This is how I start every year. Cold plunge first - that electric shock that wakes up everything. Then osechi ryori - days of preparation, boxes of traditional Japanese New Year's food, each dish carrying meaning for the year ahead. One is intensity. The other is intention. Both matter. Both reset me.
Celebrating the New Year with a traditional Japanese Osechi feast, filled with flavors that symbolize health, happiness, and prosperity. Wishing everyone a joyful and abundant year ahead!

The lobster is sitting on top of the paella - bright red, surrounded by mussels and roasted peppers. My daughter's best friend and his family are leaving Boston, heading back to Japan. I wanted to give them something they'd remember. Something unmistakably BOSTON. While the paella cooked, I gave the exhausted father a NeuroVizr session. He hadn't felt that calm in months.

Veronika is in Boston. Time to cook. Gluten-free buckwheat pizzoccheri with spring vegetables. Beef tongue braised for hours until fall-apart tender. Roasted beets and caramelized onions salad. Then Veronika brought Nicky's mom's banana bread - I added coconut cream on top. This is what I love about cooking for Veronika: she GETS it. The technique. The time. The effort.

Look, I'll be honest - most gluten-free ramen is disappointing. Mushy noodles. Weak broth. It's like someone gave up halfway through.
Not this one.
This is the ramen that made my gluten-free friends actually EXCITED about ramen again—crystal-clear golden broth. Real chicken chashu. That umami depth you've been missing. And yeah, it takes some time—but you're building something incredible here.

It's my wife's birthday. What she wanted: drop the kids at daycare, get coffee at Copley, and just exist. That's luxury for a busy mom. Then I bought fresh seafood from Eataly and cooked her a proper four-course Italian dinner at home. Duck magret, pasta al pescatore, insalata di artichocchi grigliati, mousse al limone. The real gift? Time, effort, and three hours where she wasn't "Mom." Just herself, being served.

It's 9 AM on January 1st, 2024. Everyone's sleeping off their hangovers. And I'm standing at Castle Island in Boston, about to jump into the Atlantic Ocean. In January. My kids are watching. "Is my dad crazy!?" After the 38-degree plunge, we go home to Osechi - traditional Japanese New Year's feast spread across lacquered boxes. Cold water for discipline. Osechi for intention. This is how I start the year.

It's Christmas at the Matsuda house, and I've been cooking for over a week. Cassoulet - the ultimate French winter feast. Duck thighs cured with petit salé for seven days, bones saved and frozen for stock, then assembled with pork ribs, chorizo, and white beans. My old BJJ training partner Takashima drove up from New York with his family. He brought ribeye steaks. I laughed - there's already a whole duck, pork ribs, pork hock, and chorizo in this cassoulet. "More meat is always better," he said. He's not wrong.

My younger brother was in Boston for Christmas. We drove him up to L.L. Bean headquarters in Freeport, Maine.
