La Fuji Mama — Bringing world flavors to the family dinner table.

Fujified Strawberry Flatbread

To me, strawberry shortcake says summertime. When I was growing up my mom would make strawberry shortcake for dessert when strawberries were in season. She would make simple slightly sweet biscuits which we would top with cut up strawberries sprinkled with sugar and then pour milk over everything and maybe even add a bit of […]

Magnetic Measuring Spoons Winner!

I thoroughly enjoyed all of your answers to my question about what inspires you in the kitchen and why you cook what you cook. On so many of your comments I found myself nodding my head thinking, “Yeah! Me too!” There were also a lot of things I hadn’t thought about. Thank you so much […]

Happy Father’s Day and some business

Happy Father’s Day to Fuji Papa, Mr. Fuji, and all you awesome fathers out there! If it weren’t for my own father (Fuji Papa), I definitely would not be the foodie that I am today (and that’s a good thing). I’m grateful for the influence that my father has been on my palate. Now for […]

Tibetan Flatbread, the Perfect Soup Dunking Bread

I am a dunker. How about you? When it comes to eating soup, I have to have something to dunk into the liquid to eat along with it. I love a spongy bread or biscuit that will soak up some of the soup liquid without falling apart. I recently saw an episode of Jacques Pépin's […]

Roasted Kabocha Squash Soup

I love soup and could eat it every day of the week. It just never gets boring because of the endless combinations, and is comforting and yummy. I especially love soup during summer, go figure! Lately I’ve been craving two of my favorite soups, Butternut Soup and Tom Khai Gai, so I’m sure we’ll be […]

One Good (Meat)Loaf

If someone had told me a month ago that I would be using my breadmaker practically every day I would have laughed at them. Then I went to the cooking class in L.A., and now I can’t stop! Maybe it’s a phase, but I’m sure having fun. I’m still somewhat of a cooking snob because […]

Why do you cook what you cook? + A Giveaway!

“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” — James Beard I don’t think I tell you enough how grateful I am for my readers. Blogging can feel like writing in a vacuum, and sometimes I feel like I’m talking to myself, but then I get comments from you and the vacuum disappears! One of […]

FM’s Creamy Crockpot Chicken

I was thinking about one of our favorite dinners, Mr. Fuji’s Creamy Crockpot Porky Chops, and an idea started to form in my mind. What if I applied some of the same ideas to chicken? Enter FM’s Creamy Crockpot Chicken. Ok, so not as fun sounding as porky chops, but still really yummy, I promise! […]

Buttermilk Donut Holes

This past Friday was National Donut Day. Not wanting to miss out on such an important holiday, I decided the day would not be complete without some kind of homemade donuty goodness. After reading this article, I decided it would be appropriate to pay homage to the doughnut by using an updated version of this […]

Washoku Warriors

Ms. Andoh is American born and raised, but has made Japan her home. She did her formal culinary training at the Yanagihara Kinsaryu School of Traditional Japanese Cuisine, […]
