Hello! We're officially tinkering around in our not-so-new studio. The water in the kitchen works (finally!) and we've got a fridge and stove. For now, we're baking, taking pictures and working on our next shop update. More on all that soon. xo, N           _____________ Coco Chanel at Villa La Pausa. This room looks nice. Our cloud cutters are back in stock. Find them here. I'd like to go here and I can't stop thinking about going to Greece. This salad is delicious (and Michael and I took the photo). If you're in Toronto, the bread at Blackbird Baking is great. And I'm so looking forward to summer. PHOTOS: Nikole Herriott

  Last year when April was turning to May we went to Montreal. We spent a few days driving around, going from one restaurant to the next, taking pictures. Eating small amounts of this and that, wishing we could stay longer, wishing there was time to eat more.   The grass was already green by then and it felt a bit like summer. We stayed in a friend's apartment, quite near to the restaurants we'd planned to visit. There was a spiral staircase to get to her front door and a long back deck with a clothesline. There were blooms outside the windows and small buds on the trees. It felt vaguely like we lived there, vaguely like we could call that place home. I'd like to go back, I'd like to walk through the neighbourhoods more and I'd like to eat at nora gray.     On a separate note I'd love to know your thoughts on places to eat, stay and visit in New York City. We've stayed at a few different hotels which have been great but we're curious about airbnb and longer stay options. If you have suggestions, we'd love to hear them! xo, N         these sandals this post ice cream cones i want to go sailing ballet in nyc this vase and this reminds me of summer       photos: michael graydon + nikole herriott

    Hi, hi! I've got lots of good things to share in the next while, including the recipe for this delicious tart by Mimi! But for now I wanted to share some current work for bon appétit. (Together with a group of amazing folks we shot the April cover + they created two, see them both below.) Michael and I been working a lot as a photography team these days and while it often pulls me away from here, it's been really great. More soon! xo, N                   Photos: Michael Graydon + Nikole Herriott Food: Rebecca Jurkevich Props: Angharad Bailey

  More days than not, Tara and I talk about food. We talk about porridge and grain and how flaky biscuits can be. We talk about writing a good recipe (She's working on her first book! With biscuits included.) and what we’re making that day.       We talk about ice cream and cake and just about everything in between. And we also talk about  making more time to work together. And so as a start of things to come, find Tara’s recipe for RASPBERRY APPLE CRUMBLE.    

It's cold here still, so while we're actually really yearning for spring, crumble still seems to fit.

It's perfect day-of warm, with a dollop of cream but it’s also great for travelling. Let it rest overnight before cutting into wide slices and wrapping snuggly in plastic wrap.     I so like the idea of crumble for dessert and then crumble the next day  at lunch. xo, N       _____ [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:20]
