🥘Cooked by Welcome to Grandma's Kitchen!

Follow me (Caroline Shin, native New Yorker, Queens girl forever, multimedia journalist) as I hop from kitchen to kitchen, cooking with grandmas across the rich multicultural landscape of NYC: a Korean grandma's (my own!) pork belly in Corona, Trinidadian Grandma Louisa's hot sauce in Crown Heights, Russian Jewish Grandma Nina's stuffed peppers in the Upper West Side, and so much more. Pick up som

e gems of wisdom in the historical, emotional, and personal stories behind their comfort food, too. Cooking with Granny is about multicultural representation in food media; recognition of immigrant contributions to American cuisine; cultural preservation for Americans, new and old; and the wholehearted celebration of the unsung heroes of the kitchen and our families -- our Grannies!

Chef-owner Yvan Lemoine, a Queens guy from Sunnyside, has maxed out the deliciousness of duck — EVERY part of it, inside out, literally. This is the spectacular, special-occasion duck preparation at Tourmaline, a modern French restaurant in ritzy Forest Hills. I also covered it in Eater’s Queens Heat Map.

The E-Noodle chain closed in Flushing and opened Okay Noodle in Elmhurst, as I wrote in Eater’s Queens Heat Map. They make all their dumplings and fishballs in-house, too.

P.S. I only put the soup dumpling in the bowl to cool it down for my daughter. Usuallly, it goes right in the spoon and then in my mouth with the euphoric burn of savory, meaty, soupy, vinegary 🤤

I looove clay pot rice. Got recs for other clay pot spots??

My childhood in immigrant small biz restaurants in NYC inspired me to become a food journalist. It’s about giving the spotlight to the immigrant hustle — with fewer resources (money, connections, bureaucratic knowhow) and more challenges (language, race, culture barriers), particularly for POCs.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts and insights on this and Zohran Mamdani 🙌🙌🙌
