Seven Spoons

As much as her recipes sound tasty, and her photographs of food are tantalizing, it is Tara’s writing that I love to read whenever I visit her cooking blog, Seven Spoons. And you know how much I adore Christmastime, so this post about spiced popcorn in particular really got me.

A tree groaningly, gloriously laden with ornaments, most especially at the precise height of a three-year-old who is thisclose to turning four. A pair of slender glasses that chimed when clinked, filled with berry-hued bubbly drinks to be sipped over the quiet hours of mid night. That bite of shortbread cookie, swirled with raspberry jam and finely chopped almonds, buttery and tender and tart and perfect.

I think I’m going to make this popcorn as an easy-to-carry-on-the-subway appetizer for a dinner I’ve been invited to next weekend.

Check out her writing and recipes, you won’t be disappointed. http://sevenspoons.net/
