Welcome to Litsy!

It's mom's birthday today and we're celebrating by going day drinking 🎉🍻

Still making my way through this book. It's going a lot slower than most cookbooks do. Not sure if this is because it's more a how-to introduction to East Asian cuisine for Americans? Or because it's just boring? Can't tell. But ANYWAYS, lots of learning about ingredients used in this cuisine 🐣

Trying out three recipes this week from this highly-recommended cookbook that I first encountered at The Strand in NYC. So far, I like their writing, and their practical approach to sourcing ingredients.

I love cooking but too often, it looks like a mess and tastes like a mess. Books (always) to the rescue. Pictured are the full set and the ones that get the most use. I cannot say enough good things about the Lucky Peach, I would hard-core recommend it just for the shopping list and dumpling dipping sauce.

I ordered a small heap of cookbooks a week or so ago, and this was the first to arrive. I had fun flipping through it earlier and really enjoyed the writing style; here's hoping we actually cook something! (Oh yeah, the recipes look good too.)

This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever used. It's genuinely easy to follow the recipes. I've learned a lot about an ingredients and cooking techniques I can apply to the way I cook and eat, not just to the specific meals inside. I haven't even made 1/3 of the recipes yet but every single one is a winner so far.
