1 month ago | tablemagazine.com | Stephen Treffinger |Danny Mankin |Keith Recker |Abbey Cook

Like the sun-washed marble of ancient temples, warm neutrals at these Pittsburgh shops suggest elegance and timeless appeal. Let yourself dive into these calming tones and fill both your home and closet with this trend. Even when the trend passes, as they all do, their peaceful qualities will remain.

Surrealism Tops Spring 2025 Fashion and Home Trends

1 month ago | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker |Danny Mankin |Stephen Treffinger

As we predicted in our trends last year, surrealism is having a moment. Is it a reaction to our otherworldly onscreen lives, or the turbulence of public sphere … or both? Designer LISA TODD adds a witty wink to your new favorite cashmere sweater with sequin elbow patches. Pair its relaxed silhouette with a breezy ballet skirt and you’ll find yourself floating surreally over the events of the day.
Triple Citrus Shortbread Squares

1 month ago | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker

What can we say? We’re suckers for edible spring flowers like pansies. Their reappearance means we can sprinkle them on everything from salads to desserts…like these Triple Citrus Shortbread Squares. Bite into these handheld delights that start with a simple shortbread make with flavor-brightening oranges, lemons, and limes. On top of each of these shortbread squares, you’ll also find a dollop of just-sweet-enough homemade whipped cream. You can even infuse with whipped cream with limoncello.
Mother's Day Lavender Lemon Drop

1 month ago | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker

The Lemon Drop’s blend of lemon and orange flavors make it a natural fit to mix with lavender, which we consider to be a great representation of Mother’s Day. Lavender is calming, soothing, much like a mother’s love. All you have to do is replace the drink’s simple syrup with lavender simple syrup and you have a knock out citrus-lavender-vodka cocktail. You can even dress up the simple presentation by garnishing with a lemon twist or a lavender sprig.
Lemon Artichoke and Triple Tomato Hummus Two Ways

1 month ago | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker

Hummus is one of our favorite dishes because it is delicious, easy to make, and very versatile. There are hundreds of ways to prepare a batch but here are two of our favorites for a great appetizer or afternoon snack. It may be confusing how little chickpeas can transform into a smooth, creamy hummus spread without any dairy. The blending process using a food processor is what breaks down cooked chickpeas for the base.

Perkins and also featuring photography by frequent TABLE Magazine contributor Dave Bryce, makes the most famous house of the 20th century ours.
The Frick Family's Gilded Tableware

Clayton, the Frick family’s Pittsburgh home, sheltered Henry and Adelaide Frick and their three children. It also housed the numerous staff members who kept the Fricks looking polished and well organized.

Semolina Cake for Father's Day

2 months ago | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker

Dad is tough when he needs to be, and tender all the time. Celebrate Father’s Day with a cake that benefits from the firm toothiness of semolina, even as its rich, aromatic flavors embrace the palate. We also topped the cake with edible flowers, and you can decide which garnish you want for the most festive dessert. Enjoy! (And maybe pair with a Father’s Day cocktail?)First off, you want to pick the right semolina for the recipe. There are two types of semolina: fine and coarse.
Baileys Irish Coffee

Mar 3, 2025 | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker

when there is still a chill in the air, a hot Baileys Irish Coffee is a great alternative to an Espresso Martini. Both can give you a little pick-me-up so you can stay up later with the ones you love. But only the Baileys Irish Coffee will keep you warm. It’s super simple to make with just hot coffee, Baileys, and sugar as your three main ingredients. From there you can get creative with how you make this recipe uniquely yours.
Strawberry Leprechaun Boozy Baileys Smoothie

Mar 3, 2025 | tablemagazine.com | Keith Recker

While everyone else sticks to hard shots and pints of Guinness, blend up a Strawberry Leprechaun Boozy Smoothie this St. Patrick’s Day for a cocktail you’ll genuinely enjoy drinking. It has just a slight sweetness from the use of Baileys (or our homemade Irish Cream, which we have to say makes this recipe even better) and Cointreau.
