"If you are one of the latter, this article will do very little for you."

I was of this camp at the start of this article, but I have to say...I'm converted! Those pictures are amazing! *drool* Next time I go to NYC, I'm definitely going to try to find those places. Thanks for posting!

Seriously Asian: How to Make Mochi by Hand

Well if anyone wants to try an easier recipe, this is one that my friend uses and the mochi come out really well. Add filling as you like.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Microwave-Mochi/Detail.aspx

@hmw0029: That sounds neat. I'll bet it does taste better!

Seriously Asian: How to Make Mochi by Hand

The recipe here looks like an interesting project if you're interested in doing it the really, really old-fashioned way...and if you have tons of time on your hands.

@chanjying & Centelleo: You don't need mortar and pestle. This recipe is way more complicated than it has to be. We're in a modern-enough age where you can go to an Asian store and buy glutinous rice flour (or sweet rice flour, as other people mentioned).

@ the dilettantista: You don't need a steamer insert. I'll post a different recipe here later.

@ thebirdie, hmw0029, & engmcmuffin: I agree.

Cakespy: Chocolate Avocado Cake With Avocado Buttercream

This looks really interesting. I may try it someday. I did make avocado cookies before (er, following my own "recipe") as an experiment. It tasted way too avocado-ey for my taste, though I guess that shouldn't have been a surprise. The texture was a little strange too.

Cook the Book: The Grand Central Baking Book

I like a lot of Asian bakeries in Flushing, NY. Sooo good! It's hard to go wrong at any of them, I think. Go where there are a lot of people, and you won't regret it.
