Japanese Style Tamagoyaki French Toast

Blossom Lady

Mar 16, 2025 11:28 AM

A super soft and custard-y japanese tamagoyaki inspired french toast is 100 percent the best way to start the day. I am a true lover of french toast and all it’s varieties. I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about my dream french toast restaurant before – the one that would kind of be like IHOP but for french toast instead of pancakes. Needless to say, I’m a french toast fanatic. I like to try french toasts wherever we travel to. Usually they tend to be just like the classic french toast: bread dipped in eggs a...

New Orleans Style Beignets

Blossom Lady

Mar 16, 2025 11:17 AM

Beignets, fried yeasted dough treats, are most famous in the U.S. as served by Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. At the restaurant, they are presented generously dusted with powdered sugar along with a cafe au lait. Did you know that beignets are the official state doughnut of Louisiana? If you've never tried frying yeasted dough, it's amazingly easy! The dough gets all puffy and crispy in the hot oil, and the whole process takes about two minutes. No such thing as delayed gratification when frying dough!...

Shaking Beef with Pasta

Blossom Lady

Mar 16, 2025 11:10 AM

More than two decades ago, my then-boyfriend (now-husband) took me on a date to Chez Christina, a quaint bistro in the Bay Area where I first encountered Vietnamese shaking beef with pasta (or nui xào bò lúc lắc). On the menu you could get shaking beef served with a side of red rice, pasta, french fries, or baguette. This is my riff on that shaking beef with pasta from Chez Christina, which I frequently cook for my kids. While I love the traditional shaking beef served with watercress salad, getting the ki...

Over the years, I have taken to making recipes that are traditional for various seasonal festivities, with Nowruz being up there as a favorite. I have gradually made various traditional favorites, from savory dishes like Persian herb fritatta, kuku sabzi and dolmeh barge mo - stuffed vine leaves, to sweet treats like Persian walnut cookies and Persian rice cookies. This tasty fish and rice dish is another common part of the festivities, but it's definitely something you could enjoy any time. Nowruz ...

Sous-Chef Salad

Blossom Lady

Mar 16, 2025 10:53 AM

When the house chef takes the night off, resist your go-to takeout and toss together this powerhouse one-bowl dinner instead. Yes, it’s a salad, but it stars bacon, salami, ham, turkey and cheese, which makes it an easy sell to the under-15 crowd, as well as a fun and filling meal. Plus, it’s quick to make (and make ahead) and highly customizable; for example, swap out the feta for shredded cheddar or use store-bought dressing. The basic layout is a bed of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, hard...
