Acerca de mí
My name is Yu, a Japanese living in Astoria Queens, NY.
I love cooking and found it great fun to learn how to cook American, Mexican, Italian, German, French, Korean, Chinese and more cuisines in NY, and also found many cooking lovers here are interested in Japanese cooking.
I don’t cook only for a party or a special dinner, I cook daily for everyday meals which are much healthier, tastier and cheaper than buying or eating out yet never time-consuming nor tiring.
My recipes do not need special ingredients which you can find only in a Japanese glossary shop. A local supermarket should have most of ingredients I use.
I wish you enjoy my recipes.
Influencias de Cocina
Of course I learned cooking from my mom.
Many people here in the U.S. have a common fantasy that Japanese eat sushi everyday but we also eat pizza or pasta just like here. So I learned basic cooking, not only Japanese cooking, in my mom's kitchen.
Since I married a German, I started to lean German recipes. Yes, German cooks.
The wide variety of restaurants in NY always gives me inspiration and I love trying to re-produce great food I enjoyed in restaurants.
