Thank you for this delightful post! As a cookbook lover, I'm so intrigued by the development process, so I sincerely appreciate the glimpse into your life and weekly routine! Now I'll be on the lookout for chrysanthemum greens (hadn't heard of them before this post - thank you for the exposure!) to make this pesto!

I LOVE chrysanthemum greens but I’ve never thought to use them in a non-Asian preparation. Thanks for inspiring me and I’m gonna try this pesto :).

I think this is where I find a lot of inspiration! Finding creative ways to use Asian ingredients outsides of how we’re used to!

So true :) Since I subscribe to a CSA, I often use local veggies in Asian preparations too!

haha it's that architecture school training for you! sometimes I slip up and the letters go from all caps to cursive... like in cucumber!

Thank you so much for this! I'm hoping to make it this week and I'm wondering if I can also use the stems? I can see in the photo that you did, but mine look quite thick and I'm wondering if that's still ok!
