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!
