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

Come-to-the-Rescue Chicken Soup

Hello LFM readers! Thank you so much for all of your kind comments! Little Fuji is doing well and I am recovering nicely. However, I’m not quite ready to take back the reins here and so you have the opportunity to hear from a few more of my favorite people in the meantime while I […]

The birth of the newest member of the Fuji family

Hi, this is Mr. Fuji posting in behalf of Fuji Mama today. Yesterday at 11:41AM, Little Fuji was born. We got to the hospital at 9:00 and waited for a bit while the nurse got Fuji Mama ready for the c-section. At around 11ish, Fuji Mama was rolled into the operating room where the anesthesiologist […]

Happy Chinese New Year Double Lucky Gifts – Tangerine Peel Chicken and Easy Orange Applique

Gung Hei Fat Choy Fujiland! It’s Jackie from The Kitchen Post and La Fuji Mama has asked me to share a little bit of Chinese New Year fun with you on this first day of the year of the Ox! I’m sure I can speak for all Fuji fans by wishing the Fuji’s good […]

Tossed Salad

Today’s post is a bit of a “tossed salad,” so bear with me! This past Friday was my birthday (thank you to all of you who left birthday wishes–it made my day!), and it was a great day. When I married Mr. Fuji it became a tradition for him to take me out for sushi […]

Potato Soup for the Soul

Not being able to do any real cooking lately has been insanely frustrating! I’m just itching to get back into the kitchen. But Little Fuji #2 will be here soon and I’ll be allowed to be back on my feet again–WAHOO! It’s a good thing that I have had people willing to come and use […]

Serendipity served with a side of lobster.

It’s good to belong to a foodie family. Special serendipitous things seem to happen when you have fellow family members that think about and love yummy food as much as you do. Case in point: Saturday morning I had been having an email conversation with Lolly about lobster rolls (don’t ask) and was CRAVING lobster […]

That’s a Wrap! Dressing your bento in style.

So you’ve got your bento all packed up full of yummy food, but what are you going to carry it in? Just carrying around a box is a bit awkward. Well, I’ve got an easy bag you can sew up in under an hour that makes a perfect bento bag. A month ago, one of […]

Celebrating Simplicity: Quick and Easy Carrot Sesame Salad

When I think of Japanese cuisine, one of the words that comes to mind is “simple.” Not all Japanese dishes are simple, but many celebrate flavors and ingredients through simplicity. Some of my favorite dishes have relatively few ingredients and focus on highlighting flavors and celebrating certain seasonal ingredients. Leonardo DaVinci is quoted as having […]

Bun in the oven

I apologize that things have been sparse here on LFM. I’ve been restricted by my doctor on what I can do while I work on my all-important baking project. As you can see things are rising nicely.This past Friday we took a quick peak into the oven to make sure things were baking as they […]

Cousin Jack Pasties

I’ve been meaning to make a certain recipe out of the little cookbook of all her recipes that Nate’s Grandma Ellie gave me when we got married and just have never gotten around to it–a recipe called Cousin Jack Pasties. I fell in love with Cornish Pasties,a savory pastry filled with meat and vegetables, when […]
