I felt compelled to write this because of the difference in responses I’ve received over the last 6 years doing what I do. I felt compelled to write this because of the good press, viral bad press, in-the-middle press Influencers have gotten over the last many years. I felt compelled to write this because my team […]
If you’ve spent any notable amount of time with me in the last 10 years, you’d know how I feel about New York. It didn’t take long for me to fall and to fall hard. A self-proclaimed Brooklyn-girl I’d quickly become, after dragging my suitcase between West Chelsea and East Williamsburg for six months. Baby, […]
i’ve spent a lot of time putting together complex recipes & extravagant menus for others – from perfecting a chocolate chip cookie for a boy i fell in love with (down to number of granules of volcanic sea salt i sprinkle on top) to going to barcelona for one day to learn how to […]
If you’ve been following Huckleberry Kim (Hi, Mom!), you’ll know that I have this weird thing about pants. And you know what, I was right all along.

I have a big family, and we all love to get together to catch up, laugh, and eat — Great memories are always made. Today, we met up for a barbecue, where the kids could run around and play; and the adults could stroll around the beautiful lake and catch up on all the latests. […]
Remember when Jerry & Elaine had to get the “lesser babka” – the cinnamon one – because the last, greater babka – the chocolate one – was sold right in front of them? It was the first thing I thought of when this Sandwich-inspired Babka article was recently published in a Lucky Peach newsletter. I thought to myself: what would […]
This Thanksgiving, I decided to be the pâtissier for our family gathering. One of the quick and delicious dessert ideas I came up with was the following Blackberry Cheesecake Puffs. You only need a few simple ingredients: Puff pastry (I just used the packaged sheets available in the freezer section at most grocers), cream cheese, granulated […]
Once upon a time, I was sixteen and wrote my college application essays about how I wanted to study economic development at UC Berkeley so I could start a minimalist apparel line with priorities of social consciousness and ecological consciousness in production. Then, I could share my love for fashion & design with the world, while providing new […]
