Kenji, your 4 week adventure is very inspiring. I have considered going vegan for a month before to see if it would impact my health and also to force me to think about what I eat. However, after 3 days I always seem to quit. I may just now do it. I appreciate you posting what you eat at each meal. Your breakfasts sound wonderful. I may have to start having toast with beans and avocado every morning!

L'Appetito in the John Hancock building is great for Italian deli sandwiches, espresso, and many baked goods.

Decorated cut out cookies and fudge which are both always a hit.

My first batch of homemade ice cream - chocolate with peanut butter cups. It was eye opening to see how easy it was to make ice cream at home if you have the right recipe.

I am soo soo sorry, Kenji. Dumpling was special and thank you for sharing him with all of us Serious Eaters each week. He will be missed.

Great article and the comments are just as informative. Thanks!

It's not very innovative but discovering pea shoots recently has added one more green to my list of favorites.

I have too many cookbooks to pick one author but starting out I referred to Cooking Light magazine and also Mark Bittman's recipes.

I put sriracha on everything but love it most on Thai food.

Winter for me includes a lot of roast chicken and stews with roasted root vegetables and sauteed greens.

My grandparents. My grandma supervised and told everyone what to do while my grandpa showed us how to do the actual work (pie crusts, Christmas cookies, french bread).

Definitely the Dorie Greenspan World Peace Cookies but then again I have yet to meet a cookie I didn't like.
