Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

About Me

{hi, I’m Ksenia!}

Saffron & Honey is a food and lifestyle blog focused on bringing a Provencal sensibility & joie de vivre to everyday cooking, living, & traveling. EAT CHIC!

“It is more than sunshine that draws us to Provence: We come because life here seems more real, less modern, more slowly paced, more personal, and more richly man than almost any other place we know on earth.” – Patricia Wells

Saffron & Honey originally started circa 2009, when three friends met in London. Pursuits of life and food took us all in different directions – mine being back to New York and towards culinary school – and s&h now resides here. You can look back on our archived adventures and have a laugh.

I graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York in 2011 and now live in Greenwich Village with my dorky surfer husband, our little boy Henry and my calico cat, Twix, aiming to make life as interesting, slow, and beautiful as it can be (read more about my home here!). We are now also spending more time in Maui, Hawaii, beginning a new adventure in 2022. 

Like me, Saffron & Honey is always in transit, searching for color and inspiration in the things of everyday.

My family has made their home in France, and I shuttle back and forth. My French could always use some improvement! I love sharing French cooking, French products, and my fondness for the Provencal spirit with all of you.

I write about food, travel, and fashion, and I love cooking and tasting food in kitchens around the world. Currently, I am the NYC Editor at VRAI Magazine.

Join me along this journey to cook and live colorfully and to bring a piece of my beloved Provence to a small kitchen in NYC. It is documented daily on my Instagram account :).

#MothersDay #GiftGuides are live on the blog! // tried and true favorites (that can still surprise) + 🎁 for those who are particularly hard to shop for (you know who you are 🤣) // link in my profile or just head to #saffronandhoney.com ❤️ ps. My favorites are probably the ILYSM necklace (it’s a steal at $40!) and the “I can buy myself cauliflowers” bag - unexpected, useful, and sure to elicit a big laugh!

I haven’t met a tinted moisturizer, #skintint or luminizer / “glow,” whatever you want to call it, that I haven’t tried yet // it’s my preferred choice of light base - and while some $$ alternatives are pretty nice, @lorealparis Lumi Glotion blows them all out of the water (this is the medium glow color fyi, there are other shades). Find it @cvspharmacy ! // or shop here: https://creatoriq.cc/4cUsm8Y #cvstinttested #cvspartner #ad
