Butternut Squash Soup
The first time I attempted to cook with butternut squash, I ended up buying a Kabocha squash aka Japanese pumpkin instead to make my Creamy Kabocha Squash Risotto.

White Boiled Shrimp 白灼虾 and Chinese Broccoli 芥蘭
白灼虾 pronounced bok chur ha which literally translates to “white boiled shrimp”, is a popular Cantonese dish that is very quick to prepare.

Our Thanksgiving Eve Dinner!
I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving and ate delicious food to your stomach’s content! For Natalya and me, it’s a bit too far to fly home to California for Thanksgiving (plus we work on Friday) so for the past few years, we have just stayed in New York. We decided to host a Thanksgiving … Continue reading
Baked Crab Dip
My mom has made this crab dip for years for family gatherings and I admit I am absolutely obsessed with it. It’s so simple and easy and absolutely delicious.
