Veal with Maitake Cream Sauce

This isn't just dinner. This is a statement. Four courses. Japanese fish market ingredients. My daughter Lumi as sous chef. Proper plating. Perfect timing.

Appetizer through dessert—each course planned to show up for the person who shows up for me every day. Kihada maguro is so beautiful, I could sell it for $200. Homemade pescatore with fresh shellfish. Veal with maitake cream sauce. Basque cheesecake to finish.

This is what love looks like in the Tatekitchen.

Lobster and Salmon Roe Pasta

Cooking this meal for my parents was a labor of love. It was a way for me to show my appreciation for them and to share a piece of my life here in Boston. As we sat around the table, sharing stories and laughter, I couldn't help but feel grateful for these moments. After all, the best meals are the ones shared with loved ones.

Uni carbonara

Make it at home! Tatekitchen has been busy around this time because my wife’s birthday is Jan 31st, and Valentine’s day is 2 weeks after, so I have been spoiling my wife with full course dinner to make her happy at the most wonderful time of the year. Cooking makes us warm, at least during the coldest season in Boston. How was your valentine’s day?

Beef tongue

Like many things in life, cooking a romantic dinner for two sounds better than it generally ends up being. What you're thinking is a bottle of wine, soulful looks into one another's eyes, and maybe a little joke that you two will remember and laugh about for years and years. I cook Pescatore once a year for her birthday.

Lemon Garlic Pasta with Chicken, Red and Green

I love italian color. Green and Red. What nice color. This dish is not only colorful, but very nutritious! You can use broccoli instead of avocado. I would recommend cutting chicken into big size. You cook chicken slowly, so it gets better taste. Make sure you don't overcook avocado, otherwise it gets bitter.
