I’m a huge soup fan. Chunky, smooth, creamy, or noodle-y, come wintertime, I want all the soups, all the time. Thankfully, not all soups take hours to make. This corn soup, thickened with a bit of tofu and seasoned...
I am so incredibly obsessed with Tokyo’s pastry game. It seems like everywhere I go I see something I want to eat. The cake above, Sadaharu Aoki’s Matcha Adzuki has delicious layers of matcha buttercream, dark chocolate genoise,...

I can’t remember the first time I had a banh mi, but I do remember that once I started, I didn’t stop. Mike and I have even gone on (multiple) banh mi crawls before…in multiple cities. No, nothing quite as...
