In the chaotic kitchen of a recipe developer, you get a food blog called FoodMayhem.
I'm Jessica, an Asian-American, born and raised in NYC, and that's Lon, my Jewish, white husband. While professionally trained as a French culinary- and pastry chef, many of FoodMayhem recipes are my attempt to preserve and share authentic Chinese and Taiwanese recipes learned from my mom. We don't eat Chinese food every day, so you'll get a little bit of anything we find delicious enough to share: from our Eastern European side; recipes and techniques learned from my restaurant days; restaurant reviews, food travel tips; and a few other juicy bits along the way. Welcome to FoodMayhem!

You might remember the big jar of Pickled Mustard Greens I made. One of the best reasons to make it, is this dish, Squid with Pickled Mustard Greens. It’s a traditional dish I grew up with and have always loved. You’ll find it on menus as a lunch special over rice, but it might be an acquired taste (Lon did not like it). *One major update is that Lon now loves this dish.
