About me

Kyaraben

My name's Jen. I live in a tiny urban condo between my alma mater and the other school in Cambridge.

My tiny urban condo comes with a tiny urban kitchen, hence the name of this blog. It's a bit tight at times, but over all, it works for me, and I spend lots of time there exploring new recipes and cooking methods.

I am an experimenter by nature. I worked as a research chemist for years synthesizing new molecules in the lab. Similarly, at home, I love experimenting in the kitchen and coming up with fun, new creative ways to cook.

I also love eating, and am very willing to travel for good food! That's why this blog also includes my takes on my various eating adventures, whether in Boston or around the world.

I love sharing about my food adventures, and I also love hearing what you have to say. So, please leave a comment, say hello, and feel free to give me your thoughts and suggestions too.

Thanks for visiting!

Warmly,

  2. My kids went to "one of those schools" in Boston, so I visited a lot, and Mikes Bakery was one of my favorite places. It was hard to get to the North End during the Dig also!
    I'm jealous of your condo in Cambridge! Happy cooing.

  3. Your blog and especially your pictures are fantastic! As a fellow alumni of that other school, and a current employee of the other other school, and a food blog writer, it's great to find your blog!

  5. Hi Jen,

    I'm so happy to have found your blog! You are doing what I wish I could do right now - live in an urban condo with an urban kitchen and cook up my wildest dreams! Except, I am still in college and perhaps less creative when it comes to cooking. Your work really inspired me today, especially the Totoro sushi and all those cute and yummy rice treats! When I become a mother one day, I would love to do what you do. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas, putting up tutorials and the great photography!

    -Jenny

  6. Hi there,

    Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your recipes. I haven't tried any of them yet as I've just discovered your blog now, but they look great. I've been trying to find recipes for a lot of the dishes my mom used to make. She passed away a little while ago before I really got into cooking and thus sadly many of her great recipes are now lost. Thanks to you, it looks like I may have just found a couple!

  7. Hello,

    I work for Salt Communications. You recently wrote something about one of our events, Almost Famous Chef Competition. We are trying to get an accurate count of our impressions this year and I was wondering if you could please provide me with a circulation number (visitors per day) of your website.

    I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you so much. Great website!!

    Regards,
