Tokyo is, hands down, my favourite city in the world. There’s just something about the diversity in the Japanese culture, from food to fashion, that fascinates me. I can never part from my love of rice. Sticky Japanese rice rolled…

March 9, 2016 1

My childhood favourite. Growing up my Mom used to make tones of these and she would store them in the freezer so we had a never-ending supply. As a child I used to watch my Mom wrap away. Now, I’m…

My in laws are forever on a diet. I think they just tell me this so I don’t cook them huge dinners every night when they visit. Anyway, on the off-nights, I make this for them and they love it.…

I always thought this was my mother’s dish, but turns out she made it for my Dad because that’s what my Grandma used to cook for him when he was growing up. My version is a mix between the two…
