This Month’s Theme: Nostalgic November!
#118: New England Clam Chowder
I’ve always been a fan of New England Clam Chowder ever since I was young. In fact, one of my earliest memories is of when my family and I went to a pier off the coast of California and ate some clam chowder in a bread bowl. I remember it being super cold that morning,… Read More
#169: One Pan Egg Toast
For this nostalgic recipe, I actually wanted to highlight one that was popular across social media about 5 years ago. Given the recipe’s simplicity, it’s no wonder that it was a hit back when everyone was locked up in their homes with nothing better to do. 2020 was only a few years ago and not… Read More
#171: Thai-Style Sausage & Rice Dressing
For this last recipe this Nostalgic November, I wanted to share one of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes from my childhood. Normal bread stuffing/dressing is already quite delicious and is one of my most favorite Thanksgiving foods. But, with this Thai-flavor inspired version, the spiciness from the Thai peppers and the herby fragrance from the lemongrass… Read More
#170: Chinese Hot Dog Bun
For this nostalgic recipe, I actually wanted to highlight one that was popular across social media about 5 years ago. Given the recipe’s simplicity, it’s no wonder that it was a hit back when everyone was locked up in their homes with nothing better to do. 2020 was only a few years ago and not… Read More
#119: Lobster Butternut Squash Ravioli
I was trying to think of a really special recipe to end this year’s round of Nostalgic November dishes with, and after thinking back on the dishes I’ve enjoyed in the past, this ravioli dish came back to memory after reaching back to my childhood. Specifically, this ravioli dish came from the same restaurant I… Read More
#117: Thai Roasted Chicken And Sticky Rice (ข้าวเหนียวไก่อบ)
I’ve been wanting to do this recipe since the beginning of doing this cooking show, but I, for whatever reason, waited until now to make it. Thai Roasted Chicken and Sticky Rice, or ข้าวเหนียวไก่อบ, is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood, and it’s something that I would get every time I went to… Read More

#96: Lychee-Lemon Iced Tea
For this recipe, it reminds me a lot of the vita lemon tea I used to get when I was younger. This one is a bit less cloyingly sweet but I think it strikes a nice balance between the sweetness of the fruits and bitterness of the tea. This simple sweet and sour drink is… Read More
#139: Baklava
For our yearly tradition of finding Easter recipes to make, I was trying to think of something that would be a traditional Pascal dish, while also still being in line with our theme and this Eastern European dessert was the perfect choice! Traditionally made for Easter (as well as other holidays), baklava is a sweet,… Read More
#110: Cucumber Salad
When I was younger, we used to take short road trips to various parks in the summer to enjoy the fresh air and to spend some time in the sun, and my mom used to make lunch for us to eat and one of the things I remember her making was cucumber salads. I used… Read More
#108: Trail Mix
I’ve always been a big fan of trail mix ever since I was a kid. I loved how there were so many different things included in a mix, making snacking on it a very enjoyable experience. But, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that trail mix isn’t as healthy of a snack as I once… Read More
#120: Vanillekipferl (Vanilla Crescent Cookies)
Vanillekipferl, or Vanilla Crescent Cookies, are central european vanilla shortbread cookies that are traditionally made during the Christmas season. The origins of this sweet treat comes from Vienna, Austria to celebrate the Holy League’s victory over the Ottoman Empire in 1683 at the battle of Vienna, hence the Turkish crescent moon shape of this pastry.… Read More
#12: The Custard Out of Space
So to finish off this month of making spooky recipes, I thought that a sweet dessert would be a perfect dish to end on. There were a lot of options to pick from in the Necronomnomnom, but this one seemed like the simplest one to do. Specifically in terms of the dish’s origins, the monster… Read More
