Welcome to the latest installment of "In The Kitchen With," where we invite people we love and admire to create something delicious using our tableware. Today, we're thrilled to welcome fashion influencers Molly and Reese Blutstein into our kitchen. Just as they bring their distinctive eye to style, we were curious to see how their creative sensibilities would translate to the culinary world - they did not disappoint!
In the crowded landscape of fashion influencers, identical twins Molly and Reese have carved out a special place with their distinctive approach to style that feels both nostalgic and utterly of-the-moment. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, they each maintain their own aesthetic identities while sharing an unmistakable sisterly harmony. Reese, who goes by the Instagram handle @double3xposure, brings a studied coolness to vintage-inspired looks, while Molly (@mollyblutstein) counters with effortless chic that makes even the most carefully considered outfit look like she just happened to throw it together perfectly.
What makes the Blutstein twins refreshing is their authentic approach—their photos display a creative eye without being over-produced, their captions feel genuine rather than calculated, and their style remains personal rather than algorithmic. Whether in brand campaigns or mirror selfies, Molly and Reese remind us how fun, important and inspiring it can be to get dressed.
Join us as Molly and Reese share their favorite recipe and chat about food, style, and the creative connections between them.
In The Kitchen With Molly and Reese Blutstein
Q&A with Molly & Reese
1. Your styles blend vintage and contemporary so well. How does that translate to your home décor, especially in the kitchen?
We love to mix in vintage cups and bowls with new items. We are always seeking vintage homewares for our kitchens. We love little silver trays, unique ceramics and trinkets you can’t find new and mixing it with new pieces like nice plates and silverware.
2. As Atlanta natives, does Southern cuisine play a role in your cooking or dining preferences?
Are there any family recipes or local dishes that are special to you? We feel like southern food is more of a comfort food to us but it’s not something we often lean into when cooking. The south is often known for bbq and Atlanta has so many yummy bbq spots. This one place called community bbq is so insanely good. However, we are honestly more into the sides. The collard greens and the beans and Mac n cheese.
3. What’s an album you’re playing on repeat during a dinner party—and on a slow Sunday afternoon?
Always a mix of soul music. We love calming and upbeat soul. Definitely Nina Simone, Cleo Sol, Bobby hebb, Etta James. That’s the vibe we’re going for when hanging at home cooking and eating with loved ones.
4. What’s your biggest dinner guest pet peeve?
Probably someone who smacks or doesn’t take their shoes off at the door.
5. What’s a tip of the trade for hosting a great gathering—or being the perfect guest?
I think making a special little dessert. People are coming over for dinner and expect dinner but it’s always a nice touch and not always expected to have a dessert. Something like a chocolate mousse or chocolate covered dates or a little olive oil cake. Something that people will love and doesn’t take that much effort but will look beautiful.
6. What’s the most “you” thing in your kitchen—a special mug, quirky plate, or favorite spice?
Probably smoked paprika! It’s our favorite spice we truly love to put it on so many things and when we do we put a lot! And we love the Porta folk dinner plate so much. It’s so cute!
Recipe that isn’t really a recipe but always brings joy. A yummy sandwich we had with our friend Aimee France who always makes yummy food. And now that the weather is getting warmer it just felt right to make a classic and yummy lunch.
Recipe:
Prosciutto Sandwich
Baguette
Good salted butter
Fig jam
Manchego
Prosciutto
Put that all on the baguette, making sure not to cut the baguette all the way through so it all stays together. Then, we made the simplest arugula salad with lemon, olive oil, and flaky salt—great for having on the side or putting on the sandwich. With a side of potato chips (Cape Cod is always good.) And an assortment of olives and pickled peppers/cornichons—Peppadew peppers are our favorite.
