Got in to Mexico City late last night. Breakfast with the fabulous Ruth this morning was amazing. What a treat!
This savory and slightly sweet winter soup is perfect for a cold winter night. Go out and get some Asian pears and your favorite mushrooms to make this soup!

My Family’s Mushroom Soup with Asian Pear Is a Cozy, Nourishing Dish in Winter
This mushroom soup with Asian pears is a soothing Chinese soup that combines earthy mushrooms with the subtle sweetness of Asian pears, creating a perfectly balanced sweet and savory flavor profile.
At the HGS Home Chef in Hillsdale NY, I taught a class on making park belly buns and Asian pear soup. Great fun and delicious food were had.
Just before Christmas, we went to this new place by Simpson Wong on the Upper West Side. Kancil is a modern interpretation of food from Malaysia with some Hakka cuisine influence. What a great combination it is. Go try it out!
Bak Kut Teh, translated to “pork rib tea,” is a soup made with pork ribs, lots of garlic, white pepper and star anise in a soy sauce broth. Although medicinal herbs are often added, I like this simpler version with just the basic ingredients. Popular in Singapore and Malaysia at many hawker stalls, but you can served this at home with some vegetables and rice as a nourishing meal for the family.
Lunch break during square dancing was at Luna Rotisserie and Empanadas. Yum!

I’m cooking again after dealing with some health issues. We had some friends over for Sunday brunch over the Memorial Day weekend. Gochujang chicken wings, Salade Niçoise, and minted fruit salad. Our friend Rachel made a coconut pecan cake for dessert. Yum!
