Pickled Avocados

The inside of my refrigerator is starting to look like one big lab experiment. I seem to have developed an obsession with putting things in jars. There’s a batch of Mark Bittman’s easy kimchi, several jars of Three Pepper Jelly, some sliced variegated pink lemons marinating in honey, several different types of tsukemono (Japanese pickles) […]

We’re citrus fanatics in the Fuji household, and so we love the winter months when citrus season is at its peak. The Fujilings love helping out in the kitchen when any citrus is involved, knowing that they’ll get to snack on whatever citrus we’re cooking with as we go. One of the varieties we’ve fallen […]

Benimosu no Tataki Kyuri, or Beaten Cucumber Pickles drizzled with Purple Sweet Potato Vinegar—a simple Japanese pickle that highlights the quality of the ingredients used, and a great way to work out some aggression in the kitchen. I’ve talked about tsukemono, or Japanese pickles, before, but we’re going to touch on it again today. We’re […]

Did you know that February is National Potato Lovers’ Month? Maybe that explains my cravings for all things potato. Whatever the cause, I’m not complaining!

The story of my tomato bacon chutney is one of sheer will and determination triumphing over my proverbial MBS (“Mommy Brain Syndrome”). Tomato bacon chutney is one of those condiments that could be eaten on so many things that I should just plan on always having a container of it sitting in the fridge. Versatility […]

I’m a potato lover. After my trip to Idaho last fall, I went from being a Russet girl (though I still love my Russets!) to being a Klondike Goldust devotee. I cannot get enough of their beautiful color and creamy flesh (and thin skin that I don’t have to peel!). And then there are my […]
