Recipes for the week
6 Reader Faves 🌞
Happy Sunday. Today, I have a few reader faves to inspire your dinner plans for this week.
Weekend Update
Why do the weekends seem to go by so quickly? Work has been really busy, so I haven’t had as much time to post new recipes. I do have three new ones lined up and ready to write, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
I mentioned a few newsletters ago that I had booked a reservation at Kappo–a Wagyu omakase restaurant–and this weekend was my time to try it! The food was delicious. The major downside is that (as usual) my girl math deceived me. When I booked my reservation, I thought I’d paid for the entire dinner. Upon receiving the astronomical bill at the end of the meal, I realized I’d only paid a deposit. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I about fell out of my seat when I got the bill!
My favorite courses are in the gallery above. The first is thinly sliced Wagyu that was marinated and then grilled and served with chili pepper threads. I love chili pepper threads and have used them in recipes, like in my sesame sweet potato bowl recipe!
Next was miso soup with Wagyu and rice. The third picture is the chawanmushi–a Japanese egg custard–with dashi and Japanese parsnip. The chawanmushi was delicious. The next is the salad with tomato, dashi salt, radish, and Wagyu. I loved the flavor of the salad! It was so refreshing. Finally, the hamachi with wasabi microgreens on top.
I also did the sake pairing, so honestly, I really only remember the first three or four courses and everything after that was pretty fuzzy, ha!
For now, I am just relaxing before a busy work week ahead! Let’s dig into some reader faves to inspire your menu for the week.
