Hi! My name is Ayaka and I'm a Japanese/Korean - American with a love for eating good food, which led to a passion of trying to make said good food.

What started off as a necessity in college to cut costs bloomed into something I love as I kept experimenting in the kitchen. I love sharing traditional cultural recipes and recipe ideas that come at random times in the day (my first savory oats series idea came to me in the shower, which I then proceeded to make immediately after at 1am from being so excited lol).

Hope you like these recipes - I'd love to know what you think of them!
