#119: Lobster Butternut Squash Ravioli

#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


#118: New England Clam Chowder

#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


#170: Chinese Hot Dog Bun

#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


#117: Thai Roasted Chicken And Sticky Rice (ข้าวเหนียวไก่อบ)

#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

#116: Homemade Pumpkin Pie

#116: Homemade Pumpkin Pie

For our first recipe for this month, I wanted to wrap up our accidental string of pumpkin recipes with a classic recipe for this month in particular. Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite things to eat during the holidays and it always reminds me of my childhood, where we’d have pumpkin pie along with… Read More

#137: Cioppino

#137: Cioppino

When I first heard of this dish, much like our previous seafood recipe, I had thought that this was some sort of fancy European soup. But, not only is it not fancy, it’s not even European! Cioppino finds its origins in San Francisco during the 1800s, where Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese fishermen combined whatever they… Read More


#150: American Apple Float

#150: American Apple Float

When I was trying to think of a fun American drink to do for this round of drinks, I thought it would be fun to combine two quintessential American things into one. So, by combining the American Apple Pie with the classic summer ice cream float, I thought it would be the perfect way to… Read More


#69: Naughty and Nice Chocolate Bonbons

#69: Naughty and Nice Chocolate Bonbons

Bonbons are one of my favorite things to get during Christmas time. When I was younger, we used to get these assorted chocolate boxes from a Southern Californian chocolate store called See’s as gifts for Christmas. I think they’re more well-known now, but as a child, I always thought they were such a luxury. The… Read More


#129: Sticky Asian Ribs

#129: Sticky Asian Ribs

With our third round of Frugal February, I wanted to focus once again on meals that I like to make when I need to save some money and save some time as well, in terms of active cooking time as well as time spent getting new stuff from the grocery store. One of these simple… Read More


#158: Japanese Ginger Carrot Salad & Miso Soup

#158: Japanese Ginger Carrot Salad & Miso Soup

When I was thinking about appetizers I wanted to make for this last recipe this go around, I wanted to try to make something that was a bit more of an appetizer for a meal rather than it being an hors d’oeuvre to snack on like our previous recipes this month. And so, after ordering… Read More


#136: Sourdough Bread

#136: Sourdough Bread

Originally, I was planning on making this recipe a lot sooner, as you could see in the background of some of my videos in November, but my starter was being pretty temperamental at the time due to the cold, so I decided to let it develop some more and make the recipe later. Initially, I… Read More
