The warm, Mediterranean sun streamed through the kitchen window, perfectly illuminating the star of our latest culinary shoot: the vibrant Staub Cast Iron and Enamel Tomato Dutch Oven.

Finalist Award Magazine Cover Edible Communities for 2025

Thrilled to share that my collaboration with Edible East Bay was selected as a finalist for the 2024–2025 Edible Magazine Cover Award! This image was created in my studio using locally milled California olive oil, walnuts, persimmons, and pomegranates. I’d just finished painting this backdrop and was inspired by the natural light pouring through my window—so I styled the scene, sent it off, and never imagined it would land on the cover, let alone receive recognition across the Edible Magazine community.

Grateful to Edible and to everyone who continues to support and celebrate our vibrant local food culture!
