I love spaghetti with meat sauce! Growing up in Japan, I would order spaghetti with meat sauce every time we go to a western restaurant. I have many variation of the meat sauce recipes but this is definitely one of my favorite. Remember to get some fresh Parmesan cheese and grate it right before eating.

I am definitely addicted to good bread and whenever I have great soup or broth, I love dipping pieces of bread and savoring every last drop of the soup. It’s still cold in San Francisco in June this year so I want to share a warm comfort recipe before summer comes along. This bouillabaisse is not difficult to prepare but absolutely delish!

Japanese call Chicken Cacciatore “Chicken Tomato Ni (チキンのトマト煮)” and it is actually a pretty common home cooked meal in Japan. My kids love this dish and it’s one of our favorite comfort food. I am sure if my recipe follows the authentic Italian method but I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!

There is something irresistible about the smell of burnt cheese from the oven. One of my favorite open baked cheese dish is Meat Doria. What is Doria? In Japan we call rice gratins “Doria.” Doria consists of sauteed ingredients in either white sauce or tomato sauce poured over cooked rice and then baked in oven or oven toaster.

This is an authentic Indian Chicken Curry recipe from my Indian friend. I have added a lot more vegetable than the typical recipe because I want to make sure my children eat enough vegetable in their diet. The spice level is also not very spicy so feel free to increase the amount of chili powder if you love spicy food.
