Fall Fridays are my favorite: crisp afternoon walks, sunshine, and a warm and cozy drink in hand.
I’m in love with Sadaharu Aoki’s Matcha Azuki, a classic French entremet with a Japanese twist: delicious layers of matcha mousse, dark chocolate genoise, adzuki beans, and a crispy-crunchy praline base. I tried to recreate it and it turned out delicious!
In season, right now: apples, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower, cherries, corn, eggplant, green beans, jalapeños, peaches, potatoes, pumpkin, squash, tomatoes, and so much more. Here’s what you should be cooking in September.
Hong Kong style egg tarts are my favorite: cheerful yellow creamy egg custard in a shortbread cookie tart shell. Skip the bakery and make these egg tarts at home.
A generous coating of Carolina BBQ sauce spiked with mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorns make these ribs so addictive you’ll need to check ID before serving

Super flavorful and easy, one pot pasta puttanesca is one of the best camp meals I’ve made!
The ultimate Japanese burger: crispy crunchy tonkatsu pork cutlets, sesame cabbage slaw, and spicy mustard, all in a squishy toasted brioche bun.
A super decadent Sunday brunch of creme brûlée french toast with a crackly sugar crust, topped off with ice cream and a honey drizzle.
