First holiday dinner of the season. Duck rillette with stone ground mustard & tarragon. Escarole, radicchio & romaine salad with toasted hazelnuts, persimmons & Reggiano-Parmigiano. House favorite Blueberry Frangipane galette. Really, any frangipane galette works for me. #holidaycooking #dinnerforfriends #usewhatyouhave ... See MoreSee Less

Ajijic Wednesday market. So much fresh, delicious, food. The flans are sold in ceramic bowls which is ingenious! Fragrant molés, fresh bread, tortillas, the best chicharrones so light and crispy. #ajijicmarket #freshfood #mexicanmarket ... See MoreSee Less

Traveling with friends who “know”, know about a small shop in Manzamitla that makes carjeta and a rompope which is a Mexican eggnog. They make it in big copper vats and bottle onsite. #manzamitla #rompope #carjeta #travellingwithfriends #techniquematters ... See MoreSee Less

Italia, land of inspiration! Caponata is classic Sicilian fare. Gifted Sicilian oregano, I made a BK version without basil. Sticking to a #usewhatyouhave strategy, it’s still a delicious mix of eggplant, peppers, capers, tomatoes, green olives, golden raisins, , pine nuts, onions, garlic, and agrodolce from white balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sugar.#techniquematters #caponata #italianfoodlover

I’m so far behind on posts! Sticking with the “clean out my freezer theme” I was stuck on the idea of a fish pie. Blame the puff pastry & bechamel! Beautiful fresh fish from Tokyo Fish in Berkeley in bechamel with leeks, peas, fill, tarragon, parsley with an unconventional dash of Dijon mustard, and Reggiano Parmigiano . Absolutely delicious pie by me and brie crouton salad our host. Dinner with lovely friends! #fishpie #usewhatyouhave #techniquematters #dinnerwithfriends

It’s that time again! I adore hot cross buns, fruit cake, any baked treat with dried fruit. Used leftover dried peel and currants. They remind me of my grandmother. Still use my favorite recipe by Genevieve Ko. #hotcrossbuns #fruitbuns #usewhatyouhave #techniquematters

I do adore dumplings 🥟 and feel deprived if I don’t have at least one bag in my freezer. I remember making them for the first time in Chef Rhoda Yee’s class in culinary school along with a pungent sauce. Still use her recipes decades later. #dumplings #techniquematters #usewhatyouhave

My winter salad has been on repeat the month of December. Escarole, romaine, radicchio, persimmons, toasted hazelnuts, and shaved Reggiano-Parmigiano with lemon vinaigrette. Beet risotto with Duroc pork chops and preserved lemon salsa verde. Super delicious! #techniquematters #usewhatyouhave #durocpork #wintersalad

Fluffy hot cross buns. Enjoy them toasted with butter or jam, warm from the oven or defrosted in January. I use the best recipe every year without any BK teaks. #hotcrossbuns #holidaybaking #usewhatyouhave

Brick Lane grilled cheese vendor I could resist but I was so full I didn’t have room for my next stop! Unfortunately, vendor had no take-away bags so I was stuck with the whole thing.😊#bricklanemarket #bricklane #englishcheese
