I’m always nervous when I come up with my own recipe – a THK Original, I call it. I’m worried the ingredient combinations and cooking methods I’ve concocted in my head won’t actually work. That’s why, when a dish comes out just as I planned, I am elated. This was one such case, and I got…

Snow cream is a thing. Think of it like froyo but with the fluffier texture of snow. It’s amazing. At Snowdays in the East Village, you get to eat this sweetened snow without having to get it from the dirty New York City streets. I learned about Snowdays via Lucky Magazine editor Eva Chen’s instagram.…
