Thokku is a bit different from … Continue reading Food + Recipes – Tomato Thokku

The ever so amazing Tonkatsu has always been my trusted companion – especially on the days that I forget to eat! It’s perfect for any weather. Curry with Tonkatsu in Winter, a Spring Tonkatsu like the one here, a summer Tonkatsu with cold Soba Noodles, and the Fall Tonkatsu with oven-roasted root vegetables. Yum! It is an amazing fried food. Did you know that Tonkatsu … Continue reading Tonkatsu – Recipe + Poem
