i hope you eat good food, grow beautiful things, and have more love than you know what to do with.
I was browsing around H-Plaza (a Korean home goods strip mall) in Great Neck today and came across this adorable taiyaki pan. I loved taiyaki as a kid, especially the custard cream ones, so of course I snatched it up and ferreted it home so …
I made this with hairy bittercress but you could potentially do it with a lot of different mild flavored greens (spinach, shepherd’s purse, edible chrysanthemum, goosefoot, stinging nettle). My particular version only has 3 main ingredients–egg, shiitake mushroom, and the greens, but other versions can include …
I rarely go to the Asian supermarket because I’m so far away from any (which has resulted in me making a lot of things at home) but when I do go, I like to pamper myself a bit. I bought this beautifully fresh and insanely …

I’ve had the idea for a shoyu radish based sauce for a while but it took a few tries to get it right–I waited until I perfected it before breaking open my package of frozen sea scallops from ALDI. I imagine it would go just …
The base of this delicious (albeit not entirely healthy) meal is just 4 things–rice, soy sauce, butter, and egg–cheese is optional. All you need is a microwave and voila! Savory, rich, umami-filled deliciousness. You can add toppings to it like I did in the picture, …
While shiso is mostly known as an Asian herb, it has many delicious fusion applications as well. It’s fruity, minty, citrus tones making a great accompaniment to this burrata salad! Serve with toast points and a nice, finishing olive oil for a slightly different but …
