I started really cooking in college when I couldn't take the cafeteria food anymore, and now that I've graduated grad school and am supposedly a working girl, am discovering how hard it is to cook satisfying meals after a long day. Soup! One bowl meals are my quick and easy fallout solution. My mother is Japanese and my father is Southern: I am a veritable Asian-Fusion cook. I love making real Japanese family dishes (not the stuff you'll find in restaurants) and serving Southern Peach Cobbler for dessert!
