ReCPY takes you through the Japan-inflected world of baking and cooking, with a distinct Yamahomo accent.
Yamahomo is based in NYC. He prefers to stay in the kitchen all weekend long rather than going outside.

ReCPY: Dead Porgie Society
I love Dead Poets Society. When I first saw the movie in Japan, I bought a duffle coat just like them, and begged my mama to change the liner to red satin. No wonder she said no, since that sounds so fucking gay. I live a couple of blocks from Ethan Hawke, and see him […]

ReCPY: Holy Mole!
I am not talking about the big mole scene from Austin Powers. This is one of the most complicated food I have evermade. Why did I make mole? Because my friend went to Mexico and brought back a bunch of dried chillies. When you have bag full of chili, you naturally make mole, right? I […]

ReCPY: Chicken Shiso CoRn Ball
As I promised, this week I am sharing my chicken shiso coRn ball recipe this week. I’ve made chicken meatballs many times for parties. I usually use it as mini chicken sliders with a piece of shiso leaf, with a slice of cucumber. But I kicked this up a notch this time, and served it […]

ReCPY: The Oh-So-Easy BluebeRRy TaRt
Summer seems to be coming to an end. In my imaginary backyard, we have a blueberry tree (do they grow on trees, or on the ground?) and it is harvest season right now. What do you do when you have a bunch of blueberries? Make a pie or tart. I just found the easiest recipe […]

ReCPY: Pickled OkRa
While I was still thinking about sloth and summerly posts, suddenly the editor changes the direction to R. What the hell does R mean? Me? This is such an Anna Wintour move, and I feel like Grace: love her, but hate her. However being a working bee, we have to comply with orders from the […]

ReCPY: How to Fillet a Fish (Sorta)
This title might be deceiving. You know I cook a lot, from lazyass to the it-will-take-all-day kind. But fish is something I’ve never explored much. As I mentioned last week, something about the eyes, the mouth, and the flesh freaks me out. In Japan, where fish supply is abundant, most people buy fish whole, and cut […]

ReCPY: One Hell of a Dish (From Tomatoes to Pesto to Snapper)
Thursday, another start of a four-day weekend, was spent in the kitchen. It was gorgeous outside, and it would have been a perfect day to lay on the beach, but all the travel, sand, and that return trip with sand stuck in your butt crack didn’t sound too attractive, so I decided to devote it […]

ReCPY: Blanched Tomatoes (Unslothy Preparation)
Although this month is designated for sloth, I don’t work Thursdays or Fridays this month so I have too much free time on my hands. I can’t think of anything else to do but stay in the kitchen. People think I’m a social butterfly, but in reality, I am a loser who stays in the […]

ReCPY: Shiso Granita
I mention all the time that there’s a Greenmarket every Wednesday outside of my work. There’s an awesome Korean-owned farm, who always have Japanese cucumbers, eggplants and shishito peppers. This season, shiso is abundant as well. I only buy shiso there since everything else is extremely expensive. On top of it, the next tent sells […]
