The Elements of Pizza Of course a pizza-focused cookbook has a safe place on my shelves! This felt a little like cheating because I already have a dough recipe that I love, so I am mostly using this for topping inspiration… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/f1a79820-9298-4599-9e19-cbadf2ba7487/IMG_1460.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: All finished!

The Great Book of Yorkshire Pudding Another book that is staying safely on the shelf. Jonathan introduced me to the world of Yorkshire puddings and I have to say that I love them. We usually make a batch and then fill them with whatever bits and bobs are floating around in our fridge, so I tried a recipe this time that involves adding cooked apples to the batter before baking it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1f619b5c-47e4-47ed-9e09-39da9eb019d0/IMG_1511.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: All finished! - Make it stand out Cooking apple slices in a little bit of butter and sugar first… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/03632356-5c26-4c57-a87f-eb92c715c1a3/IMG_1514.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: All finished! - Make it stand out Cooked apples and batter, ready for assembly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/2561c6a0-0e2a-43e8-b3b9-711b98a30155/IMG_1515.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: All finished! - Make it stand out Yorkshire puddings come together too quickly for me to document, so I only have the end result which really don’t have the distinctive Yorkshire pudding pocket. These were good with ice cream on top but I think I’d just make the filling separately next time instead of trying to cook it within the batter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/c218dc8e-f796-462c-baca-c6dd10e8b0d2/IMG_1580.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: All finished! - #3. Recipes for Kate There’s no way I was getting rid of this book within this project; there’s no way I am ever doing anything but treasuring this book forever. My friend Carrie made this for me as a wedding gift and collected so many amazing recipes from my family and friends in it. It’s one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received and it was the obvious choice to end this project on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/f416ed8d-6743-49af-9be1-f87f8ff95708/IMG_1586.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: All finished! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/recent-pieces monthly 0.5 2021-12-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/90043800-aa7c-4074-9af7-21ed7b98678c/474A05FE-6F59-4DCA-A183-6579E3F27B56.JPG Blog - Recent pieces - Make it stand out Fall in Seattle.

The Complete Encyclopedia of Vegetables and Vegetarian Cooking I think this is the cookbook I’ve owned the longest? My mom bought it for me a while ago when I first became a vegetarian and it is a stellar source of information! I’ve cooked a lot of savory dishes from it, so I decided to go a different direction this tine and chose a cardamom and saffron tea loaf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/44ef44fc-6cd9-4913-b0a7-c752228fa4d5/IMG_1224.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? Did I choose it based almost entirely on the cardamom? Perhaps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/e5ff4dc5-de9e-411e-9082-3732b09421b6/IMG_1238.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? The recipe called for raisins but I swapped those out for goji berries because that’s what I had on hand (as an aside: I highly recommend including goji berries in your granola!). This photo is pre-proofing and is taken about the time when I realized I was continuing my trend of accidentally making giant recipes without checking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/c7a09619-0310-433b-9ccc-e69fc7d01770/IMG_1240.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? - The result: I really liked the taste of this loaf although I think I could have easily doubled the cardamom in it. My issue was with the cooking time as the middle of this (very large and very dense) loaf definitely still had some raw spots. I probably should have seen this coming, but at least I’ll know for next time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/7bc8497d-d7e3-4765-8bdf-7f325b532baa/IMG_1316.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? - #2. Ottolenghi: The Cookbook How did I get this far into this project and not do all of my Ottolenghi cookbooks already? I love Ottolenghi recipes and the ones in this book are no different. I figured the raspberry and nut bars would be a good addition to our Thanksgiving menu! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/f9760568-c8d0-495c-ba02-d67c364bac47/IMG_1317.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? - Make it stand out Step one: a little oat bar base goes for a quick bake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/f249e1a5-b45a-4a73-a83f-9bc34637fa19/IMG_1320.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? - Make it stand out Step two: cover that with lingonberry jam when you discover that you are actually out of raspberry jam! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/50b761cb-4467-42ef-be7c-ae70a45f8e71/IMG_1324.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Possibly for the next-to-last time? - Make it stand out Cover all that goodness in a layer of mixed nuts and a brown butter/sugar mixture and it goes back into the oven, only to turn into these gooey, crumbly bars. https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/my-experience-with-print-on-demand-sites monthly 0.5 2021-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1637785394110-NR2EOP0LK84AE33RAWMK/ssrco%2Cdad_hat%2Cproduct%2CFFFDF5_8c3db69414%2Cfront%2Csquare%2C600x600-bg%2Cf8f8f8.jpeg Blog - My experience with print-on-demand sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1637785842500-4A90O83EVV36M31BP1P9/lakeside6061464-cases.jpeg Blog - My experience with print-on-demand sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1637785394993-9ESV78W2ZH70U45RIDYU/throwpillow%2Csmall%2C1000x-bg%2Cf8f8f8-c%2C0%2C200%2C1000%2C1000.jpeg Blog - My experience with print-on-demand sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1637785841775-5QRBYGXB829L879TY825/mountain-sunrise6060886-bags.jpeg Blog - My experience with print-on-demand sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/d56077c2-bd02-421e-bef0-6b118195abad/Screen+Shot+2021-11-24+at+12.27.02+PM.png Blog - My experience with print-on-demand sites - Make it stand out There’s something very satisfying about the outside of my current sketchbook having my artwork on it! https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/cookbook-project-quick-and-easy monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/c1297596-7c21-43b3-b788-68ade3c8b2ee/IMG_0912.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Quick and Easy… - #1. The City Gardener’s Cookbook I love the P-Patches around the city so obviously I love this cookbook inspired by them! I picked this up at a used bookstore, so it has notes on some of the recipes from a former owner. I decided to make a cookie recipe that involves cooked beets mostly because I couldn’t even imagine how these would taste! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/aa48806c-6531-4ecb-ba57-6339e20e9a30/IMG_0913.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Quick and Easy… Adding the beets and feeling kind of skeptical… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/133b7dfa-4e81-4bac-b862-381fbd162cc6/IMG_0922.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Quick and Easy… Post bake and feeling better about these! They spread more than I wanted them to, but tasted surprisingly good - the recipe called for cardamom (my fave) and nutmeg so they were really pleasant and felt perfect for fall! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/a72d6b15-7917-489d-8f8e-d579e789bb7b/IMG_0916.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Quick and Easy… - #2. Vegan Meal Plan for Beginners Jonathan bought me this book as I am eating more and more vegan food. At first, I wasn’t sure what I’d want to cook from it. There are a lot of recipes that are either for pantry staples that I already have or for some kinds of “faux meat” which I don’t usually like. However, the fried tofu eggs appealed to me. I try to eat a vegan diet before dinner every day, which means I miss out on egg sandwiches in the morning. A tofu replacement sounded appealing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/e8f72010-a80e-4ede-8b78-ef984e1fa7c3/IMG_0919.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Quick and Easy… - Make it stand out First up, marinating the tofu.

The Antarctic Book of Cooking and Cleaning This is one of my favorite books that I own, but I definitely think of it more as a photo essay than a cookbook. And although it’s always floating around in the back of my mind, the fact that the recipes were developed for large groups of people and therefore make large quantities of food escaped my mind when I picked the honey oatmeal bread to make. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1634671084460-LUE77KLLBQABT4ALVGZX/IMG_0130.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Back at it!

Six Seasons Thank goodness my next choice was more vegetable-focused! I wanted to make the Burnt Carrots with Honey, Black Pepper, Butter, and Almonds from this book, although I switched it up a bit and tossed in some cauliflower, beans, and other bits and bobs from our veggie drawer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1634672119725-X9PFW05RC8C6KP7ZZ42G/IMG_0147.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Back at it! - Make it stand out I wasn’t worried about this being anything but delicious.

Studio Olafur Eliasson: The Kitchen This book was a treat I bought myself in grad school to celebrate the end of my thesis. I’ve made quite a few things from it but, similar to the first book in this post, always forget that these recipes are made to feed a lot of people. So there’s a lot of this spinach and parmesan polenta still floating around our kitchen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1634672391095-IIC4I48J9FH839NNFV6V/IMG_0224.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Back at it!

Date Night In I actually only used one cookbook for everything, but it’s one of my favorites. The author sets full menus, with multiple dishes, so I just picked one of those that I hadn’t made anything from before and was on my way! The menu this time included thyme lemonade, some small antipasto dishes, a panzanella salad, and a peach dessert. I don’t think there was a weak recipe in the bunch. All the different recipes also meant I had an excuse to use almost all of the beautiful pottery in our kitchen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1622562044794-Y6UK7EIJ6PRMUNZ86R58/IMG_9702.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Cooking for company First up: roasted red peppers and lemony white beans. The pepper dish called for anchovies, but since I don’t eat fish, I swapped those for miso paste instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1622562112830-ECQRV3NP25WYYS8IDFDS/IMG_9689.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Cooking for company Panzanella, pre-assembly. The recipe includes both roasted and raw cherry tomatoes, peaches, and a healthy dose of goat cheese. These are the leftovers I’m most excited about! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1622562208317-2JIN4YCNQ5KLL5YNMAEX/IMG_9703.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Cooking for company How could you not be excited about this salad? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1622562244037-L9OFVC8QDEW5ANR5S0WF/IMG_9707.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Cooking for company - Make it stand out Peaches and ginger with brown butter graham crackers and whipped cream (plus a peek at the thyme lemonade in the background!). https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/cookbook-project-vegan-edition monthly 0.5 2021-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621445892078-7OXVPWHU9Y50RRHJ6V5A/IMG_9259+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - #1. Southern Vegan There are so many recipes in this book that I want to cook, but the sweet-and-spicy cornbread looked too good to not start with that one! Foolishly, I didn’t actually check to see if I had enough cornmeal to make this until I had already begun the recipe. I ended up only having about half of what I needed and used a blend of other flours to make up the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621445995058-9NG1N60ZVHWIATO7Q30P/IMG_9263+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition There’s a healthy amount of spice in this recipe (as well as corn kernels) that I figured the missing cornmeal wouldn’t be the end of the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446097020-DK8MJZDRD3AZC2NW0GYX/IMG_9264+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition I didn’t really think about how the different flours would affect the texture so that was a bit off in the end. However, the spices were so good that I am planning on making this again once I pick up more cornmeal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446205425-A76HIR35BRHPFVAKD1Q0/IMG_9280+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - #2. The Homemade Vegan Pantry This book is beautiful and full of pantry staples that I never really considered making, like vegan butter and tofu! Some of the recipes are so far out of my comfort zone that they’re a little intimidating, but the crackers recipe seemed like a good one to start with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446304804-IKC4NTKB5308V5V8VZ2W/IMG_9287+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition The recipe has you divide the dough in half so I made one half into salt and pepper crackers and the other into turmeric spiced crackers. I didn’t roll the dough out nearly as thinly as I should have, so these ended up tasty, but more doughy than you would expect crackers to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446453036-IASK1K0XH9YNLFC74UON/IMG_9290+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446570669-2ECBG81DH4ZBODXSSDBS/IMG_9356+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - #3. Flavor Another Ottolenghi cookbook, another stellar recipe! I make no secret of how much I love Ottolenghi recipes and these roasted potatoes with harissa, tahini, and soy are easily one of my favorites. My only regret about this recipe is that I didn’t double the tahini soy dressing so that I could put it on everything I eat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446697286-MAUOQM9L5GZM8GVAAZDT/34ECFEFB-0312-42CF-AD3E-B4434388BC0B+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition This recipe comes together very easily - another bonus! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446743745-WCUVF2TVIVTWKRVL07YJ/IMG_9374+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition I ate these potatoes with three straight meals and I 100% would have continued that streak if we had any more leftovers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621446844533-J58KD9EWJ5ICYW35RH5J/IMG_9428+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - #4. Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook I’ve never actually seen Forks Over Knives but I can say that the accompanying cookbook covers a lot of ground when it comes to vegan food! I chose to make green chile rices and beans first. Mostly because - and I can think of at least three people in my life who will roll their eyes when they read this - I didn’t realize you made green chile rice by …cooking green chiles and rice together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621447666041-9ZKMVHF7YNFGVP366V04/IMG_9430+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - Make it stand out Definitely a technique I feel like I could have pieced together a long time ago, but here we are! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1621447747221-6IOPD5QU4VXUJUMFF8VR/IMG_9438+2.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Vegan edition - Make it stand out My only issue with this recipe is that the book really presents this dish as a full meal! I think it’s a great thing to add to a burrito with veggies and some vegan cheese, but I don’t think I’d be content with this alone. https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/100/100/done monthly 0.5 2021-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1620686656180-6XNB6XJQOEQHADCHM86U/IMG_9302.jpg Blog - 100/100: Done and dusted!

Indian-ish I got this cookbook from the library initially, but after flipping through it and bookmarking pretty much every other recipe, I figured I needed my own copy! I wanted to make “Priya’s Dal” because 1. I pretty much love all dal and 2. the headnote for the recipe talks about how it’s the best dal. After making it, I think I agree. I made this in our Instant Pot which made it incredibly easy. Bottom line: I will be making this again. Probably very soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619919024609-ITWDAKV4UGUBFULHYV0T/IMG_8939.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos I remembered to take a photo while heating up cumin seeds in oil, but the process goes so quickly after that step that I barely had a chance to grab my phone! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619918883344-8MJBKAUNTQZ88LWKL2JG/IMG_8936.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos At least I remembered a couple of glamour shots at the end! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619919350022-G2CGWMIZ0L99BL8VCR4T/IMG_8938.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619919375020-VOUHHG55VXO336AN2T0K/IMG_8935.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos - #2. Soup & Bread Cookbook I’ve had this book for a long time and I have made a lot of the vegetarian recipes from it. But there’s a roasted parsnip and celery root recipe that I had never tried before. This recipe was also a hit! It feels surprisingly light and perfect for spring even with all of the roasted veggies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619920002960-DEO6ZR7NLR3VE8GIA9VY/IMG_8943.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos So hearty! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619919898168-S1NB995F0OZWJMZFUH44/IMG_9115.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos - #3. The New Way to Cake This is another cookbook that I initially checked out from the library and then realized that there were so many recipes I wanted to make from it that I should buy a copy. I started out with the Golden Turmeric Cake, which is amazing. It’s more savory than sweet and is such a bright, cheery yellow. The recipe recommends using one of two specialty pans that I don’t own, but I am considering buying one because I know I’ll be making this again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1619920415866-C8BWZO4ABG7WT2WKUJWI/IMG_9117.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Great recipes with not-so-great photos The cake doesn’t look great, mostly due to my pan substitution and messing up on the order of operations.

Another Fork in the Trail Flipping through this book made me realize how many great-looking recipes were in it! I ended up bookmarking a couple that weren’t going to make the cut for this camping weekend, but will probably get made at home in the near future. I went with a trail mix recipe for this trip - sugared almonds with dried berries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1618853384522-HCM1IVYZWOBT1SX25HE0/IMG_8690.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Camping edition! Attempting to prep my space - the recipe has you toasting almonds, then heating up butter and maple syrup and adding the almonds back in, so I knew it would move quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1618853483589-3SI25LZ8YRL7BIST6QGR/IMG_8693.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Camping edition! Once the sugar is added, you spread the almonds out and let everything dry before adding the berries. You have to move quickly when heating up the maple syrup, but this recipe couldn’t be easier otherwise! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1618853506068-8RRX1ANP6R2QJ0CW9RUM/IMG_8783.JPG Blog - Cookbook Project: Camping edition!

Campfire Cookbook This cookbook actually came on the trip with us. One benefit of car camping meant that we could pack luxuries like the cast iron dutch oven without having to worry about the weight of carrying it so I fully took advantage of that and picked a lentil chili recipe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1618853768322-34S7VIMWX77E4A0TIRAY/IMG_8791.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Camping edition!

ATK’s DIY Cookbook I’ve had this book for a while - my friend worked on it and sent me a copy.

Whole Food Cooking Every Day (again!) The cookbook I started it all off with! Since I got this right before I decided to cook through all my cookbooks, I felt like I needed to use it at least twice (and there were plenty of recipes in there that I wanted to make, so doing two wasn’t going to be difficult!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1615427506898-GNVPX8LX1BRPQKVKAO66/IMG_7988.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Making progress I went with the root vegetable soup this time, full of ginger and coriander.

Plenty I made the two-potato vindaloo from Ottolenghi’s Plenty, which was another hit for me from an Ottolenghi book. The recipe starts with a bunch of different spices, which is what initially caught my eye. The result was a super flavorful dish with tons of leftovers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613440964866-5LQX85JWNPQT4KH4O3PE/IMG_7409.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet!

Molly on the Range I love this cookbook so much. I love the way it’s written and laid out and I love the tone of voice that Molly Yeh uses in it. There’s a delicious hazelnut chocolate cake in the book that happens to be vegan, so I have made that recipe a lot since buying this book for myself. This time, I went with the “Party Trick Peanut Butter Cake” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613441370948-EZJKEDTOOS88GIO9395L/IMG_7424.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet! Too big for my cake stand! This cake is delicious and dangerously easy to make. After making it, I found out that my husband isn’t a big fan of peanut butter desserts (his loss is my gain!) so I ended up making some socially-distanced dessert drop-offs to ensure that I couldn’t eat this whole cake by myself… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613441581072-ZUP6GNQ8N8HNF8QZPMK8/IMG_7478.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet! - #3. My Portugal My partner, Jonathan, and I were planning to take a belated honeymoon trip to Portugal this past spring, but the pandemic obviously changed that plan. So while our honeymoon is postponed, I thought it’d be fun to make some Portuguese food to enjoy in the meantime. When I was flipping through this book, however, I found a skillet cornbread recipe instead and changed my plan pretty quickly! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613441718225-SPKTIL0Q3U3N8FULUKER/IMG_7488.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet! This cornbread is more savory than what I’m used to, but still delicious! It also featured the last of the thyme I was able to harvest from our yard before the surprise snowstorm we got in Seattle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613441804473-NB6LT6R9ZC88GQP94RGX/IMG_7613.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet! - #4. Moosewood Restaurant: Cooking for Health This is one of the cookbooks on my shelf that I think about a lot but rarely cook from for some reason? But the fact that the miso tofu I made disappeared before I remembered to take a picture of it seems like a good indicator that I ought to pull this one off the shelf more frequently! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613441966863-MBQ3DGT4BZOVO3EKU4Z4/IMG_7620.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet! - #5. The Natural Witch’s Cookbook My friend Devon gave me this cookbook for Christmas last year and while it’s a little more spiritual than I am usually drawn towards, it also has some really interesting looking recipes! Valentine’s Day felt like a good day to make the chocolate pear cloud cake recipe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1613442104138-1W7CW2U1UIEESR0TMLI1/IMG_7626.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Short & sweet! The result. This cake is SO rich. It is delicious, but the recipe mentions that it’s as good for breakfast as it is for dessert, which is almost impressive to me! https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/ten-days-in monthly 0.5 2021-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919306468-SWOPADJRG7J3LGAS30BA/IMG_7498.jpg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Kicking the whole project off with my brand new porcelain palette! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919332287-W1LIF95K662LP0EPM8GS/IMG_7499.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Rabbit Rabbit for the first of the month! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919370875-F6T9ABGSBC88ERX4MYFL/IMG_7502.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days I had this image of Ursa Minor in watercolors, but my sketchbook did not hold up to the amount of water I ended up using! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919465628-H9QL92POO0BVXJAA6D7X/IMG_7507.jpg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Garden planning and researching Rose of Sharon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919479541-8H8LH096HAIEYY0V563R/IMG_7504.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Based on a pottery rabbit hole on Pinterest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919557251-8P957ZWUEED2S1M6MFND/IMG_7509.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Six wands for Day Six! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919587509-3YILC4N5NA9GVCUKNPY6/IMG_7512.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days I watch a lot of Taskmaster and, for whatever reason, Kerry Godliman’s catchphrase always sticks in my head and makes a good warmup word for hand lettering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919662617-6QLPG68A2M27JG2XL6D0/IMG_7513.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days I keep a picture of Þúfa, an outdoor art piece in Reykjavik, above my computer because it is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919762741-POJV9359HCX6KMB3NXPJ/IMG_7516.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Who doesn’t love painting tiny mushrooms? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612919790063-RED0IZ36UIP9HXA78X0F/IMG_7517.jpeg Blog - Ten days in on my 100 days Thinking about bees and honeycomb and playing with pattern and repetition https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/cookbook-project-weekend-recipes monthly 0.5 2021-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612202652893-VGNIMEXV9AS7G0CVWX1M/IMG_7328.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Weekend recipes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612202903424-8PFK8FPHZV8FOCW3VYMP/IMG_7326.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Weekend recipes First steps first, making the poolish the night before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612202985996-2GYHBSFWZ2YB5P2R45AQ/IMG_7329.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Weekend recipes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1612203193007-4EP4U6F84HVSC1395V41/IMG_7331.jpg Blog - Cookbook Project: Weekend recipes Pre-shaping.

A tiny felted cauldron. My most recent finished project. I have a lot of super bulky yarn from an old project so I’m pushing myself to find ways to use up the remnants. What better way than making a tiny cauldron? I knitted up a wonky little basket shape, knowing that the top rim would naturally curl back on itself because it was all just knit in the round. Once I had it to the size I wanted (read: once the skein I was using was almost gone), I starting making the bottom. When it was done, I got it wet and put it in my dryer with a couple of beach towels. Once it was pretty felted, I left it to dry over a wool dryer ball with a couple of rubber bands at the rim to hold the shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607626344180-VAONE7VM73LTEJ705L0U/IMG-6817.jpg Blog - A love of textiles and a love of making. My first embroidery project! I’m doing an international craft project with my Netherlands-based friend. After a lot of back and forth on about what we both wanted to do, we chose this gorgeous kit from Hoffelt and Hooper. It has been such a fun way to spend my evenings lately. It turns out that I really enjoy making French knots, although I am only at the beginning of this project. I imagine I might feel differently once I’m closer to the end! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607625924028-1D95RMYP4IWZ8367KNEB/IMG-6802.jpg Blog - A love of textiles and a love of making. A 1910s wool cape. American Duchess released a free pattern for this beautiful wrap-around cape pattern that was a perfect match for this black and white wool that I’ve had in my stash for a while. My Zoom calls have all gotten a lot fancier since I finished this. I do need to fix the wonky hem at some point, but I’ve honestly been wearing this at my computer every day since the day I finished it, so that will have to wait! https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/category/Textiles monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/category/Painting monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/digital monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/100days monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/watercolors monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/textiles monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/knitting monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/pottery monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/painting monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/paintings monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/drawing monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/illustration monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/cookbookproject monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/mixed+media monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/blog/tag/photography monthly 0.5 https://www.katerosendale.com/about daily 0.75 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1633544128251-435ESO0TN1UKKH4UWMNX/Headshot+%281%29.jpeg About + Contact -

In addition to an overview of the entire collection, I focused on the life of John F. Hielscher, who went to the Klondike during the gold rush in 1897 and ended up spending about 13 years of his life in Alaska while his wife and children stayed in Seattle. I was lucky that a good portion of the park’s collection came from Hielscher and included many letters back to his family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607628405425-K0ECYM1EDZWEHSRKKWAP/timeline-1.jpg https://www.katerosendale.com/work/allegheny-portage monthly 0.5 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607629784069-J52J0M12I57OZ6ZHF0XY/alpo_wall.jpg Work - Allegheny Portage Railroad The exhibits were designed to create large immersive spaces in the visitor center and reuse as many existing models and artifacts as possible.

Although there aren't many historic photos of the railroad itself, we were able to use some wonderful photos like this one to help set the scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607629778501-XY6CCS7H4GR8F26HEC4L/ALPO_GL-03.03-200.jpg Work - Allegheny Portage Railroad We used reading rails and existing illustrations as additional opportunities to pull in the bright colors that were present in the scale models. The illustrations throughout the exhibits had been done by a local artist, Steve Patricia, for the previous iteration of the visitor center exhibits. I was so happy to find places to refresh them and include them in our new design. https://www.katerosendale.com/work/isky monthly 0.5 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/5268506e-67cd-486d-b1bf-10912d75048b/cany_overview.jpg Work - Island in the Sky An overview of the main exhibit space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/3c1c8a90-9c0d-451f-9826-cfa08ab48433/cany_corner.jpg Work - Island in the Sky Exhibits include custom murals from a commissioned artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/614526b2-e9cc-43f2-9701-446e03e8a08a/20210311_161242%5B1%5D.jpg Work - Island in the Sky Freestanding dioramas provide opportunities for tactiles and interactive elements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607629063388-ESFFI32BU1ZXG1IIR5W3/CANY_GL-01.01-500.png Work - Island in the Sky One of the anchoring points of the exhibits is a a large, six-sided tactile map of the park, surrounded on each side by angled reading rails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607629069514-4BV15YMS5G6SFZVDRX48/CANY_GL-02.01-200.jpg Work - Island in the Sky We were able to take advantage of a wonderful collection of photography at the park, so the graphics showcased photography wherever possible and used cutout shapes to highlight the gorgeous rock features at Canyonlands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd267ee8998e06c8f26b4ab/1607629072877-IRM0E12QW6GD5TPKWIPD/CANY_GL-03.02-465.jpg Work - Island in the Sky The exhibits included a herbarium with individual cards for many of the plants commonly seen at Canyonlands.
