recipe: homemade nutella

Homemade Nutella from Sunday Suppers 

Homemade Nutella
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Yield: 2 jars

1 2/3 cup hazelnuts

1 3/4 cup whole milk

6 tbsp. confectioners sugar 

Pinch of salt

2 tbsp. canola oil
12 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped

Special equipment: food processor

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and roast them for 12 minutes, until the hazelnuts are browned and the skins are blistered a little. Wrap them in a kitchen towel and rub to remove as much loose skin as possible. Set aside.

In a small saucepan warm the whole milk with the sugar and salt just until it starts to boil. Remove from heat.

In a bowl over a water bath, (or in a microwave), melt the chocolate.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, grind the warm hazelnuts and almonds until they’re as fine as possible. Add the melted chocolate and oil and continue to process the mixture. Add the warm milk mixture and process until everything is smoothly combined. Transfer the mixture into two jars and refrigerate until ready to use. 

I love the idea of little sprinkle of sea salt on top!

interview with suno via nylon

Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty of Suno talk about their Spring/Summer collection.

Suno was launched in 2009 after post-election violence threatened  to damage the economy and industry in Kenya, a long time second home to Osterweis.

Using vintage Kenyan textiles that Osterweis had been collecting for years, they created their first small collection, produced predominantly in Kenya. 

Since its inception, Suno has eeolved its business to include production in Keny, India, Peru ad its home base of New York. Via a combination of traditional, local techniques and high-end tailoring, as well as an emphasisi on fit and fabric, Suno is able to offer a global, unique view of the luxury world in an accessible way.

decorating inspiration: wallpaper

 If you are a little hesitant to do a whole room of wallpaper, start with a wall or section of your home like above. A hallway or closet would be divine!

This floral wallpaper reminds us of staying at our grandma’s place.

The gold really illuminates this space and creates warmth.

Aaaaah Jane Birkin, such an icon. This photo above was a huge inspiration for MiH jeans and their SS12 collection. In fact, they even named their Birkin shirt in honor of her. It’s perfect to wear with your favorite pair of Oslos or tucked into a summery skirt
