 This year, for me, seems to be defined by my comfort zone and its boundaries. I’ve been hungrily collecting those quotes, you know the ones, things like If it doesn’t scare you, it’s not worth the effort. And whatnot. Well, last weekend I taught my very first class ever – on the basics of food... Erin - September 26, 2012 - 7:48 pm
I can’t say I’ve ever thought of putting pears and cocoa powder together before but these crisps look amazing. As for going after things you love-how awesome! I think sometimes it’s super scary to go after things that aren’t necessarily a “sure bet” but deep down feel like the right thing (currently experiencing that myself- what a ride!) la domestique - September 26, 2012 - 8:03 pm
The pears look so good, I can’t wait to give it a go (I’m putting together a post on chocolate pear tart for tonight- hey hey!) I feel you on the pushing out of your comfort zone thing. I was toying with the idea of teaching a food styling workshop and then one of my local readers sent me an email requesting it. Ok universe, I hear you. When I saw you did a workshop it was very encouraging. Here’s to growing and putting yourself out there! Stacy - September 26, 2012 - 8:40 pm
High five to you indeed!! Sounds like an excellent season. And these crisps, my goodness. I shall be picking up a few pears at the market this weekend! Ashlae - September 26, 2012 - 8:43 pm
High five for going after the things you love, indeed! And these cocoa pear crisps are just the excuse I needed to finally (!!!) purchase a mandoline. Kiran @ KiranTarun.com - September 26, 2012 - 10:05 pm
Good luck in your future endeavours! It already looks like an amazing journey :) And that crisps? Oh my! thecitygourmand - September 27, 2012 - 12:08 am
Wow, I love how the cocoa gives the crisps such a beautiful texture ;) Tine - September 27, 2012 - 12:27 am
Yum! Kathryn - September 27, 2012 - 1:34 am
I’m so glad you posted this recipe, I was so intrigued by the picture on instagram and they sound just as delicious as I expected and the pictures here are so striking. I’m so glad that you’ve had the chance to share your amazing photography talents with people; I know I learn so much every time I visit your site. Emma @ Poires au Chocolat - September 27, 2012 - 3:05 am
These look amazing – I can’t really imagine how pear crisps taste, but I can’t wait to find out. Especially as chocolate and pear is one of my favourite combinations! Also, looks like you did a wonderful job teaching – it’s such a rush to pass on what you know. Sasha - September 27, 2012 - 3:19 am
I just added pears to my grocery list so that I can make this. Like now. Or this afternoon. I love pears and I look forward to trying them in such an intriguing and unfamiliar form (baked! and with cocoa!). And a big high five for teaching a class and going after your passions! Dianne - September 27, 2012 - 3:41 am
What a wonderful item to use on a desert will add this to my must makes. Will try them tomorrow. Big thank you for the idea. thelittleloaf - September 27, 2012 - 5:29 am
What a wonderful idea. I love the combination of chocolate and pears and these look like a beautifully light version. Beautiful beautiful photos too. Ashley - September 27, 2012 - 6:41 am
I can completely relate about life being a string of exciting unknowns. I never thought that was the path for me. I always thought my role would be behind a desk doing architecture work until retirement. My how things have changed. It’s so great you decided to teach and share you amazing talents with others. I would have loved to attend! Oh yeah…the pears sound outstanding. Courtney - September 27, 2012 - 7:19 am
Congrats on teaching your first class! That’s an amazing accomplishment. This post couldn’t have come at a better time because I just inherited 29 lbs of pears and was trying to think of other ways to use them besides preserves and jams. Cocoa, ginger, and pears = yum! jamie smith - September 27, 2012 - 9:14 am
Kimberz, I’m so proud of you! I am thrilled that you have found work that you love and makes life juicy! How exciting, indeed. High five! Now, off to make some pear crisps! XO Jacqui - September 27, 2012 - 9:36 am
Congrats on your new venture! I’m sure you did an awesome job! And I was just thinking about making some pears crisps before I saw this; same wavelength. SG - September 27, 2012 - 10:10 am
High five lady! I was just looking at two pears in the kitchen and wondering if I should eat one. Looks like fate has stepped in – thank you! Nicole - September 27, 2012 - 11:02 am
Congrats on your first workshop and these pear crisps look great! I have also been looking at a lot of quotes like the one you mentioned, hello pinterest, and thinking constantly about taking the next steps. It’s nice to know someone like you feels the same way–thank you. Beth - September 27, 2012 - 11:07 am
Congratulations on teaching your first workshop. I’m quite familiar with the “holy crap, this is a scary thing I’m about to do feeling,” but I find it always precedes incredibly worthwhile endeavors. I’d never have thought to put together cocoa and pears, but these crisps look delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe! kickpleat - September 27, 2012 - 12:52 pm
Yay, congrats on teaching and jumping into the abyss! Always good to test boundaries and shake things up. I’m actually not a pear-lover (I’m a staunch pear-hater, actually), but these look really good. Drying them out into crisps would get rid of their mealy texture that I don’t like. Nicely done. Lottie @ Lottie's World of Cakes - September 27, 2012 - 2:40 pm
Wow, these look and sound great! What a fantastic idea! Hannah - September 27, 2012 - 9:49 pm
Yay, big high five! I’ll bet you were amazing (where was the class? SF? Let us know!) I saw the crisps come up on Food 52 and wasn’t convinced but you have swayed me. And I surely have enough pears coming in right now off our tree to try something new! Cheers to being brave, and to the things that comfort us behind the scenes of bravery :) ileana - September 28, 2012 - 9:07 am
These are lovely. Congrats on teaching your first class! Kasey - September 28, 2012 - 12:49 pm
Good for you for breaking out of the comfort zones! I think that’s when the great stuff tends to happen. Also, these crisps sound out of this world delicious. Riley - September 29, 2012 - 8:03 am
This is such a creative dish! Beautiful photos as well. Cara - September 29, 2012 - 10:59 am
Love the sound of this! Such a wonderful fall snack and so simple too. sara - September 29, 2012 - 11:43 pm
I’m so proud of you!!! The class looks like it went fabulously. You have so much to offer, wish I could have been there. You are a beautiful example of living on the edge. Go forth, lady. Oh, and the pears, amazing. Jocelyn Pascall - October 1, 2012 - 2:56 pm
These look incredible. I am totally pinning this for future consumption. Beautiful photos and nice work on the class! Usually it’s the things that scare us the most that are the most well-worth it. kale - October 1, 2012 - 5:20 pm
so pretty!! well done. :) Kathryne - October 1, 2012 - 6:38 pm
Hi five to that! Good for you, Kimberley. I’m sure I could have learned a lot from your class. I used to live near a health food store that sold dehydrated pears. Addictive! These look like cocoa-dusted homemade versions. shelley - October 2, 2012 - 6:43 pm
Hmmm. Pear crisps. That’s a new one on me, so guess what? People learned stuff. AGAIN! sarah - October 3, 2012 - 12:41 pm
Yeah, for you! Really, I love hearing of people over coming their reservations and fear, to do something they love. It’s so encouraging. And, oh! pears and cocoa! These are amazing. {I might replace the ginger with cardamom when I make them, ha. :) } MikeVFMK - October 3, 2012 - 3:16 pm
Yay for you. Breaking free from comfort is hard but rewards you. And I’m sure your students loved the time spent with you learning. Beautiful crisps, seems like the perfect response to what fall has to offer. Kelsey - October 4, 2012 - 10:27 am
I have a sticky note on the bathroom mirror that says “if you’re dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.” Yay for big dreams, lady. Inspired. Rihanna’s Diamonds + Late Tuesday Links « Fashion in the Urban Jungle - October 9, 2012 - 5:38 pm

 One of the greatest takeaways from my time in Montana is how crazy lucky I am to have such an abundance of produce available here in northern California.

I just had a discussion with my local farmer, I asked him to never stop producing tomatoes, make them last through the winter! All he did was laugh. Produce definitely isn’t the same after it’s been shipped and sitting in crates through thousands of miles. Nicole - September 19, 2012 - 2:07 pm
I like the phrase “vegetal riches.” Looks delicious as well :) kickpleat - September 19, 2012 - 2:52 pm
Gorgeous! I had a similar lunch yesterday – polenta topped with sauteed sun gold tomatoes, but this looks so much lovelier. And yes, I agree, italian mashed potatoes, it is. Ashlae - September 19, 2012 - 3:38 pm
I’ve (gasp!) never had polenta. But you’ve convinced me, I’ve got to try it :) Loving the shot of the raspberries – so pretty. Katherine Sacks - September 19, 2012 - 5:47 pm
It’s settled, I’m crashing your summer trip next year and coming along! I love goats! Beautiful pictures as always and the creamy polenta looks perfect for this cool fall evening! thelittleloaf - September 19, 2012 - 11:25 pm
I adore wet polenta – it’s so creamy and comforting. Love how you’ve combined it with tomatoes and those lovely fresh podded beans. Think I might try it with some borlotti I got from the market yesterday. Lovely! la domestique - September 20, 2012 - 12:25 am
I like the combination of creamy polenta and tart cherry tomatoes and how cute is Mr. (or Mrs?) goat?! Kathryn - September 20, 2012 - 2:12 am
What a lovely combination of summer and autumn both in flavours and textures, just beautiful. thecitygourmand - September 20, 2012 - 5:32 am
That looks a lovely Autumnal dish, I shall save it! Erin - September 20, 2012 - 12:45 pm
We ate creamy polenta this week, too. I used stone ground corn meal and baked ours in the oven. Spoonfuls of fresh tomato sauce made it just right for a September night with a little chill in the air. I love this time of year. NicoleD - September 20, 2012 - 12:53 pm
You really know how to balance the line between summer and fall! I can’t wait to make polenta, again. and topping it with late summer produce is a brilliant idea. charlotte au chocolat - September 20, 2012 - 1:06 pm
That little, detached cottage surrounded by chickens and goats and raspberries sounds dreamy! And yes, California has it made with its yearlong abundance of produce. Enjoy it! ;) Elizabeth - September 20, 2012 - 6:35 pm
Sounds like such a nice time away in the wild. Whenever I get out of my city, I’m always so taken with the plain old oxygen in natural places. As produce goes, It’s the fresh citrus I envy most. We always embrace citrus season, but knowing it’s all from Florida or California, it just isn’t the same. Brian @ A Thought For Food - September 21, 2012 - 9:11 am
Thanks for rubbing it in… damn you West Coasters and your amazing produce. We have good stuff too, of course, but it disappears so quickly! Loving this polenta recipe! Looks marvelous! sarah - September 21, 2012 - 2:42 pm
Beautiful. I had a bad experience with polenta, but you’ve convinced me to give it another try. And I do envy your produce. Minneapolis is freezing 7 months of the year. Maybe it’s time to move? :) Kasey - September 21, 2012 - 5:32 pm
We really are lucky to live in such a bountiful place. I’m a big fan of ‘bowl food’ as Sara from Sprouted Kitchen would say – and this is definitely my kind of bowl food. Heather M - September 23, 2012 - 11:31 am
Ha, so true about the produce! I can’t remember who said it, maybe it was in Blood Bones and Butter, but someone was talking about how when people talk about eating locally, they are thinking of California. Some parts of the country, eating locally would mean meals devoid of many kinds of produce that we are used to just having all the time. I just shop at my local co-op these days, and while they emphasize local produce, they actually sent out an email last winter to address all the comments they get about Why isn’t there a better variety of produce? Of course it’s because they are trying to keep it local. and people truly didn’t realize the limited things that are being grown at certain times of year. The amazing thing is that this is in the fertile Skagit Valley in washington state so it’s not like we’re not in a major agricultural climate! Anyway, I can forego those tomatoes in the winter, but I’m not giving up avocado! We don’t grow any up here, so I’ll just have to sacrifice somewhere else. :-) MikeVFMK - September 23, 2012 - 7:53 pm
I am envious of your year-round amazing produce. But here in Toronto I’ve come to appreciate four distinct seasons and four distant growing seasons. As for this dish, it’s vibrant and beautiful. And I hate to admit I’ve never had polenta before but I’m willing to give it a try. Ashley - September 24, 2012 - 7:36 am
OH, oh, oh my word does this sound fantastic. And that first photo is stunning. The lighting is perfect! A perfect end of summer dish! Ashley @ Sensibly Gourmet - September 24, 2012 - 1:21 pm

I tend to think big and a lot of that thinking has me running away from home but at the same time, I look forward to the day when I’m more stable and have a home to run to. Gorgeous photos and what a gorgeous place to run to during the summer! Kasey - September 12, 2012 - 11:58 am
Welcome home! I sometimes get confused when I travel because I end up missing stuff from home, even though I love traveling so much! I think it’s refreshing to return from a trip and feel like you’ve missed something. Those zucchini bread bites look awesome. melissa - September 12, 2012 - 12:38 pm
There’s something so peaceful about the mountains and nature, it soothes the soul. Lovely photos and recipe looks delis — making these tonight for sure! Brian @ A Thought For Food - September 12, 2012 - 12:41 pm
What a lovely reflection on home… I love traveling and being away from home and people. It definitely builds that connection to it. Jess - September 12, 2012 - 1:38 pm
i just returned from GNP myself and can already feel it pulling me back. what a lovely tradition to return annually. your beautiful pictures and words transported me back for a moment! alison - September 12, 2012 - 1:55 pm
This is such a beautiful way of looking at traveling and returning home again. I always look forward to our travels each summer, because I just know there is inspiration waiting beyond our city limits. The zucchini bites look wonderful, perfect for this time of year. So ready for fall baking to begin again! la domestique - September 12, 2012 - 1:56 pm
You are totally freaking my out with your wisdom here, because I have been terribly homesick for Arkansas, where I grew up. I’ve been thinking about how I seem to miss a lot of the things that I complained about (even the swampy heat and humidity!). I like your take on the saying, though. This time I’ve spent as an adult away from home has brought the important things into focus. By the way, the scenery in your photos is absolutely stunning. michelle - September 12, 2012 - 2:37 pm

Really lovely, Kimberley. I think you’re entirely right — that going away reminds us of why we love home. Having just moved from an old home to a new one, I’m not entirely sure what that means for me right now, but surely it has something to do with gratitude. And: I have been eying this recipe myself! Happy to know it’s a delicious one. Welcome home!! xo Sasha - September 13, 2012 - 2:02 am
I am just towards the end of Cheryl Strayed’s ‘Wild’ and your pictures and words have convinced me that I need to get far out of the city and feel just how big mountains and trees can be. That and I need to make these zucchini bread bites. I, too, associate zucchini bread with my childhood and more so than banana bread or cookies or any other homemade treat. And I love that with just a recipe we can go back to that feeling of home. NicoleD - September 13, 2012 - 9:45 am
This is so lovely, Kimberley. I think your escape to Montana every summer is a brilliant idea. Just seeing your photos, I feel so small. You’re a busy woman and your trip sounds like a wonderful way to find balance. Zucchini bread bites! Tiny bits of comfort, I’m sure. kickpleat - September 13, 2012 - 10:19 am
Kimberley, your photos are stunning. Could I please live in the first one? So idyllic and serene. As for running away, I always ran away from home and now that I’ve made a new home on my own terms, I agree that trips bring back a new perspective to home and how life is lived. This is a lovely post, zucchini bread bites included. phi - September 13, 2012 - 10:56 am

Hi Michelle! To answer your question: I am a big fan of improvising and can only imagine that regular sugar would be fine. Though dark brown sugar might be better for its richer flavor. As for the cocoa powder, Sara explained in the book that non-alkalized cocoa powder reacts with baking soda to help baked goods rise – a good thing when using non-gluten flour. So I think that’s the reason for that choice. Hope that helps! Laura {gourmettenyc} - September 13, 2012 - 12:12 pm

I’m between homes right now, between continents. So interesting to notice the different things that pull us in one direction or the other. I’m reflecting on all of this in the tiniest village in the South of France, where I’m surrounded by nature. I love what you said about “be[ing] reminded of how unbelievably huge wilderness can be, and how lucky I am to witness it, and walk in it, and be a part of it.” Your images of Glacier are gorgeous. Kathryn - September 15, 2012 - 3:30 pm
One of the things that I’ve realised about growing up is that you gain a new appreciation for the things that make you feel at home (and that those things don’t actually have to be your home). Love Sara’s book and this recipe has been calling my name for a while now. Riley - September 16, 2012 - 6:45 pm

Do you think I could substitute rolled oats for quinoa flakes? I live in a teeny remote Alaska town with no quinoa flakes within a thousand miles. Kimberley - September 19, 2012 - 2:54 pm
@Sally! That’s a great question. Rolled oats are larger than quinoa flakes, so it won’t be the same, but I think it’s worth a try! Fingers crossed for great results! Ashley - September 24, 2012 - 7:37 am
Wow. Absolutely stunning photos and love the bite sized recipe! I always leave your blog feeling inspired in both food + photography! Michael - October 2, 2012 - 1:17 pm
Perspective is a very powerful thing. Like relieving a strained muscle that has been flexed for what may seem like hours, returning home can feel so refreshing and relaxing. Montana has a power like few other places and Glacier reigns supreme over all of its beauty. It has rightfully earned the name “The Crown of the Continent”. John Steinbeck said it best: “I’m in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.” Great work Kimberly. more than ready | Delightful Crumb - September 13, 2012 - 11:59 pm

I love thanksgiving and probably should do it twice! I love that this isn’t so sweet and sticky but filling and I think it would be a perfect weeknight dinner with a salad alongside.

We did a Friendsgiving here in Italy last year, with all our classmates from the Masters we attended in Bra at the University of Gastronomic Sciences. There were people from all over the world, but we made it work great! It was very unconventional –so said the Americans in our group, for me it was the first one. There was no cranberry sauce (very hard to find in Italy) and chicken instead of turkey but there was tonnes of great food everybody took care of- The potluck is a gret idea for a party, always a success.
