kathy's yachae twigim {fried vegetable birds nests}
my mom loves fried crispy things, so naturally, we grew up chowing on these battered and fried julienned vegetable birds nests as afterschool snacks that lasted all the way through dinnertime. this is my mom’s, aka kathy, recipe
sweet potato tartine
just so you know, this recipe epitomizes my current state of being: it’s sweet, i look like a potato, and you know, tartine. french!
summer mediterranean barbecue
declared to myself that this summer sunday will be the day to rest since that's what we were called to do. can i get an amen?
crispy eggplant with honey and lime
it was crispy, sticky, juicy, hot, tender at the bite, savory, and bright. everything i never knew i wanted in an eggplant.
mandoo meatballs!
turning an “oh shoot too much filling” moment to a “heck ya meatballs!” opportunity.
hazelnut leek dumplings
i don't know if i can recall a more pleasurable food-in-mouth experience…
catalan pintxos & vermut
having the ability to share the experience with others in my apartment in brooklyn was my way of laying the icing on bourdain's legacy.
