I found this lovely soup while surfing the web this weekend. Roasted Chickpeas sound like the perfect touch.
The beautiful image was taken and styled by Bria at These Peas are Hollow. Enjoy.
Revered and collected by design connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike, the work of husband-and-wife team Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne defies categorization. In the first intimate visual biography of their work, their long-time gallerist Paul Kasmin shares never-before-seen photographs of their studio and home life in CLAUDE & FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE: Art | Work | Life.
For quite sometime I have been playing with the idea of adding contributors to All the Best. My biggest dilemma has been how to add new perspectives, make it more interesting for readers, while maintaining my voice.
I love seeing spring greens in the store, and in the spring and summer I find that I don’t want foods (or soups) that are taxing. That said, it’s still chilly in Scotland, so this spring soup with dumplings is perfect. I adapted it from one of Sara Moulton’s recipes using my favorite dumplings. I have never met a dumpling that I didn’t like, but most can be heavy. These breadcrumb dumplings are light and quick. Enjoy!

A year on and I am still smitten with the Easter table Gwyneth Paltrow styled for Remodelista. The delftware Musical Monkey plates are from Deborah Sears’ Signature Collection for Isis Ceramics; the Hand-Beaten Silver Tumblers are from Rose Uniacke and the France Wineglass and the France Champagne Flute are from Summerill & Bishop. The Personalized Ceramic Eggplaceholder is from Yellow Moon in the UK (also available from Ceramic Eggs in the US).
This stunning new book from designer Jennifer Post showcases her fresh, contemporary interiors and reflects her “pure space” philosophy. From New York City lofts to Palm Beach villas, each interior is immaculately conceived, detailed, and tailored.
Congratulations to Keri (author of Ivy Clad Blog) and the lucky recipient of Susanna Salk’s new Book: Be Your Own Decorator
Lentils and chard are wonderful soup partners. Actually, lentils pair well with all kinds of leafy green vegetables—from spinach to mustard greens. Add the chard at the end to keep the bright color. And it’s good for you. Enjoy.
Albert Hadley Dies at 91…the world has lost a brilliant man and designer. One of my great regrets is that I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Hadley. Jennifer Boles who writes the wonderful blog The Peak of Chic posted a lovely tribute. (more…)
