In the chaotic kitchen of a recipe developer, you get a food blog called FoodMayhem.
I'm Jessica, an Asian-American, born and raised in NYC, and that's Lon, my Jewish, white husband. While professionally trained as a French culinary- and pastry chef, many of FoodMayhem recipes are my attempt to preserve and share authentic Chinese and Taiwanese recipes learned from my mom. We don't eat Chinese food every day, so you'll get a little bit of anything we find delicious enough to share: from our Eastern European side; recipes and techniques learned from my restaurant days; restaurant reviews, food travel tips; and a few other juicy bits along the way. Welcome to FoodMayhem!
Have you had fresh strawberries with feta cheese before? If not, you’re missing out on a great combination. Try throwing together this simple salad, some mixed greens, fresh sliced strawberries, crumbled feta, and drizzle with an aged balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Don’t forget to season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. It’s beautiful and elegant, but simple and not too fussy, like the perfect black dress that can be dressy or casual.
When we were in Corfu, Greece we had fabulous Spinach Pie Rolls. I found something similar with a cheese filling in NY, but it wasn’t as good without the spinach. I do love cheese so combining the two, I now have my own version of the Spinach Pie Roll.
