TODAY on MHTV: The flavors of Japanese cuisine are a big culinary inspiration for me, and today I’m sharing three of my favorite authentic recipes. Crispy pork tonkatsu (a breaded and deep-fried pork chop) is sliced and drizzled with a sweet and fresh dashi-mirin sauce. On the side: simple and light cabbage salad and my warm soba salad tossed with mushrooms and crisp cucumbers.

    Lauren Tempera,

    Can you explain what “new series”means? I hope Lucinda will still be cooking with family and friends. That’s why Mad Hungry is special. Just give us more Mad Hungry.

    Didn’t have the mushrooms to make the Soba Salad. Cooked the noodles and made the dressing, then threw in chopped cucumber, carrots, scallions, cilantro, and red bell pepper with the cooled noodles. Crispy and quite good!

  • The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included.
  • Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter.
  • Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle.
  • A dish from Al Forno in Providence that Lucinda never forgot, and finally made from memory twenty years later: creamy double corn polenta with a crater of tomatoes on top.
  • Tomatoes, beets and peaches at their peak, together on one platter. Salt, oil, herbs, and nature does the rest.
