Bonjour!

Rebecca Sherrow
I've always kept a journal in the kitchen. It's where I scribble recipe ideas, note my adaptations and alterations, jot down grocery lists, keep track of my thoughts on flavour combination, sketch photography designs and so much more. Cerise Chérie is the result of this stained and scrawled journal. It's where the ideas that come to me while washing dishes make their debut into the real world. These are my French-inspired, seasonal recipes, stories and lifestyle tips - made for the American kitchen. Thanks for visiting! -Rebecca

Yesterday was bright, beautiful and warm. The kind of day that tricks you into believing that Spring might be just around the corner. But today Mother Nature is back to her moody, cloudy, windy, March-y self. Sitting here by the window I’m watching as intermittent bursts of snow whip through the sky. For lunch, I made my very favourite asparagus soup, topped with garlic chips for a zesty crunch. It’s the perfect “transition dish” for when it’s still cold enough to warrant a bowl of steaming soup, but so close to spring that you’re craving a bit more green - everywhere! If it can’t be spring outside, at least it can be in my kitchen. 🌱The recipe for the soup is on #CeriseChérie . The garlic chips are made by slicing several cloves of garlic thinly, lengthwise, placing them in a cold pan and adding a few tablespoons of EVOO. Set it over med-low heat and cook, turning often until the garlic just starts to take on a golden hue. Drain through a sieve set over a heat-safe bowl, lightly salt, then spread on a paper towel to cool. Reserve the oil for another use. . . . . . #seasonaleating #asparagussoup #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #f52grams #inmykitchen #tastingtable #darktable #foodandwine #eatpretty #veggingout #organicveggies #easyrecipes #5280eats #coloradoblogger #soupforthesoul #lifeandthyme #homecooked
In this world of fast food and high-speed conveniences, I look at artichokes as nature’s way of telling us to slow down. The pleasure is in the journey, the process of culling the thorns to get to the heart, tasting each leaf individually, the work and the anticipation of what’s to come. There’s no possible way to prepare and eat an artichoke quickly; they teach us to savor each sweet bite. Speaking of that, have you ever noticed that artichokes make everything else taste a little sweeter? That’s because they contain an acid called cynarin which inhibits the ability of our taste buds to perceive sweetness. As the acid is removed, by eating a different food, our taste receptors overcompensate for the absence by flooding our taste buds with the sensation of sweetness. Interesting, no? For this reason, many say that artichokes should not be served with wine, but I disagree. Simply choose a dry white wine that can stand up to a bit of added sweetness, then marvel in the subtle fruity flavours that are revealed by your altered sense of taste. . . . . . #foodscience #artichokeseason #inmykitchen #foodforthought #feedfeed #f52grams #foodandwine #5280eats #coloradoblogger #tastingtable #kitchenscenes #cerisechérie #seasonaleating #eatpretty #artichoke
“May you always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but never forget to remember the things that made you glad.” It’s something my grandmother used to say, along with, “I love you with my heart and I love you with my liver, if I had you in my mouth, I’d spit you in the river.” ☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s day! I miss my grandmother more today than on any other, she was so fiercely proud of her heritage. Growing up with her, St. Patrick’s Day was akin to Christmas. I spent the day cooking - all the things she used to make. Then had my family over for dinner. I didn’t take a single picture of any of it, and I’m not even sorry about that. 🤭💚 #happystpatricksday #stpatricksday #luckoftheirish
Quick kitchen snap while cooking dinner because I am SO inspired by this colour! I’ve been searching forever for the “perfect” shade of green for our dining room walls and this is it!! A deep forest green with just the right amount of navy and a hint of silver. Now... to find someone who can mix this custom shade: “Dino Kale.” 🤔🦖 . . . . . . . . #inmykitchen #veggingout #foodforthought #creativityfound #tastingtable #kitchenscenes #coloradoblogger #darktable #foodphotographyandstyling #dinokale #tuscankale #onmytable #organicveggies #foodandwine #seriouseats #5280eats
