My first home-made Thanksgiving Dinner

中秋节快乐!-Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Each year, this holiday occurs on different days, because it is based on the Lunar calendar which runs differently than the Gregorian Calendar. On this night, we feast in open air while admiring the oversized full moon, at least, that’s what I did when I was a child in China.

Me and My Pies

Every year, on Thanksgiving or Christmas, I get to use the kitchen to make something no other person in my family seem to know how to make.

Coconut Cupcakes

For Christmas 2017, I was gifted with a hardback copy of Rose Levy Beranbaum’s The Baking Bible. It was the first cookbook I’ve ever own. The recipes are so elaborate and beautiful that it looked like a piece of art and I wasn’t sure if I would ever do these recipes justice.
