This doesn’t happen often, but I’ve been at a total loss as to what to name this dish. It’s not quite a salad, not quite a ceviche, and not quite a terrine. Sure, I could have just stretched the definition a bit to fit the dish, but it always irks me when people go naming [...]

In tropical climes from India to Mexico, green mangoes are peeled and eaten like a vegetable. Dipped in hot sauce and salt, most people would have trouble identifying the crunchy yellow sticks as the unripe version of the sweet orange tropical fruit adored around the world. For the uninitiated, it may sound like an [...]

Summer has officially hit New York like a raging inferno. With temperatures soaring into the 90’s and humidity to match, my appetite to cook has all but been snuffed out. This chilled poached tomato dish involves a day of waiting, but the prep time is minimal, and the cooking time is so short your apartment [...]

Given the fact the I shop for groceries without any clear direction of what I am going to make with the ingredients, my fridge tends to accumulate a motley assortment of half used ingredients.

After gorging myself for four days on a diet of fatty pork, deep fried shellfish, eggs and carbs, I felt like I needed to cleanse my insides in the same way a frat house needs to be cleaned after a raucous party. Still, the taste of New Orleans lingered in my mouth and I longed [...]

Despite being Japanese, I used to hate eating cooked fish as a child. I think this may have had something to do with the fact that the only way my mother ever prepared it was overcooked, with a dash of Season All. It’s not that she was a bad cook, she did teach me to [...]

To save money this year, L and I decided to stay in on Valentines Day rather that brave the crowds and prices to have someone else cook for us. It felt a little weird not being on 2 phones at exactly 10am on December 14th, to get a table at the most coveted restaurants, but [...]

One of my favourite things about Korean food (other than the spice) is that every meal is accompanied by a plethora of banchan (side dishes). At some restaurants, you’ll end up with 10 different complementary side dishes even though you only ordered a $9 bowl of soup. If you’re the type of person who loves [...]
