No one can argue that presentation is important. When it comes to food, the same dish can taste better when presented in a beautiful way. And the first impression. Food that looks beautiful or unique gives me such excitement. I wanted to try making this twist roll for a while, and I finally decided to […]

Seasons and seasonal events are always a good inspiration. Well, it’s October… October Fest… Germany… German Pretzels… Forming the dough into these shapes was so much fun!

A friend of ours recently took a trip to Italy. While she was there, she visited an olive farm, where she got to sample some olive oil. She had some oil shipped home, and got us this beautifully packaged one. To enjoy the oil, so I baked some crusty bread to dip into the oil. […]

I made these buns a while ago but forgot to make a post about them. This is a Hijiki seaweed and carrot bun. And this is a Sunflower butter and jam bun. Both were so good. You can take one of each with you for lunch. The Hijiki one will be your meal, and the […]

I still had some bagels I got from a farmers market in the freezer, and I decided to make a sandwich for breakfast. I had craving for something fresh and refreshing, and I decided to use a lot of “green” ingredients. A thick layer of cashew cream cheese was spread on the beautiful artisan poppy […]

Curry bun is one of popular stuffed buns in Japan. I made a big pot of curry, so I thought it was time to make some. Curry buns are traditionally deep-fried, but I decided to bake them in the oven this time. Very happy with the result.
Earl Grey Cardamom Nectarine Toast

Sunday, August 18, 2019
This is a great time of the year for someone like me who loves stone fruit. I like them all, but my favorite is probably nectarine. When I look at the shelf where peaches, nectarines, and plums are displayed next to one another, I typically go for the nectarine, mostly because when it comes to […]

ビアリーとVソーセージグレイビー
Friday, August 9, 2019
I think I discovered a new favorite. Bialy and Gravy! This was my first Bialy experience. I found it at a farmers market, and I had to try it. It is quite substantial and chewy like bagel, but much lighter. I enjoyed it as it was, but I thought it would be fun to serve […]
