April 19, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Yesterday, I turned 24, rather unceremoniously. Usually, I make a big fuss of my birthday – I drag it out for as long as possible, believing as I do that you should never waste a good excuse to indulge in all your favorite foods and coerce all your favorite people into spending time with you. But this year, given all the chaos in our city right now, it felt different. I still celebrated – last Saturday I had a fun […]

Over the weekend, I developed three wasabi-centric recipes for the last round of the Marx Food contest that I’ve been participating in for the past 7 weeks. I only submitted one of my three recipe so the contest, but I still enjoyed the other two. One of the rejected recipes was for wasabi cupcakes with grapefruit buttercream and caramelized grapefruit.
