Gobo, ninjin, renkon no kinpira / kinpira saute with gobo burdock root, carrot and lotus root

Crunchy! Great with meals, beer, sake... and wine, too.

Ebi to shantoreru no rabiori / ravioli with prawns and chanterelle mushrooms

Ravioli filled with mildly sweet prawns paired with chanterelle mushrooms, in a simple butter & parmesan cheese sauce.

Fresh pasta (wet dough for ravioli and canneloni)

Hakusai to sakana no tochimushi / napa cabbage and fish steamed with black bean paste

Steamed with a Chinese twist.

Konsai to tofu no akadashi / red miso soup with root vegetables and tofu

Tofu tastes heavenly in red miso soup deepened by sesame oil. One of my favorite red miso soups.

Chapuche / japchae stir-fried vermicelli and vegetables

A tasty companion of assorted vegetables. Great for parties and potluck, too.

Kabocha no mafin, sumooku saamon to kuriimu chiizu iri / kabocha pumpkin muffins with smoked salmon and cream cheese

Sweet pumpkin gets a boost from smoked salmon and cream cheese. Great for breakfast or brunch.
