I’ve come across a lot of delicious new recipes lately & thought I’d share. Potato Corn Chowder Courtesy of Tyler Florence, whose ultimate tomato soup and “smashed” potatoes with lemon and dill are also awesome. This recipe is remarkably fast and easy for such a rich-tasting soup. Use dried thyme if you don’t have the [...]

You’ve Got Me Pinned
Posted in Books, Film, Food!, tagged Internet sexism, Pinterest, Pinterest growth on February 8, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
24 hours in and I’m already addicted as hell. I joined Pinterest before I really knew what it was, and it only took a few minutes for the format to suck me in. Thus far in the digital age I’ve avoided iPhones and all their apps, Farmville, Words With Friends, Twitter, and plenty of other [...]
Restaurant Review: Shamaim

Restaurant: Shamaim Closest station: Ekoda, Seibu Ikebukuro line (also Shin-Egota, Oedo line) Hours: M-F 5-11 pm, Sat and Sun 12-11 pm Reservations: Recommended for weekend dinners Phone: 03-3948-5333 Falafel and hummus probably aren’t the first delicacies that come to mind when you think of eating in Tokyo. But I’m willing to bet that Shamaim, the [...]

Posted in Food!, Japan, tagged Aya Kakisawa, ﾎﾟﾀｼﾞｴ六本木, Potager sushi, Tokyo vegetarian restaurants, 歩他事絵 on July 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
“Vegetarian” and “sushi” would seem to be a contradiction in terms, but thankfully the amazing Potager, founded by well-known chef and veggie innovator Aya Kakisawa, thinks beyond fish. Potager serves up gorgeous courses of locally sourced vegetables pickled and soaked in a variety of sauces. At the entrance to the restaurant there’s a large map [...]
Comfort Food: Doria ドリア・レシピ

And now…a post that has nothing to do with earthquakes! I do not mean to imply that the earthquake / tsunami / nuclear reactor situation is no longer worth writing about, because it certainly is, but I need a break. And I would like such a break to include cheese, rice, and more cheese. Hence [...]
Toaster Oven Cooking

I miss my oven a lot less these days. Oh, I still long for the ability to make cupcakes and manicotti and chicken tetrazzini, but since I discovered how versatile my toaster oven can be, I’ve been pining for its much larger cousin less and less. Unfortunately you can’t really cook for more than one [...]

These days I’m trying to avoid the temptation to do really elaborate cooking–the kind that can end up sucking two or three hours away from what should be dissertation-writing time. But that doesn’t mean I have to eat instant soba or conbini corn dogs. Courtesy of my friend and former singing-to-kids-over-the-phone coworker Soness, here is [...]
Mushroom Wafu Spaghetti きのこの和風スパゲッティ
Posted in Food!, Japan, tagged きのこの和風スパゲッティ, Curry House, Japanese-style Italian food, wafu spaghetti on February 7, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been singing the praises of Japanese-style Italian food for years. A lot of people living in Tokyo complain that it’s bland and inauthentic, and a lot of the cheaper places can be downright awful, it’s true. But the high-quality stuff is a real treat–not exactly Italian, not exactly Japanese, just a wonderful example of [...]
The Quintessential Tokyo Day

Sometimes you just have one of those days that manages to include everything that’s wacky and wonderful about Japan. I thought I’d write about mine. I took an early train from my place in the suburbs to a centrally located doctor’s office to see about some persistent back pain. The train was three minutes late. [...]
Three Easy Weeknight Recipes

As the temperature plunges in Tokyo I find myself wanting to leave the house less and less unless the destination is a bath house or a shabu-shabu restaurant (or really anywhere with good heaters and hot food). And since the market where I get a lot of the ingredients for more complicated dishes is a [...]
