about
hiya, i'm heyri and this a picture of me in my tiny studio apartment with a fishy friend and one of my most prized possessions, la molcajete!
in this corner of the internet, you can find what used to be my private travel journal that naturally metamorphosed into a place to document the present-day-christine, someone who can talk and write about food all.day.long. food has always been focal to many relationships with people that i hold dearly to my heart. i've experienced it as a powerful vehicle that opens new doors and even brings concrete walls down to their knees. most importantly, sharing a meal or inviting friends into my home has created space to reach a pause to rest and enjoy good company in the midst of the every day demands of life. food is truly a gift.
as some of you have may have seen on the gram, i cook and eat aaaa lot. like a lot. a few fs in my life (friends, family, followers) eventually nudged me to share my recipes so…here is where you can find them! they're fun recipes spun up from ideas incorporating ingredients that were common in my second generation korean-american upbringing as well as new ones i've discovered along the way. i hope you enjoy my personal anecdotes and perhaps give the recipes a try, beginning new stories in your kitchen.
my life can become a little nutty, especially living most of it out of a suitcase most of the time. i travel often to visit my family, for work, or more plainly, to experience delightful things outside of my day to day world, but no matter where i am or wherever i'm headed, i hold a heart of gratitude for having the time, resources, and space to create through dear saturdays. i'm looking forward to sharing all things food and connecting with you through it. thanks for stopping by!
xo, heyri
