Sunday crullers, Saturday scones

This is why, given a choice, you should either learn to cook or find someone to spend your weekend mornings with who can cook. Crullers with cinnamon sugar Crullers have nearly disappeared from the shelves of most donut shops, mostly due to the fact that Read More...

A rare braised pork dish

Rare only for me, of course. As regular readers know, I’m as close to vegetarian as possible for someone who travels to Japan on a regular basis. Hiromi’s doctor said she’s got somewhat low iron levels. We’ve been mitigating that a bit with supplements Read More...

Our pagan Easter Sunday

Last night we visited a friend who had planned a sort of traditional lamb dinner, to be followed by Easter egg decoration. I don’t really remember much about Easter dinners from my childhood, since we focused more on the egg thing, so I brought some gougeres Read More...

Green beans and unseasonable caprese

Hiromi always says that when I’m trying to use up ingredients, the results are often more exciting than when I do something more planned. I think that’s been the case since I was in college, when I would sometimes change course after I started cooking Read More...

Gobodoki in roasted gobo soup

Ganmodoki , a deep-fried tofu dumpling, are kind of a staple of Kyoto-style tofu cuisine, and find their way into nimono, among other things. I’ve made them before , but this time, I took a slightly different route. Inspired by a crazy cheap deal on burdock Read More...

It’s spring, so it must be time for warabi

The last couple of weekends we’ve been taking advantage of the fiddlehead fern fronds found at Sosio’s. Go get them before they disappear for the rest of the year! We’ve been preparing them using our usual nimono- style treatment… Blanch briefly in a Read More...

Satsumaimo soufflé

So I’ve had this dangerous affinity for meringues in the last year or so. I like them on cakes and pies, I like them on savory dishes, and I sometimes like them all by themselves. This occasionally results in something approaching culinary genius, but Read More...

Famous for 15 minutes again

I’ve had a few brushes with fleeting, mostly inconsequential fame. My very first letter to the editor was published when I was about 14 years old in Knoxville, Tennessee. Something that was ostensibly my own writing, heavily edited, was first “published” Read More...

Pseudo-samosas with repurposed colcannon, and cranberry bean cakes with pear chutney

No matter how hard we try, the two of us cannot eat a large pot of what amounts to be little more than mashed potatoes, regardless how many greens are involved. So I decided to repurpose the leftovers a little bit. I melted some butter in a 6” skillet Read More...

Morels with homemade fettuccini

We self-indulgently bought a pasta roller last summer. It’s a single-purpose device, and I don’t have many items like that, at least not when they take up as much room as that, but pasta is a staple food for us and I wanted to have a tool that made it Read More...

Rogue River Blue with pear and walnut

Rogue River Blue only makes the briefest of appearances whenever Beecher’s gets hold of it. Last weekend I was lucky enough to snag some, and the only hurdle to obtaining my treasure was a misbehaving point-of-sale system that was backing up the cashiers Read More...

Okinawan Lunch at Yurakucho

Hiromi planned lunch with a few friends at Yurakucho yesterday, so we went a little early and shopped a bit at the Wakayama specialty shop and an Okinawan store to pick up some umeboshi, awamori, and various snacks and treats. After browsing shelves full Read More...

First dinner in Seattle (again)

Hiromi made it safely to Seattle last Tuesday. I managed to stay away from the office all day, though I did a little bit of work during Hiromi's inevitable afternoon crash. Though I arguably had time to do something more elaborate, we kept it simple, Read More...

Black-eyed pea cakes, snatched from the jaws of defeat

Trying to be clever sometimes gets me into trouble. I was planning to make a soup this week. I thought it would be a good idea to cook some black-eyed peas one night ahead of time, so that I'd be able to eat dinner at a reasonable hour when I went to Read More...

One part convenience, two parts easy

A couple of weeks ago Matthew Amster-Burton wrote about some frozen croissant dough which Trader Joe's now carries, and gave the product the thumbs up. I thought it would be nice to do breakfast at home this morning, so I decided to give them a try. All Read More...
