Golden, crunchy crispy smashed potatoes with soft, creamy centers. A pinch of baking soda is the secret to the extra-crispy crust.

Celery root and leek soup is a delicious twist on the classic potato leek soup. Celery root is one of those vegetables we often overlook because we’re not quite sure what to do with it. But don’t let its knobby appearance fool you! It has a mild, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of leeks.

What makes this soup special is how well the flavors come together. White miso adds a lovely umami depth, while a little lemon juice brightens the soup and brings the flavors to life. Fresh herbs add a touch of freshness, and Pecorino Romano gives it a savory finish. The result is a smooth, flavorful soup that lets these simple ingredients shine.

Japanese Milk Bread has officially become my favorite yeast bread!
If you’ve never tried it, you’re in for a treat. It’s incredibly soft, fluffy, and light, with a slightly sweet, milky flavor.

It is delicious all by itself, but it’s also perfect for toast, or simply warm with a little butter. Honestly, it’s hard to resist!
