Colorful recipes with seasonal food
I’ve been wanting to try making a full-size crepe cake ever since I made those Nutelle mini crepe cakes 3 years ago, and seeing a recent picture of my friend Serene’s matcha crepe cake re-inspired me. But when I couldn’t decide which flavor crepe cake to make, my other friend Christine reminded me of a…
I was so excited when I received an electric bubble waffle maker from my brother and sister-in-law for my birthday last year. I had visions of making the eggettes I used to get from NYC’s Chinatown and SF’s Genki and maybe even making a puffle cone a la Cauldron Ice Cream or Monkey King Tea…
What’s the point in making tikka masala if you don’t have any naan to swipe up the leftover sauce? If I had known how easy it was to make naan on the stovetop, I would’ve made it a long time ago! Since I had some garlic and scallions lying around, I decided to make the…

I’ve been traveling for work a lot recently, and while I definitely can’t complain about being able to expense all my meals, sometimes I just want something simple. Comforting. That I made myself. This morning I woke up and had a craving for dan bing, a Taiwanese breakfast dish that’s basically a thin crepe with…
Last week I received a head of cabbage in my Boston Organics delivery and didn’t really know what to do with it until I remembered that it’s a main ingredient in okonomiyaki. I’d never had it before, so I’m not sure if what I made is particularly authentic or not, but it’s a perfectly delicious…
