dark chocolate mochi bit ice cream + black sesame fudge sauce

August 13, 2019

This ice cream owes its existence to a younger and more foolish me, who once had what she thought was a genius idea, oh, you always eat brownies way too quickly, maybe if you freeze them, you'll eat them slower, and who then found frozen brownies to be the best thing she had ever encountered and ate them all the live long day until she became the ...

salted yolk & lotus paste beignets

September 20, 2018

Beignets! It's been awhile since a capital-P Project has landed on this blog. Since the advent of our little guy, I've been more tempted to fill my Saturday mornings with alphabet books and trips to the playground and the occasional quick and easy food experiment than making extended messes in the kitchen. But then a few weeks ago, while ...

buttercream roses and rose buttercream

August 14, 2018

Believe it or not, these pretty little buttercream roses were piped by yours truly. For someone who is all thumbs and, at best, has a passing knowledge of how to decorate a cake, this is a feat indeed--and it's all thanks to a dynamo of a friend and her marvelous book, Coco Cake Land, which is coming out today! I truly cannot be more excited. ...

cookies and christmas pjs

December 20, 2017

Hi!  In less than three days, we're jumping on (or, more accurately, "squeezing a toddler and many bags and a stroller and a car seat onto") a plane and heading to Hawaii for the first time since our two-bowl household became a three-bowl one.  There are aunties and uncles and cousins for Luke to meet for the first time, beaches to explore, galbi ...

sticky toffee pudding with mascarpone butterscotch

November 15, 2017

I've been meaning to make some form of sticky toffee pudding for at least a few years, ever since a friend of mine first waxed lyrical about one she'd had at a pub near our offices called the Shakespeare.  At that point, I'd never had sticky toffee pudding or, possibly, even heard of it, but her description alone had me sold--of a sticky, soft, ...

chai masala bundt cakes

October 11, 2017

If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd enjoy anything about fall other than, say, eating pumpkin-y things and, nominally, wearing fluffy slippers, there's not a chance I would have believed you.  (This is how deep my fear of the cold runs.)  But then we moved to a quixotic land where my Michelin Man puffer jackets are happily useless, so I no ...

chocolate babkas and recipe testers

April 13, 2017

I blinked and it's been five months of this adventure called "writing a cookbook."  How!  Before all this began I wasn't sure how shooting and writing a book with a new babe would go.  The answer is, as it turns out, a lot of running around during morning naptime, a lot of truly spectacular messes, and a lot of trudging around during afternoon ...

tea-soaked dates with mascarpone

February 8, 2017

Granted, my threshold for feeling accomplished has always been, shall we say, modest ("I added the perfect amount of sugar to my matcha latte today I can do anything!") but ever since I was introduced to these supremely distracting pudgy cheeks, I'm finding smaller and smaller accomplishments count as victories in this household. Dinner made during ...

hazelnut coffee cheesecake

December 21, 2016

For as long as I can remember, hazelnut coffee has been my dad's way to start the day. Almost every day of my childhood and every day that I'm back home now, I've come downstairs in the morning to find him sitting in our sunny breakfast nook, already up for hours, with an oversized mug of coffee in his hand and a newspaper spread out on the table, ...

  • A little video!  Red curry kabocha soup with @kitchenaidusa’s K400 Blender to get us through the no-man’s-land stretch between holidays and during kitchen renovations.  It’s been slow but so exciting to see our house re-emerge from under tarps and ram board, and the transition has been easier because we’ve had KitchenAid small appliances like this one to tide us over.  All you need to do is simmer a bit of Thai red curry paste with velvety coconut milk until it smells amazing, add in kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil, a little brown sugar and fish sauce, a touch of salt if you want, and blend it all up with roasted kabocha until smooth.  It ends up complex and nuanced, sweet and savory and spicy, in 10 minutes of hands-on time.  The full recipe and more about the K400 Blender is #ontheblog this morning! 📹 AND 🎶(!!) by the most talented @bowl_n2 a bowl_n1 could ever ask for 😭✨❤️ #marksofmaking #sponsored
  • What the first Sunday of December looked like four years ago:  sleeping in and baking 🍪 What it looks like this year:  a toddler doing a dance while eating peanuts, a chubby baby probably napping way too late, a tree hastily and triumphantly purchased (and now, partially trimmed before I decided to sit on my butt and Instagram). Two way more tired, but ever happier bowls. 🎄
  • There is construction just to the left of this and construction to the right 😜but in this five foot stretch only, peaceful fall things making my heart happy. 🍂✨ Happy Friday eve!
  • Honey sesame corn pudding up #ontheblog this morning in the ramp up to Thanksgiving!  I’m a bad child of the South and am new to corn pudding, but what I lack in history I’m now making up for in fervor—a crisp edge but a soft pudding center, creamy but studded with corn, sweetly decadent but just one savory note shy of dessert.  Sesame oil and sesame seeds (borrowed from the sesame cornbread in my book 😬) add a nuttiness and a tiny bit of crunch.  It ends up somehow reminiscent of toasty kettle corn and chawanmushi at the same time, and if you need me on Thanksgiving you can find me with a casserole dish of it all to myself 🌽 Recipe is on the blog this morning!  What do you guys plan to make?  Two weeks to go!! 🦃 #f52wrappedup
  • Partnering with @kitchenaidusa to share a fall pesto recipe #ontheblog this morning!  We’re working with KitchenAid for my entire kitchen and it’s one of the most exciting parts of our renovation 😱 but until the kitchen is ready, I’m sharing a few recipes made with the equally amazing small appliances that we’ve been using to cook in the meantime--like this 7 Cup Food Processor.  More on the blog along with a Sriracha & roasted broccoli pesto recipe✌🏼#ad #partner #marksofmaking
  • The start of my favorite season:  Thanksgiving Side Season. 🤓🤓🤓🤓 Googling Thanksgiving menus from now until the 28th bye!!!!!!! (And also posting this recipe soon 👏🏼)
  • One more birthday this week!! One year after #acommontablecookbook came into the world, I’m still overjoyed every time I see one of its recipes in another kitchen, or when I hear that our multicultural family is like yours, or that a recipe from my childhood is reminiscent of one from yours.  It’s more wonderful than I could have imagined when I began to write this book.  Thank you! 🙏🏼✨
  • Our newly-minted three-year-old. (Wait, what?) Loves saying something wrong just so he can correct us—it’s blue! LOL it’s not blue, it’s greeeen.  Loves ordering “crackuhs” (fries) from the kids’ picture menu but is mystified when broccoli usually appears instead (“where da crackuhs?”) Now knows birthdays mean cake and parties and has been chirping all week, “Lukie birday! Let’s go birday party! Everybody birday!” Is hilarious and maddening and tiring and wonderful, and the greatest, sweetest joy (or, one of two) we could ever have imagined.  Thank you so much for making us parents, Lukaboo.  Big camera smiles courtesy of his favorite person in the world, @bowl_n2 ❤️(more of which are on the blog this morning!)
