I focus on recipes that are easy to make using familiar ingredients and everyday seasonings found in any home.

The happiness of making something tasty, the joy of hearing “It’s delicious!”, the smiles around the dining table, and the fun of cooking together with children—these are the heartwarming little moments I hope to deliver through my cooking."

Tips & Notes

This recipe uses an 18 cm (7 in.) Staub pot, but a regular pot with a lid works just as well. If too much liquid evaporates, simply add a bit more water and continue simmering until the vegetables are soft.
A tightly-sealed lid helps prevent too much moisture from escaping and allows the vegetables to cook evenly.
