Spicy Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe

I'm finishing off the week on a sweet (and spicy) note with this super easy chocolate mousse inspired by Hervé This. This is a French molecular chemist who came up with an innovative way of making chocolate mousse with just two ingredients:…

Spicy Tuna Toast Recipe

I think I could live on tiny food. What is it about bite sized food that is just so. much. better. than regular size? Is it it's inherent cuteness? The miniature-ness of it? Or is it the fact that it's just so easy to pop into your mouth in the…

Crispy Eggplant Recipe

Have you guys ever made your own breadcrumbs? I'm a huge fan of panko, so I usually just go ahead and keep a bunch in my pantry, but sometimes when I run out and can't be bothered to go to the store, I'll make up quick batches of breadcrumbs using…

Blueberry, Coconut, Dark Chocolate Cookie Recipe

The first time I made cookies by myself was a disaster. They came out like oddly fluffy, yet dense, hockey pucks. I was 12 and it was for a school bake sale. I didn’t even want to bring them…

Spicy Savory French Toast Recipe

Ever since I made crispy salt and pepper french toast I've been on a savoury French toast kick. There's just something that makes so much sense about bread and eggs being savoury. I always have a hard time deciding between sweet and savoury…

Raspberry Strawberry Watermelon Popsicle Recipe

It’s Popsicle Week! Billy, over at Wit & Vinegar, came up with Popsicle week as an ingenious way to celebrate summer. When it’s hot outside I don’t think there’s any better way to beat the heat. There are a bunch of…

Spicy Tuna Deviled Eggs Recipe

This week I’m partnering up with Tabasco for a 10 ingredient challenge! Essentially, it’s 10 ingredients, 5 recipes. I absolutely love creating dishes when I have a limited number of ingredients. It’s one of my favourite games:…

Vietnamese Steak and Vermicelli Bowl Recipe

In the summertime (okay, actually, really, all the time) I am all about the steaks. I think my steak-deprived childhood has turned me into a steak fiend. But really, it’s hard not to love steak, especially when there are…

Honey Jalapeno Tofu Nuggets

September has always been my favorite month (I've mentioned it before, I'm sure), not just because it's my birthday month, but because it's back-to-school. It's been many years since I've …

Warm and Cozy Beef Bourguignon

There's something extra cozy about coming in from the cold to a huge pot of something delicious bubbling away on the stove. It's been extra cold here in Tokyo. The …

What to Cook in November: Bestovers Edition

Personally I LOVE leftovers. I love how easy they are to heat up, I love how some foods taste even better the next day, and most of all I love …

Oven Braised Beef Bourguignon Recipe

Easy Bánh Mì Sandwich Recipe

I think bánh mì, or Vietnamese sandwiches might be my favourite sandwich. Typically, they’re made on light, crackly baguettes with fluffy, cloud-like insides – the perfect canvas for rich, savoury meats, sweet and sour pickled carrots and…

Lemon Raspberry Cream Scones

I have a thing for scones. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve always had a thing for British things (as a child, Harry Potter, more recently, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock) or if it’s because they’re…

Pea and Avocado Pizza Recipe

Have you ever set off your fire alarm while cooking? More often than not, when I’m making pizza, I’ll be rewarded with the high pitched beep of the fire alarm. It’s not that the pizza burns or anything is actually smoking,…

Grilled Corn Recipe

When my mother-in-law was a young girl growing up in Vietnam, she would sell corn from a corn stand much like a hot dog stand. Instead of hot dogs, she’d grill up corn-on-the-cob and instead of ketchup and mustard, folks…
