Recipes from the Room :: Coffee Rubbed Rib Steaks

This lovely room with it's neutral palette is really brought to life with it's green accents and it's warm anchors of vintage wood.

The first thing that came to my mind was something homey and straightforward. Cue the Coffee Rubbed Rib Steaks served with a fresh green salad.

This springy pink room immediately has me thinking Strawberry Shortcake with fresh whipped cream.

The strawberries are so good right now (at least here) how can you resist?

Recipe from the Room: Croissants

This room designed by Courtney Giles with it's warm toasty fabrics and rich woods immediately made me think of a simple but favorite combination of mine of croissants and cappuccinos. I haven't actually ever tried to make a croissant only because I know that all of those buttery layers are lot of work and I know my baking skills wouldn't do it justice. Here is a recipe but my advice to you would be to head to your local patisserie and choose your favorite. Mine is almond...yum.

Recipe from the Room: Chocolate Chile Bread Pudding

Don't you think that this warm toasty room gets a huge kick of spice from the artwork? Well I think that Chocolate Chile Bread Pudding is the perfect recipe for it. I adore sweet and spicy desserts and good ole' Epicurious suggests a Duck Pozole to serve as the main course with our spicy treat, mmm.

Recipe from the Room - Lemon Ginger Cake with Pistachios

I always love Coco + Kelley's Rooms from the Runway and I thought I might change it up a little because while I love fashion, I'm usually sporting a men's Hanes V-Neck White Tee [I think I may be obsessed with them, but that's another post]. So I thought it might be fun to create Recipes from the Room. I love design and well who doesn't like something tasty?
