The 10 Best Durian of 2017 – My Year in Review

January 8, 2018 12 Comments

When I tell you where I ate my 10 best durians of the year, I’m telling you a story about me. “Best durian” are deeply personal. They’re where I was and what I was doing and what was important to me when I ate them. This post, The 10 Best Durian of 2017 is essentially […]

Chinese New Year Durian Cake (Nian Gao) | Recipe

February 7, 2016 Leave a Comment

Chinese New Year is a hopeful holiday. There’s no resolutions to make and then break, just things to do now to set yourself up for a better year. On the traditional to-do list is to make a Prosperity Cake. With durian, of course, because more durian makes a better year, right? Nian Gao is a traditional […]

Raw Vegan Durian Mooncakes

October 27, 2015 2 Comments

Over the weekend I posted some traditionally untraditional Halloween snowskin mooncakes made with rice flour and stuffed with delicious durian. But I have issues with rice. It’s not just that I’m morally opposed to rice for because global warming (stop blaming cows: it’s rice) or that white rice is basically devoid of nutrients. I personally […]

Halloween Durian Snowskin Mooncakes (Gluten-free & vegan)

October 24, 2015 Leave a Comment

It turns out durian snowskin mooncakes are not at all hard to make, and since I’m home in Oregon visiting the family, I’m making sure the Trick-or-Treaters visiting my parent’s house this Halloween will be in for a slightly scary surprise: Durian in the guise of cute pumpkin treats (insert witch cackle). Mooncakes sound dainty, […]

Durian Cheesecake Recipe, Book Review and Giveaway

June 28, 2014 14 Comments

Whenever I hang out with durian lovers, we spend a lot of time trying to describe what each durian tastes like. Sometimes it’s a lightly burnt marshmallow rolled in melted chocolate. Or a dense pastry stuffed with vanilla cream. Or sometimes it’s a creamy and vinegar Caesar dressing. With such a diverse and complex range […]

Durian Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream | Recipes

October 5, 2013 1 Comment

Durian, mint flavoring, and chocolate. When this recipe popped up on my facebook feed, it just about floored me. I really had to think about it. I mean, some durians do have a slight menthol kick to them. I just couldn’t decide if adding mint would ruin perfectly delicious durian, be just plain bizarre, or […]

Recipe: Durian Baked Alaska (Bombe Optional)

March 19, 2013 Leave a Comment

Everything about Baked Alaskas are amusing. This is probably due to the triple facts that they are often lit on fire, have an entire day in honor of them (February 1st, no joke) and yet have absolutely nothing to do with Alaska. Baked Alaskas are originally from China. A durian version re-introduces an Asian element […]

Recipe: Durian Ice Cream

March 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

In my last post I wrote about durian cake. It only makes sense to follow with  durian ice cream. Durian is great frozen. When isn’t durian great? But durian-eaters in the USA know what I’m talking about. Our durian only comes frozen, and whenever we’re too impatient to let it thaw properly (that *never* happens […]

The Ultimate Durian Cake (or Kek) Post

March 10, 2013 Leave a Comment

Durian.   Cake.   Durian + Cake = ? I honestly don’t know, because I’ve never had a durian cake. I don’t eat cake. Don’t gasp at me. I know it’s weird, especially considering the number of  recipe posts about durian cake I’ve put up recently. But just because I don’t eat it for personal health reasons […]
