary of dreariest of rainy days a warm slice of crumbly cornbread sounds just fine. Yum, Kim! kankana - May 25, 2011 - 4:03 pm
I too stay in the bay area and i am getting frustrated about the weather. Wonder where is the sun and spring and summer is almost approaching and I don’t feel anything !! Kristie @ What's for dinner? - May 25, 2011 - 5:37 pm
Oooo! I love cornbread with buttermilk and a high cornmeal to flour ratio! I never thought to add blueberries…thanks for the idea. Looking forward to trying it! Joanne - May 26, 2011 - 8:36 am
I hate to tell you this, but Brooklyn is pretty cold and muggy also. So you might want to just skip the whole northeast. :P Never have I ever seen cornbread look so VIBRANT! That is gorgeous. Are we still on for lunch on Friday? I’m excited! Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane - May 28, 2011 - 1:01 am
Agh, yes. The blustery SF summer actually drove me to Marin a couple years ago in search of long, sunny days and the sound of crickets at night. I’m in Ireland right now — very cold, rainy and windy. In comparison, SF is actually pretty balmy and mild. Love this recipe, and your inventive description of it. Thankfully, you don’t have to travel far at all for a true taste of summer! kimberley - May 29, 2011 - 9:46 am
Elizabeth, you know my pain! All the more reason for me to steal away from the fog and visit you in Marin this summer. Stacy Marie - July 31, 2011 - 8:33 am
This caught my eye when you posted it back in May, before blueberries had made their blessed appearance here in the Midwest. I waited (somewhat) patiently and finally made it yesterday for a riverside picnic–delightful! This really is a lovely blog; thank you, Kimberley. Hope your summertime has turned warmer.
