  • NOTES & SUNDRIES

    Welcome! to cucina nicolina, where I ramble on about the (vegetarian) cooking life in and out of my little second-floor kitchen in San Francisco.

    I'm a writer, baker, runner, avid home cook, native Californian, and coffee swiller. On this site you'll find my favorite recipes, lots of photos, love notes to my beloved home state, and general thoughts on food and life. More about me.
