#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…

#157: California Roll
I’ve been meaning to make a sushi recipe for a while now, especially after we made the onigiri recipe a few years ago, and I thought that the California Roll would be the perfect one to start with! The California Roll interestingly has a complicated origin story, with the roll’s invention being disputed, either being…

#156: Calamari
Calamari is one of my favorite things to eat when I get fried seafood. The crunchy exterior with a chewy, but tender center in a ring shape is just the best when made properly. But often when I order this appetizer at a restaurant, it’s usually lacking in some department. So, I typically pass over…

#155: Baked Brie w/ Fig Jam
When thinking of what appetizers I wanted to make this go around, I wanted to focus on appetizers that were quick to make, but I still wanted the recipe to be something that will impress your party guests more than just cheese and crackers. So, for our first recipe this month, I thought it would…

#154: Horchata
I’ve been meaning to make this drink recipe for a little while now, but I kind of forgot that I was going to do so. Thankfully, a fan of the show reminded me of this delicious cinnamon rice drink and I thought that I’d share my recipe with all of you! Horchata is actually the…

#153: Taro Milk Tea
When I was younger, I used to not really like the taste of taro. But as I grew up, I came to appreciate the mildly nutty, slight sweet, vanilla flavor of this root vegetable. It’s definitely a bit of an acquired taste if you’re more used to saccharinely sweet drinks popular in America, but with…

#152: Iced Chocolate Chai
Chai lattes are something I like to get when I want something creamy with a little bit of spice and some caffeine as well. Every chai made will be slightly different in terms of flavor since the amount and type of spices used will vary. But, one good thing about making your own chai is…

#151: Mint Matcha Latte
For this round of juice-free drinks, I knew I wanted to try to make another matcha drink recipe for this month. I really like the grassy, naturally sweet flavor of Matcha and I think it pairs well with so many different flavors, such as lime, lavender, and roses. So, I thought for this episode, I…

#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…

#149: Mango Lassi
One of my favorite things to eat in the summer is very spicy food. I’m not really sure if it helps with the heat by making you sweat, but pairing it with cold drinks certainly does help with cooling me down, both my body and my tongue. And since lassi is made with yogurt, it’s…
