Linguine with Clams Recipe - Monterey Fish Market The Monterey Fish Market has been supplying seafood to the Bay area since 1979. Paul Johnson, one of its owners, began his career as a chef in Berkeley, later becoming introduced to the fish distribution business. He knew quality and over the years, they’ve continued to build strong relationships with fisherman, industry professionals, chefs, restaurants, and the local consumer. From local Dungeness crab, rockfish, halibut to more distant fish, shellfish, and crustacean — they have it all. Needless to say, it’s become my favorite seafood markets in the Bay Area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1715928942179-4BF3ARU8JZCFNYB50FR5/IMG_0331.jpeg kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1715928941817-CJXE22R8P2LRKQUYP3XB/IMG_0326.jpeg kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1715799801852-P9UO2W2196HX1RC528IC/IMG_0647.JPG kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1715799807621-M2A1I4LO1W2RX2G214K7/IMG_5174.JPG kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/f1f4b549-47a8-4be4-a23c-1640d5074735/IMG_5186.JPG kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1715800904174-U967X2379GC3UMO10VR2/Flott+baby+clams+in+juice.jpeg kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1715801350400-74ONKFCBEMQTCT35Q64X/IMG_7091.JPG kitchen - Linguine with Clams Recipe https://www.chrissykchen.com/kitchen/blog-savory-turnip-cake monthly 0.5 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/cc8d8dc5-6191-4ec9-9d46-917e0c410864/Tezza-4011.JPG kitchen - Savory Turnip Cake Recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1708997665471-XRK4Y5WEK27Y62BO309W/IMG_2935+2.JPG kitchen - Savory Turnip Cake Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1708997665799-MZ8IT95YGM921KAP8VUR/IMG_3159.jpeg kitchen - Savory Turnip Cake Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1708997678247-7A7HI6UBRCNLR4E43342/Tezza-3445.JPG kitchen - Savory Turnip Cake Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1708997673589-B8V1S7JMC908X54616VB/IMG_2976.JPG kitchen - Savory Turnip Cake Recipe https://www.chrissykchen.com/kitchen/brown-sugar-rice-cake monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/0293f1b9-44a9-4365-8896-777e062d6716/Tezza-7717.jpg kitchen - Brown Sugar Rice Cake Recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/3bf58a42-790e-4ca7-b6cd-1667bd6aa53d/Tezza-0753+2.jpg kitchen - Brown Sugar Rice Cake Recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chrissykchen.com/kitchen/003-new-year-same-traditions monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/ec4065f6-1ebf-41c0-bd8b-c5dd2790ecb1/Lanterns+new.png kitchen - New Year, Same Traditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/35e14439-af52-4753-84dc-339543e07606/CNY+World+Map+zoomed+in+2.jpg kitchen - New Year, Same Traditions - Did you know?

However, her influence stays with me, and has driven my passion for home baking, starting from a young age. It’s rooted in my DNA. My memories only go as far as spotty recollections during my early years of baking when she’d come over to our house to teach me and my sister how to make an assortment of baked goodies — from strawberry shortcake to linzer cookies filled with raspberry jam to some other great American classics. But to tell her story from a different light, I turn to my Uncle Carlton, the second eldest of Helen Eng’s three children, who shares vivid memories of his mother’s cooking and baking during his childhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1611201937984-XT6PS09N5MNH9D9LBGN3/IMG_0015.jpeg kitchen - Ma’s Touch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1611202062891-YX27Y5AD3MJX5H7SXNKE/IMG_0013.jpeg kitchen - Ma’s Touch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1611204885851-93KAH2II4KLG3RLPWTUF/IMG_0019.jpeg kitchen - Ma’s Touch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1611202278655-YK52ESOY87ZH85OFP75Z/IMG_0014.jpeg kitchen - Ma’s Touch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1611202318161-70DLBAHZBM23H6W43MCA/IMG_2270.jpeg kitchen - Ma’s Touch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1611208077273-K7HHIG339YH7VPI7NWXX/IMG_0020.jpeg kitchen - Ma’s Touch https://www.chrissykchen.com/kitchen/a-multicultural-feast monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606506107265-1QG31WOPR43CIEGHCIK7/IMG_5045.JPG kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606507121071-ISKO4QD0EGIMS5SHQRKE/IMG_5044.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606507336492-G7PEAPT45WIU9S7PSPVN/IMG_5042.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606506459205-73TY83SBB994KPXWYLZM/IMG_5024.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast - Peking duck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606506703196-LSLQKB8H6ZOGVFG4DNWL/IMG_5040.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606506711595-Y66ZSRRFPNAFLFZ8SYWF/IMG_5025.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606506904729-KBGAB77MOQPHBBOKJY59/IMG_5027.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606506906015-GTDI420NQ9KGGM7940GI/IMG_5028.jpg kitchen - A Multicultural Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1606508355374-V4KRV4SDF1QPS7EU1YD8/NA+-+corn.png kitchen - A Multicultural Feast - Disclaimer: Thanksgiving is a time where we celebrate togetherness and family, but it should also be a time to spread awareness on the events that have negatively impacted the lives of Indigenous people and reevaluate the white-washed narrative of Thanksgiving that has been taught in history classes for years. It’s as important as ever to acknowledge the hardships Indigenous people have endured over the past few centuries, support Native communities as they reclaim Native foodways, and learn from their perspectives. And because of these events, Thanksgiving has been able to evolve into the holiday that it is today.

Personally, reading/watching the resources below have helped me gain perspective (and I’m still learning!). If you’d like to learn more, I encourage you to check out them out, spread the word through informed conversations, and most importantly, support Native owned businesses whenever possible.

And I’m sure you’re wondering what does this cheese taste like in the end? This cheese is a sensory experience that is a complex blend of sweet, salty, nutty, and umami characteristics. The beauty of this cheese is that as it ages, the flavors intensify, the color darkens into an amber yellow, and most interestingly develops tiny white crystals that add to its complex flavor and crumbly texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1601838686600-7HSIT7Y8B94CDH22EOQB/IMG_6348.jpg travel - The Big Cheese - History of Cheese & Cultural Significance in Italy Some of the earliest cheese-making in Italy dates back 2,000 years and today, over 600 different kinds of cheese are made throughout the country. During the Middle Ages, cheesemaking found its humble beginnings when monks discovered a way to preserve the milk and transform it into a product that was nutritious, affordable, and most importantly, long-lasting. For many Italians who could not afford to serve meat on the table regularly, this solution was a great alternative as the virtually endless supply of milk could provide food in the form of cheese during times of ration while keeping their cows alive. From then on, the advancement and refinement of cheese-making over the years from its raw form to cooked curds led to a product that could be matured and be preserved for much longer. With this, cheese became a staple in the Italian diet not only for survival, but has transformed into a tradition and art form that gives character to each and every region it’s made in. https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes daily 0.75 2025-12-20 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Chinese%2FCantonese monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Italian monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Autumn monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Winter monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Appetizer monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Summer monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Main monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/recipes/category/Dessert monthly 0.5 https://www.chrissykchen.com/reflections daily 0.75 2026-05-17 https://www.chrissykchen.com/reflections/solo-travel-the-thrill-the-unease-and-everything-in-between monthly 0.5 2026-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1777952013487-JBCW3T1GBFZWC0ED7WTJ/IMG_0982.JPG reflections - Solo Travel: The Thrill, the Unease, and Everything In Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1777952017765-8WA1123ZBAFQ237B64N3/IMG_3130.JPG reflections - Solo Travel: The Thrill, the Unease, and Everything In Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1777952017793-IQXC5LY5OYUQDVCBTYL5/IMG_3173.JPG reflections - Solo Travel: The Thrill, the Unease, and Everything In Between https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1777952320869-16DP65O84UTI61K3C4BJ/IMG_8158.JPG reflections - Solo Travel: The Thrill, the Unease, and Everything In Between https://www.chrissykchen.com/events daily 0.75 2026-08-10 https://www.chrissykchen.com/events/chinese-herbal-tea-blending-workshop monthly 0.5 2026-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148429478-D68R8JDXSU7I96XGZZLC/IMG_1115.JPG events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148441390-4H38HW1W3KWLFWM50B3Y/IMG_1137.JPG events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148524655-CC4ZI97LT14KMZ0TZF65/IMG_2975.jpeg events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148366879-XN8ZU25LSG74D5KMNB6N/IMG_8929.jpeg events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148556537-Y5QGQQHR4RLO8YGUIWQC/IMG_8953.jpeg events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148773144-0TC1081D9HAEEBJCOXWJ/IMG_1050.JPG events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148761085-GTWEYAXOTXD7Y5SVZMSM/IMG_2980.jpeg events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/1786148431632-Q2JPFLRB3T1WED82VEIR/IMG_8985.JPG events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/b253b0d7-6ebb-452a-b557-2c585091526a/Chrysanthemum+tea+3.webp events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop - Chrysanthemum Flower Flavor: Floral · delicate · slightly sweet Function: Associated with cooling qualities in Chinese herbal traditions.

Small flowers are best steeped in a cup of hot water while larger, more mature flowers are ideally brewed in a pot of boiling water. Reflection: Growing up in a Cantonese family, I drank chrysanthemum tea every week and is my go-to choice after a rich meal to aid in digestion, a great sleepy-time tea just before bed, and for me, offers a sense of comfort and home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/9192ad45-1bb4-4911-8932-e99dab9fd9b8/Jujube+dates.webp events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop - Jujube Dates Flavor: Sweet · fruity · caramel · honey Function: Associated with warming qualities in Chinese herbal traditions.

Brewing/Usage: Chinese orange peels used in teas are dried and often aged. They can be either steeped in hot water or simmered in boiling water depending on desired strength, flavor, and medicinal benefit. Reflection: I like to consume dried orange peels whenever I am needing support for digestion, bloating, or motion sickness. Often, my family uses dried orange peels in food applications by adding to soups or stews to cut through rich, fatty ingredients, reduce meat gaminess, and to desserts for a bright, citrusy flavor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/e252f5df-850a-437c-837e-c3880d16a2db/Dried+lemon+balm+2.jpg events - Chinese Herbal Tea Blending Workshop - Lemon Balm Flavor: Herbaceous · minty · slightly citrusy · slightly sweet Function: Lemon balm is more commonly found in Mediterranean and Western herbal traditions than that of Chinese. Lemon balm is associated with cooling qualities and helps support the nervous system, anxiety, stress, sleep, and eases digestion. Brewing: Typically enjoyed as an herbal infusion by steeping leaves in hot water. Reflection: Lemon balm is a newer addition to my own herbal practice, aiding in supporting the nervous system. I often combine lemon balm leaves with chrysanthemum flowers and milky oats to create a tea blend to support relaxation and the nervous system. I’ve decided to include it in this workshop to showcase supporting herbs from both Eastern and Western herbal practices that could be intertwined with a unique perspective. https://www.chrissykchen.com/about daily 0.75 2026-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/c01cc1a5-0213-4a23-95b0-cecb45bc63bb/Tezza-1797.jpeg https://www.chrissykchen.com/home daily 1.0 2026-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/3eb3f5d9-d8a2-40e6-8d6f-a30ef25e274c/Tezza-4945.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/a7a9b4c5-21fa-44cd-93c0-32e3d510bd4f/IMG_3495.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/5d0a2b70-85e8-4a21-87a1-461b2510a50d/IMG_3429.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/597e4fa0-b45f-441d-ad2f-0cc731b91a2a/IMG_3012.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/2ebb4357-8bc4-4c0c-94db-56d78b222cad/544040010036.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/0dd309e1-5262-46bf-9382-84a6ad266bd1/33982291-CA02-4E60-9208-659E242CE410.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/6a79fba0-8445-45d0-b703-c20b9d67acb7/009877020031.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/0436a363-ef81-4606-8b85-2fe345e5445c/IMG_1611.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/e955e5c2-ab22-40e1-bb35-933599f15a0d/Kyoto+Japan.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/2c97e7ab-e110-4e17-8867-8bb48b975a6a/San+ho+won.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/ba85930c-7928-4a10-8da9-50395a11eaba/IMG_4657.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/2e277637-5d4b-4378-89ce-aff902f7cfba/Tezza-9517.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/9b841e81-5a9e-4ffb-8b64-cc4829967345/Tezza-2951.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/2fa0fb17-df4f-437b-b184-063c2799b889/A1AE5653-2288-40C5-BD97-59F2E1B51F58.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/e76e5089-7a9e-44f1-9933-7c95afad829f/Tezza-9842.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/4f3a1f57-0380-4b3f-89ae-2746dc072b73/IMG_3180.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/b462284d-7e83-4ffc-9abb-c1ea9c90325d/Tezza-5906.jpg https://www.chrissykchen.com/shorts daily 0.75 2024-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/faf24f40-d9d0-42e0-ae52-19ac5ecb28c6/220915+Hog+Island+Oyster+Co.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/10207986-faec-48f6-b623-7dc3316c95fd/230429_Busan+Korea+Jagalchi.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/28788659-906d-416f-b0ad-68e9952c0770/230220_Tacos_Mexico+City.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f34aa2b9fd2396b36e66c6e/a079f6c2-b488-49e9-aee1-0fb14506c24d/180428_Jamon+Iberico_Salamanca+Spain.JPG
