In Japan, there exists a profound yet simple concept known as ikigai (生き甲斐), which literally means “life” (iki) and “worth” or “benefit” (kai). It is a word that encapsulates the essence of finding purpose in everyday life. Rooted in Okinawan culture, ikigai is more than just a philosophy — it is a way of living, a quiet but powerful force that brings fulfillment and direction.

Growing up going to Japan since 1988- the Satsumaimo sweet potato was a staple in Japan during the war and in our household – after writing cookbooks for a few decades, I discovered that always adding fruits or vegetables to my pancake and my baked recipes added another layer of flavor and nutrients into each delicious bite. Enjoy my sweet potato pancakes.

RecipesChef notesMiso paste has been a staple in my Japanese family for hundreds of years. It's the perfect way to get natural probiotics as well as an immunity boost and overall gut-health boost in the morning! With the combination of sliced avocado and togarashi and/or chili flakes on top, this is a simple and delicious way to start the morning.

RecipesChef notesThere's something really delicious about blueberries with ricotta cheese. My Polish grandmother, Babcia, made these delicious blueberry cheese pierogis for me in Connecticut in cold months as a kid, so these pancakes always remind me of her. She was the perfect hostess and loved cooking all day for the family. Technique tip: Leave the batter slightly lumpy (don't overmix!), allow the batter to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes after mixing; this ensures fluffy pancakes.
