My Tous les Jours Trip
As someone who lives in a rural area, I don't get the chance to visit fancy restaurants or bakeries that often. So, when a friend told me about a French-Asian bakery that's less than an hour away, I knew I had to check it out and grab some pictures for social media. Tous les Jours ended up providing an immersive experience that went above and beyond my expectations--although I did leave with a few reservations.

Savor Some Real Hawaiian flavor. Runner-Up in Nourished Challenge.
Poke. It seems like it's everywhere these days. Everyone and their Mama/Papa/Aunty/Uncle/Sistah/Braddah/Cousin/Friend has opened up some sort of poke business, eaten at one of these shops, or at the very least, seen references about a poke place at least once in their lifetimes. It is currently a popular source of nourishment around the world, and due to its growing fame, has been featured on TV, print, radio, blogs and vlogs all over.

Cricket powder cinnamon banana bread
I lived in Mexico for some years, many Moons ago, twice. It was there when I saw for the first time fried crispy crickets (known as chapulines in Mexico) tacos seasoned with lime, garlic, salt, and chile. Cricket tacos are a traditional delicacy which is especially popular in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. You can find them as a street food optionat outdoor markets in Mexico (look for chapulines) or at speciality restauants in the U.S. (just make sure the crickets are for human consumption).

Arctic Roll*
Today, I was inspired. How delightful it felt! It was warm, huggable, and sprinkled with delicious fuzzy feels. I realised that, as a sensation, inspiration is right up there in the aspirational emotionally sumptuous rankings, nestled alongside nostalgia and dreams.

making space
Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.

What Makes A Cook?
Despite sipping on a retired pornstar, I felt absolutely drunk. Like two giddy school girls, my mother and I ate in silence. While, every so often, looking up from our spoons to exchange a smile and a light laugh. Underneath the golden chandeliers of Savoy Grill glistened a rich, dark caramel, poured atop the apple tart tatin. A truly euphoric experience, it was.

Split Pea Soup
It is winter and I require all things cozy around my house. One of my favorite cozy comfort food is homemade soup. Split Pea soup is one of my favorites and definitely meats the comfy, cozy benchmark. Here is my simple recipe for this delightful homemade soup.

Eggs Benedict, simplified
First, here is a little background. There is a general misconception (mostly) that eating healthy implies following an array of complicated recipes which use lots of ingredients, many more spices, and take lots of time to prepare or/and cook. Many times in the past, I found myself searching for something new to prepare for my meals. There are lots of recipes with beautifully staged, photoshopped photos out there.

Misappropriation and Culinary Creativity for a Lunar New Year
Tomorrow, 10th February 2024, marks the start of the new Lunar Year, and I wanted to create a recipe to mark the occasion. However, I have a fear that in my rush to "try new things" what I am actually doing is rather clumsily... God forbid, carelessly misappropriating a culture.
