A simple, old-school #dinner tonight: Red Fife #crêpes rolled with ham and asparagus, and topped with Mornay sauce. https://t.co/GR9s168iWy

It’s been a day of indulgence around here: #biscuits with #sausage gravy for #brunch, then #bulgogi beef #bao and #kimchi fries for #dinner. Probably not the healthiest day of pandemic cooking, but definitely one of… https://t.co/FT2udaEBnO

One cannot live by ramen alone: sometimes you need to change up your choice of noodle! #soba #noodles #snowday #lunch https://t.co/hBhqVlUN2m

It’s a real shame about this whole social distancing thing, because mchayday and I probably don’t need to eat *all* these #apple #fritters by ourselves. But I guess we’re gonna have to… 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/IMugXZx1yP

I’ve had mixed success with Dutch-oven bread before, but I’m pretty happy with how this loaf turned out. https://t.co/P6pOhGAvnQ

[Matthew Kayahara @mtkayahara]

Took a crack at the “tea loaf” recipe posted recently by @cakesmyth. A totally new type of loaf to me, in that it is chemically leavened, but contains no fat! It has a hearty texture, and is quite delicious as I sit… https://t.co/r8B91fsuZ3

Cheeseburger and fries. The ultimate comfort food? https://t.co/MghxL5yPLk

Playing around with Japanese curry buns today. These are pretty crazy delicious! Shaping is a bit tricky, though. #research #development #curry #bread #bun #カレーパン #自家製 https://t.co/Xi1A54j8lO

First time making Kouign-Amann. I don’t have a lot of experience with laminated doughs in general, and I’ve never made a *yeasted* laminated dough, so I’ve got no complaints about how these came out! https://t.co/YriVB26BEj

If I make a White Lady, but with yuzu bitters in it, can I call it a Geisha? #cocktail #sour #bitters #gin https://t.co/wt7yNL7WoP

Best thing to land on my doorstep in a while. They are, in a word, game-changing. #yuzu #cocktail #bitters #japan https://t.co/iSiRodI5Cs

Jumped on the bandwagon of using my forced downtime to bake bread. (Partially) Red Fife sandwich bread, and a rather handsome-looking loaf, if I say so myself! https://t.co/Snb4mzXJmv

Sunday mornings were made for muffins. https://t.co/qo5plE6IbV

A Japanese-style feast tonight: salt-grilled madai collar; kabocha squash with azuki beans; broccoli stems goma-miso-ae; chawan-mushi with shrimp; some excellent takuan pickled daikon; and rice, of course. In… https://t.co/iXTPPWXkFU

Taco Thursday is a thing, right? https://t.co/wGmsrjZtsn

New Year’s Eve #dinner: Shepherd’s pie, if the shepherd were a fisherman. https://t.co/IC9lboklUw

[Matthew Kayahara @mtkayahara]

New Year’s Eve is for sparkling #wine! This #cocktail is a French 75 x Champs Élysées bastard love child… let’s call it an Élysée Palace. https://t.co/6QiX8zdvVJ

New Year’s Eve dinner prep begins… https://t.co/z5W8FA1gOM

Given the apparent theme of this year’s gifts, it seemed only appropriate to have a #German-style breakfast this morning. Merry Christmas, everyone! https://t.co/Of6iNsJM3x

[Matthew Kayahara @mtkayahara]

A very British Christmas Eve feast for me and mchayday: salmon en croûte from @jamieoliver and Brussels sprouts salad with clementine and russet apple from @nigelslater. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/kkzg13g21v
