Scallion Tart / Pumpkin Cornbread / Gyoza



Blog Post & Recipe: Scallion tart: the everything dish


It’s easy, easy like making Playdoh cups. All you have to do is have the ingredients in the house and 35 or so minutes to cook in.


Blog Post & Recipe: Pumpkin Cornbread


It might not surprise you that my favorite cornbread is a) healthy and b) involves pumpkin. It's very moist and slightly sweet, and goes well with just about any chili I can think of. A bit of cinnamon gives it a hint of earthy, sweet spice that makes a really nice compliment to a meaty, spicy chili.


Blog Post & Recipe: Gyoza Recipe (Japanese Pan-Fried Dumplings)


My most recent adjustment to the gyoza recipe is in the technique I use when mixing the filling. In Elizabeth Andoh’s cookbook, Washoku, she describes a method that helps tenderize the meat and helps hold the filling together. She explains that it’s “a bit like baseball practice” because you are gathering the filling into a ball and throwing it back into the bowl repeatedly.
