Soup season is here, and Chef Starr of @thetasterymd has the perfect recipe for it. 🍅🥣

Her roasted tomato bisque is creamy, comforting, and even better with a grilled cheese on the side.

Tomato bisque, because a bowl of soup can absolutely be the main character.

Fresh tomatoes roasted at 400°, sweet roasted garlic, vegetable stock, smoked sea salt, black pepper, and just a touch of honey to bring it all together.

The roasting is what takes this from “tomato soup” to okayyyy, Chef.
Smooth, rich, savory, slightly smoky, and made for dipping something buttery and crispy into.

This is your sign to grab those tomatoes and turn them into something cozy.
Save this one for soup season.

Cookbook Soirée with Carla Hall hosted by @dinediaspora
When The Tastery gets out of the kitchen, we’re usually still talking about food.

I bought a ticket and headed to Washington, D.C. for a beautiful evening celebrating Carla Hall and her latest cookbook, Carla’s Bakes.
And y’all… this is exactly why I love being in food spaces.
Good conversation. Good food. A little wine @brownestate . Live cooking. Meeting people. And getting inspired by another chef’s story and creative process.

We heard Carla talk about her love of baking and the stories behind Carla’s Bakes, enjoyed book-inspired bites, and watched chefs Joe Marshall and Mr. Bake do their thing in the kitchen.
And yes, I bought the cookbook. Because apparently I needed another one.

I left inspired, full, and ready to get back in my own kitchen.

Congratulations, Carla, on Carla’s Bakes!

Happy first day of fall! 🍂

And before anybody asks… yes, we do eat vegetables.

But listen… sometimes you just need a warm, buttery rosemary biscuit to make everything right.

Flaky, tender, herby, and perfect alongside a cozy bowl of soup. Because around here, we love our vegetables… but we LOVE carbs.

Consider this your official invitation to carb season.

Leftover hot dog buns? Don’t toss them, turn them into BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE.

This is my kind of kitchen cheat code: taking what you have and making it taste like you planned it all along.

I used:
• 6 eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• A little sea salt
• Brown sugar
• Sweet Cream coffee creamer YUP that’s the cheat code
• Leftover hot dog buns
• Maple syrup for serving

Whisk the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt and sweet cream creamer together to make your custard. Pour it over the bread, sprinkle with brown sugar, and let it soak up all that goodness.

Bake at 375°F for about 15–20 minutes,until golden and set.

Finish with warm maple syrup and serve.

Because sometimes the best dishes start with what’s already in the kitchen.
Waste less. Create more. Make it delicious.

A little kitchen tip from Chef Starr.

If you’re keeping fresh ginger on hand for your fall wellness routine, here’s how I store mine:

I keep the ginger **dry and unpeeled**, wrap it in a paper towel, and place it in a glass container with the lid.

Simple. Clean. Easy.

Fresh ginger is one of those ingredients I like to have ready to go—especially this time of year when I’m making my ginger turmeric shots.

**Fall wellness starts in the kitchen.**

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on one word: “REST”

Not because I’m slowing down on the dream, but because I’m learning that I don’t have to carry every part of it by myself.

The Tastery Table: The Last Taste of Summer was such a beautiful reminder of that.

The class went incredibly well. The food was good, the energy was right, everyone showed up ready to learn, cook, eat, and enjoy themselves—and I got to do what I love: create an experience around food.

But behind the scenes? I lost an hour and a half of prep time.

And if you know me, you know my brain immediately went into “How am I going to pull this off?! “ mode. 😂

Thankfully, my family support system literally flew in to help me set up. They jumped in, helped me get everything together, and reminded me that sometimes the blessing is having people who will step in when you need them.

That’s part of what this season is teaching me: **rest doesn’t always mean stopping. Sometimes it means trusting, receiving help, and allowing other people to carry something too.**

So, if you’re new here—WELCOME. I’m Chef Starr, and this is The Tastery. Around here, we’re creating good food, meaningful experiences, and building a business one table at a time.

And if you want to follow along beyond Instagram, **subscribe to my newsletter**. That’s where I share what’s happening behind the scenes, upcoming Tastery Table experiences, recipes, business lessons, and a little bit of everything in between.

Here’s to the next season—and learning to make room for “REST” along the way.

Birthday eve activity unlocked: 👩🏾‍🍳✨

As someone who doesn’t typically love to cook, I was a little nervous walking into my cooking class at @thetasterymd… but, it was WAY easier than I expected! 😂

Sometimes adulting is just trying something new and realizing, “Wait… I actually CAN do this.”

10/10 would recommend adding a cooking class to your solo date rotation! 🧡🍴

A little recap of The Last Taste of Summer at The Tastery Table Culinary Workshop…
And honestly… it was a vibe.
Good food, great conversations, lots of laughs, and a room full of people who were ready to get in the kitchen and have some fun.

We cooked, learned new techniques, asked questions, shared stories, and of course, sat down together to enjoy what we made.

What I love most about The Tastery Table is that it’s more than a cooking class. It’s an experience. A place to connect, learn something new, and leave feeling a little more confident in the kitchen.

I’m so glad everyone showed up and brought such great energy to the table.
The Last Taste of Summer was definitely one to remember.
Thank you to everyone who joined me. I can’t wait to see who pulls up to the next table.
