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’… Read More

When I was younger I never really imagined becoming a father. I was well-trained by my mother, who, having given birth to a nearly 11 pound me at age 19, encouraged her own children, on th… Read More

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 chi… Read More

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… Read More

These Peruvian beans, called fagioli del papa in Italian, have a robust flavor and a dramatic color. This was just a quick-and-dirty weeknight preparation, so I don’t even remember exa… Read More

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 too… Read More

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… Read More

For years, I was impressed more by the idea of scones than the reality of scones. It’s mostly because I made the mistake of buying them at coffee shops, where they cost about $3 and ge… Read More

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. Thi… Read More

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 th… Read More

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 t… Read More

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, b… Read More

As a vegetarian, I don’t eat the most common variations of okonomiyaki, which involve pork or other animal bits. I’m quite fine with the “modern yaki”, as one Tokyo… Read More

OK, I’m a little late getting around to posting St. Patrick’s Day food, but let’s just say we were busy eating. While my family tends to identify mostly with the small os… Read More

We had a nice dinner tonight, but it wasn’t terribly heavy, and I was craving something sweet to finish the evening. I was thinking a thin cookie would do the trick, so I remembere… Read More

I recently mentioned my weakness for the seductive smokiness of Spanish paprika. It turns out that, in my kitchen, precious little of my supply ever makes it into anything remotely resembli… Read More

Someone may eventually convince me otherwise, but I’m pretty sure that most wild Northwest mushrooms benefit the most from a minimalist treatment. I’ve found no better confirma… Read More
