On Focaccia

With pestooooooooooooooo!

Reminder: tickets are now on sale for my still life photography workshop with Indigo & Violet Studio on May 2. Learn more about the event and snag your seat here.

Welcome to the Friday post for paid subscribers, a focaccia recipe that was loosely adapted from the one in Claire Saffitz’s marvelous Dessert Person. On Tuesday, all subscribers will receive an interview with a first-time author of a photography business book. As always, check out more of my work (or consider booking my photography services!) here.

Another quick one today. I love making focaccia at home, and there are too many good recipes out there to enjoy. This one, from my friend Jeanelle at Book and Salt, is stuffed full of lemons and olives. The one in Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is so salty and delicious that I could eat the entire tray by myself.

This pesto focaccia could be more of a flatbread, I suppose. It’s got the rich, herbaceous flavor of the pesto and the saltiness of the cheese, and all of those flavors are laced through with the peppery taste of olive oil.
