Legume expressing her silly concern of not waking up to homemade breakfast often enough, my flabbergasted reaction, and her brunchy dreams surely coming true with spicy scrambled tofu, diner-style potatoes, and the fluffiest biscuits I’ve made at home yet (and like every other vegan … Continue reading »

The very first project I embarked on in 2013, besides a big time day of rest after some bubbly-fueled karaoke on New Year’s Eve, was making my very own Sriracha. Inspired the real thing, and adapted from Reclaiming Provincial, who’s adapting from a recipe on Serious Eats, which is in turn, based on a recipe from the … Continue reading »

I’ve returned yet again from sneaking the heck out-of-town for the holiday mess. This time last year, I was sipping from young coconuts in Cambodia, while this time last week, J. Legume and I were singing carols to rats scurrying around subway tracks. How time flies. Of course, New York is quite the star of … Continue reading »

With the last few days of autumn ahead, it was about time I got down to sharing this seasonal specialty.
