In Japan, matcha is not only used in wagashi (Japanese confectionery), but also in many western pastries. Mille crepe cake is no exception. We love this Japanese twist on a classic French pastry, Matcha Mille Crepe Cake (抹茶ミルクレープケーキ). What is Matcha Mille Crepe Cake? But first, what is Matcha (抹茶)? Matcha is green tea powder. Many people ask me if the standard green tea (leaves) can be ground into “matcha”, but unfortunately, they can’t....

Preparation It may be hard to imagine, but the synthetic fabrics and speciality materials that make your rain jackets waterproof and your workout gear wick moisture away didn’t exist until the mid-20th century. Before then, craftsmen had to waterproof their own clothing, using grease and other animal byproducts to keep their outerwear as dry as possible throughout the seasons. In the early 1900s, mariners became especially interested in fabric wax, which led to the advent of waterproof and windproof canvas sails that weren’t too stiff; they later created jackets out of the same material....

Some of the feedback and requests I received from the readers are for more quick and easy recipes. The other day I made this pork chop after my children’s afternoon swim lesson, the most busy day of the week for me. Because of my mom’s visit, I haven’t had the chance to do my regular grocery runs so my fridge was pretty empty. I quickly ran to get some pork chops, spinach, and other ingredients from the market on the way home and I made this dish in less than one hour including marinade time....

Figuring out main dishes for dinner is relatively easy, but I often struggle with what to serve alongside it. Ideally, I’d like to serve 2 small side dishes for my Ichiju Sansai style Japanese meal.

This classic salad pairs well with a variety of Japanese or Asian mains....

Preparation Some sights are so jaw-dropping in beauty, they have to be seen to be believed. Ice caves fit that description perfectly. With many having a year-round temperature below 32 degrees and a huge amount of ice formations from a steady stream of water, these natural freezers are a favorite place for visitors from all over the world. And where there’s an ice cave, there’s probably a glacier. According to the National Park Service, a melting glacier may sometimes cause small caves to form within the ice, between the ice and the bedrock, or between the ice and the sediment beneath it....
