ne of the reasons you write a cookbook is to share what you love about cooking with others. It’s a feeling, as an author, you hope is infectious.

Take a peek above to get a sense of what the sampler is going to include. I’m including the recipe for Black Sesame Otsu in this post, down below. For those of you who liked the otsu recipe I included in my last book, I did this new version with a twist. I still use soba noodles and tofu, but everything gets slathered in a thinned-out, salty-sweet black sesame paste, and then topped with lots of sliced green onions.

Huge thanks to each of you who’ve pre-ordered the new book. I mean it, I feel fortunate to be able to work on projects like this. Ten Speed made a real effort to keep the price point reasonable, so the book is accessible to many. It is $13 onAmazon, and there are a list of alternate retailers on this page as well.

he San Francisco Chronicle ran this story a couple of weeks back, focused on how I set a holiday table. You can check out the story if you like, but, I also wanted to share something that didn’t make it into the piece.

Hi friends – I suspect it is going to be a big baking weekend, so I thought it might be helpful to wrangle some of my favorite holiday-esque cookie recipes into one spot, in a single list.

Winter Salad Love

The markets right now are all about chicories, citrus, and avocado. There are carrots, celeriac, and other roots. And then mushrooms, apples, nuts, and kale for days. For me, it’s a favorite time of year for salads.

Cleanses & Detoxes

This post was quite popular when I originally posted it last year, January 2015, so I thought I’d squeeze in an update for 2016 – before we run out of January!

Spring Roll Salad

A spring roll salad is for the times you crave the flavors and textures of Vietnamese spring rolls, but want to skip out on the “making spring rolls” part of the equation.

Mojo de ajo – let’s discuss. It’s a simple sauce made from olive oil roasted garlic cloves combined, primarily, with fresh orange and lime juice. You need it in your cooking repertoire. Here’s a list of ways I used it this week.

Vegetable Soup Recipe

A delicious argument for roasting strawberries – juices from the roasting berries combine with maple syrup, port adds a surprise hint of booziness, and the balsamic delivers a dark bass note.
