I wrote a whole cookbook, friends! It’s called How to Eat Your Feelings and it’s my baby and I hope you’ll love her as much as I do! It’s all about how I use cooking as a form of meditation, and why I cook the things I cook when I’m feeling a certain way. You […]
Hi, my name is Holly and I’m obsessed with Din Tai Fung, and really all things delicious dim sum. This is the second day in a row I’ve made dim sum for dinner (yesterday was har gow – with wrappers made from scratch). I made this recipe on Instagram Stories — are you following me, […]
I woke up at 5am with a craving for Pop-Tarts. Unfortunately, there was nary a Tart of the Pop variety to be found in my impossibly tiny kitchen. I did, however, have a hodgepodge of random ingredients already on deck to be able to make some from (almost) scratch. So, this isn’t really a “recipe” […]
I had the pleasuriest pleasure to work with Lily and Joslyn for Grammy-themed episode of Cheat Day on ClevverTV! They let me fly my pun flag high and proud for this all-day music-inspired eating extravaganza! BTWs, if you know me, then you know how much I love food puns and just how much sheer […]
Hi Friends of FMITK! Need a cute holiday appetizer idea? How about these twice-baked shrimp stuffed mini potatoes? They’re kind of like a deviled egg and a twice-baked potato and a cute little baby and then you topped that baby’s head with a piece of perfectly grilled shrimp. Watch me make these LIVE today, Thursday […]
I’m actually not a fan of any kind of tomato-based sauce. I know. I know. I don’t even like tomato soup. The only red sauces I’ve fallen head-over heels with are the marinara at Buona Forchetta, and Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese. This is my take on a ground turkey bolognese; other than switching up the protein, […]
I love going to ethnic grocery stores, buying random things, and hoarding them until juuuuuuust the perfect time. This was one of those times. I found rose petal flower tea at an international grocery store that mostly specialized in Middle Eastern spices. I’ve been holding on to it for about 6 months. The hibiscus was […]
The Universe always brings fellow food lovers across my path, so randomly running into Ben Justus on the streets of San Diego was no surprise. We connected over our love of a good steak and the Oysters and Pearls from The French Laundry. And then he told me about EGBOK: Everything’s Gonna Be OK, a […]
I ate a pound of snap peas last night. That’s it. No protein. No starch. Just a big ol’ bowl of snap peas. Whenever I make something that I really love, I tend to overdo it. I’ve made this snap pea recipe 3 times in the past week and I can’t fathom being sick of […]
Larb is one of my faaaavorite dishes! It’s Laotian in origin, but some Thai and Vietnamese restaurants have it on the menu as well. I had no idea how easy this was to make! There are a lot of flavors that compliment each other well in this recipe – the sourness from the lime, umami […]
