Babble Top 100 Mom Food Bloggers 2013

“What started as a passion project to create a collection of Chen’s family recipes to pass on to her children has garnered an international audience. Chen’s recipes pull heavily from her Japanese roots and include delights like homemade rice porridge and squid with miso vinaigrette. If you’re new to Japanese cooking, don’t break a sweat just yet. Chen’s blog also includes a comprehensive how-to section that gives readers the lowdown on basics, like wrapping a gyoza (dumpling) or the proper way to cut tofu.” – Babble.com

Babble Top 100 Mom Food Bloggers 2012

“Dishes heavily influenced by the recipes Chen grew up with in Yokohama, Japan are the hallmarks of this blog, but don’t let that deter moms with picky eaters. If you can’t convince Junior to chow down on braised carrot and burdock root stir-fry, there are plenty of more familiar options, like tomato bacon pasta and chicken and corn chowder. What all of Chen’s recipes have in common is that they’re no fuss.” – Babble.com
