I nearly fooled you all didn’t I? That I am some kind of calm baker that finds peace and simplicity in the kitchen. I am an angry baker. I get stressed out when I bake and am on high alert the entire time. Anything can set me off and I go into an angry spiral –…
Street food in Miyajima was amazing and it is probably one of the best street foods I’ve had for a very long time. Let me start with yakigaki which I was referring to in my last post about Kakiya. Look how big these oysters are! Loved the giant oysters that had a charred taste but it felt…
