16 Asian-style Recipes

You need to try this month

Hi there! Happy Tuesday and happy March ❤️

I’m so excited for a new month and a new culinary adventure! Last month, we explored Middle Eastern cuisine, and it was incredible to share so many delicious recipes and connect with all of you. Now, it’s time to dive into something new!

This month, we’re celebrating Asian cuisine— one of my favorite cuisines! People always seems surprised by the fact that we eat Asian food at least 3 times a week. We love cooking recipes from Asia and feel very confident, almost more confident than cooking Spanish food!

This month, I’ll be sharing recipes, meal ideas, pantry staples, and cookbook recommendations. I can’t wait to take this journey with you!

To kick things off, check out our 16 favorite Asian-inspired recipes. If you have a favorite Asian dish or recipe, I’d love for you to share it with me 😊.

I hope you enjoy this month’s theme and find inspiration to try something new in the kitchen. Let me know if you have any questions—I’m always happy to help!
