Not a fan or tired of the traditional burger? Try this easy quinoa burger recipe. Not only is it super tasty, but it packs quite the nutritional punch.

Do you know about kinpira-gobo? We used to make it for our orinigiri (Japanese rice ball) when we had a store front on Dupont street in Toronto. Kinpira is usually made with burdock roots and carrots.
Since I am in Japan, I sent OKAZU to my Japanese friends to see how they use it.
This recipe is from one of my friends who make kinpira with beets instead of burdock roots and carrots. It's super easy and delicious, so I wanted to share it with you!

We love matcha! These butter cookies aren’t too sweet and they highlight the delicate bitterness of matcha (green tea powder).
Fumi has been gobbling these up.
Enjoy with a cup of hot tea.

Spanish tortilla or Spanish omelette is a wildly popular dish in Spain. It's made with eggs, potatoes and onions, and is usually served as an appetizer. For us, it's a dish that can be eaten at any time so we think it's ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
