Hello! Well, as usual, this summer has felt like a constant series of racing from one thing to the next, but if it's one thing I'm happy to have ticked off my list, it's finally making this corn, miso, & mascarpone pasta, which has been languishing in the back of my mind for far too long. Years ago now, I discovered this magical

sweet kale, brussels, and date salad + a new substack
As it turns out, this month marks ten years (a whole, entire decade!) since I first posted a slapdash recipe for bibimbap here on Two Red Bowls. One month away from graduating from law school, wrapped up in a down jacket indoors in a frigid apartment in Massachusetts, when ...
fiona’s first birthday
Our babiest baby is one. It's been an eventful year, but the singular joy of it has been watching our littlest sweetheart grow, and having our house packed to the gills with the happy chaos of not one, not two, but three baby monkeys constantly up to shenanigans. Fiona keeps up with the best of them, and thinks her bigs are the absolute bee's ...
supreme soy sauce chow mein
Here's a quick little recipe in honor of Lunar New Year next week. It's true that technically speaking, we should be eating chang shou mian, but it's also true that supreme soy sauce chow mein is impossibly delicious and impossibly easy, and far and away my new favorite noodle dish, so in my humble opinion, we're just fine if we decide to ...
thanksgiving leftover cranberry apple streusel tart
This tart comes from a recipe I first learned of at a baking demo that the lovely (and aptly genius) Kristen Miglore did for her beautiful book Genius Desserts back in 2018. The original recipe, by way of Karen DeMasco of ABC Kitchen fame, is for a ...
black sesame caramel walnut bars (and black sesame fudge)
Last year a few lovely friends sent me a care package from a new-to-me bakery in Brooklyn called Patisserie Tomoko. There were little yuzu-scented cookies, perfect macarons, and pudgy mochi filled with red bean and Earl Grey chocolate truffle, all of which were perfect, but my favorite of ...
the trb kitchen
I've been meaning to share the details of our kitchen renovation here for some time now. I felt so very lucky to work with wonderful designers Taylor + Taylor, as well as the kind folks at KitchenAid and Fireclay Tile, ...
rose & lychee snowskin mooncakes
I hadn't intended to post a recipe for Mid-Autumn Festival this year, but these rose and lychee snowskin mooncakes were such a hit with our little family that I thought I'd share them here with you, even if last-minute. Unlike the traditional sort, burnished golden with lye water and ...
jeremy’s cheese bread (pao de queijo)
A number of Thanksgivings ago, my brother introduced us all to a new cheese bread recipe he'd found. An easy version of Brazilian pao de queijo, it was light but chewy, crisp on the outside but surprisingly stretchy within, gently cheesy and just a touch sweet. For my Chinese family, it reminded us of more of an airy, savory kind of ...
miso brothy beans with greens
At just the right time this past spring, Erin Alderson posted a gorgeous snap of her miso brothy beans on her Instagram and stopped me mid-scroll. Life was crazy, I was partway through my pregnancy with Fiona, and terrible ...
