I am on a green tea kick this week. In addition to my usual cold brew coffee in the morning, I’ve been sipping plenty of iced matcha lattes in the afternoon as a refresher. (My apartment has been getting really warm and stuffy this past week, even with the windows wide open.) Yesterday, I decided [...]

Fried Eggs with Crispy Kale and Ramps
We’re nearing the end of the all-too-brief ramp season here on the East Coast. So far, I’ve been trying to get the most out of ramp availability this spring. In April I taught two classes on Asian cooking using seasonal ingredients and managed to get a bunch of students addicted to these delicious wild leeks. [...]

Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’ve been making smoothies non-stop these past few weeks. Maybe it’s in anticipation of all the ripe late spring and summer fruits that will soon be in the markets. But lately my breakfasts have been looking more like the smoothie above instead of this or this. And that’s a very [...]
Coconut Quinoa Granola
This coconut quinoa granola was supposed to have been posted last week. Then I ate it all before I had a chance to take any photos. You’ve been warned. It’s that addictive. So here it is the second time around, tweaked and perfected. I’ve been making granola at home for a while, but hadn’t tried [...]
Meyer Lemon Mojitos
What do you do when you have an overabundance of mint from your potted mint plant? Why, make mojitos, of course. And if you have some remaining Meyer lemons from an extended growing season this year, it just makes sense to whip up Meyer lemon mojitos. Every year I try to use make the most [...]
Avocado and Coconut Smoothie
A few years ago I spent two weeks traveling through Vietnam and became hooked on a drink called sinh to bo, or Vietnamese avocado shake. When I got back to the US, I experimented with recreating the shake and wrote a recipe for my other blog Appetite for China. Traditionally, Vietnamese avocado shake is made [...]
Easy Kale and Quinoa Pilaf
I thought that I had gotten through the cold-weather season without catching the flu. Or any of the bad viruses that were going around. After all, I was prepared: I had drank a ridiculous amount of orange juice and eaten yogurt everyday. Then recently, during a stressful work period, I stopped consuming the oj and [...]
Lemon and Lavender Chicken
When I first received The Little Paris Kitchen in the mail, I spent a good hour just sitting on the couch and flipping through the pages. All those photos of bistros, Parisian markets, dinner parties on adorable little balconies…it all sounds so cliché, but I thisclose to booking a plane ticket to Paris. (That’s the power [...]
Blood Orange Rosemary Gin Fizz
What do you do with a big bag of blood oranges hauled back from the market? The choices are endless. With their sweet flavor with hints of berries and cherries, blood oranges naturally lend themselves to sweet and savory recipes. I could make a pound cake or muffins or a salad or sauce for chicken. [...]
Toasts with Chocolate, Olive Oil, and Sea Salt
“Good dark chocolate has bitter and acidic elements, as does good bread. In the kitchen, they are drawn to each other. They also couldn’t be easier to combine, especially in this recipe, where the four ingredients — bread, chocolate, olive oil, and salt — are left in their raw state, with just a dash of heat to [...]
