Godoufu with irigoma sauce and shouga no nerimiso

Godoufu , the soymilk-based mochi-like "tofu" from Saga prefecture, has been featured here before, shortly after I reminisced about my first time tasting it when I was ceramics-hunting in Arita many years ago. This weekend I got the urge to make it again. Read More...

Listen to your produce guys

This time of year, I usually completely ignore canteloupe (aka muskmelon). The taste rarely seems worthwhile in the winter. If you should have the good fortune to have a competent greengrocer near you, though, it's possible to discover small produce surprises Read More...

Molten chocolate cake and seville-orange mascarpone sorbet

When I received an order for some fresh California-grown yuzu a few weeks ago, I had this grand ambition of making a yuzu mascarpone sorbet, much like one I tasted in Osaka a couple years ago . It turns out that I immediately sold almost all of the yuzu Read More...

Seville orange-enhanced martini

I promise: This is not one of those fruity, syrupy drinks masquerading as a martini. No, it's not traditional, but it's also only the slightest departure from the standard martini. Seville oranges, also known as bitter oranges, don't seem to be tremendously Read More...

Savory chickpea and kale pie

I keep craving savory pies. This never seems to translate into me making a savory pie. I never go out for savory pies, except the occasional piroshky in the Pike Place Market. Somehow, I finally overcame inertia and made this nice, if somewhat flawed Read More...
