Turkey Pho Recipe
We had Thanksgiving at my brother’s house this year (back when it was Canadian Thanksgiving, over a month ago!) and the part I was most looking forward to was the leftovers: specifically, the turkey bones. I had thought that...
Sunday Brunch: Egg & Turkey Banh Mi Recipe
I can’t remember the first time I had a banh mi, but I do remember that once I started, I didn’t stop. Mike and I have even gone on (multiple) banh mi crawls before…in multiple cities. No, nothing quite as...
2014 Holiday Gift Guide and a Giveaway
I really love kitchen tools and what you’ll find in my kitchen is a good mix of super-specific items and general use. I don’t tend to get a lot of one use items, but when I do, I think...
Friday Links: 11.29.2014
It’s Friday! Are you guys out Black Friday shopping? Even if I were in the States, I definitely wouldn’t be – I can’t bear crowds. Which is slightly hilarious considering how crowded Tokyo is. But, the thing is, there are...
Sushi Sho, Tokyo, Japan
To me, travelling inevitably means one thing: good eats I can’t find at home. I almost always fall for hype so you might find me patiently waiting in the longest line with my camera and empty stomach. Or you...

Maybe you don’t want to make a whole turkey for Thanksgiving. Or maybe you’re already looking forward to turkey leftovers. Whatever you might be feeling, this turkey fried rice is for you! It’s perfect for when you’re looking...
Pan Roasted Honey Garlic Brussels Sprouts Recipe
I had a childhood friend who was obsessed with brussels sprouts. She loved eating them boiled and plain – no salt, no seasoning, nothing. She loved them so much that it never occurred to her that not everyone felt the same way. I went...
Sunday Brunch: Crispy Stuffing Cakes with Quail Eggs Recipe
The best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, am I right? But, to be honest, I’m truly and utterly obsessed with all leftovers. Sometimes I’ll purposely make an absurd amount of food so that I can wander over to...
Friday Links: 11.21.2014
I’ve been wide awake and bleary eyed at three in the morning every single day since arriving in Tokyo (thanks jet lag!) The trains shut down here at 12 or 1 am, so I’ve had plenty of time to randomly...
Lemongrass Stuffing Recipe
Seems like there’s a great divide on stuffing vs. dressing. Technically, this isn’t stuffing because it hasn’t been stuffed inside a bird (hard to do when you just braise a leg) but regardless, I like my stuffing unstuffed and...
Miso Butter Mashed Potatoes Recipe
I know I say everything is my favorite, but seriously, mashed potatoes are my be all, end all. I just love, love, love them and have been known to eat mashed potatoes as a meal. Even when I was little...
Sunday Brunch: Apple Cheddar Grilled Cheese Recipe
It’s a little funny for me to call a grilled cheese brunch food because the truth is, I eat grilled cheeses all. the. time. If I have bread in the house, and I’m hungry, it’s always a toss up...
