happy new year!

I spent New Year’s eve cooking with my mum at home in the UK. We prepared our traditional osechi (Japanese new year) meal, using my grandma’s recipes, and enjoyed it with the whole family on New Year’s day.

The whole cooking process takes most of the day, with the black beans starting the night before. We even made mochi!

Hope you all had a great start to the year. Take care, wrap up warm, and let’s hope 2023 is a gentle one.
