Some dreams feel too big to say out loud, and somehow, this one came true. ✨

We’re so proud, and still pinching ourselves, to share that our Uyghur food and recipes are featured in Saveur’s fall issue. We’re the first Uyghur story to appear in the magazine, and it’s something we never imagined.

A heartfelt thank you to @alicelevitteats for believing in our food and bringing our story to @SaveurMag, to @ninagallant_for the beautiful photos that brought it all to life, and to @alextestere for making the whole process so much smoother. Seeing 13 pages devoted to our food and story means more than we can say.

Our hearts are full. We’re so grateful, and this still feels like a dream. 🥹💛

Honored and grateful to be included in The New York Times’ 25 Best Restaurants in Boston again this year.

To our staff who give everything to this place, our vendors and purveyors who always come through, and every guest who continues to believe in what we do, this is yours too.

Proud, grateful, and still hungry.

Fall menu is out now. Come see what we’ve been working on.

I’ve been a food writer for close to 20 years. In that time, my number one goal has never changed. The pinnacle has always been to write for @saveurmag. Guess what? It’s finally happened and the story is about one of my greatest culinary passions.

In the Fall/Winter 2026 issue, now available at bookstores and online, I got the opportunity to tell the tale of the Michelin-recognized New England Uyghur restaurant, @jahunger_ . Throughout 14 pages, readers will learn about my favorite cumin-redolent, chile-spiked cuisine. Those who haven’t had the opportunity to visit Xinjiang or a Uyghur restaurant can now learn to make bouncy hand-pulled noodles, earthy lamb skewers and stick-to-your-ribs polo at home, all with the exceptional photography of superstar @ninagallant_

I couldn’t be more #grateful and I can’t wait to see what’s next. #printisnotdead #printisntdead

People say writing a cookbook is hard, and it certainly is a tremendous amount of work. But the truth is, this book poured right out of me, because I’ve been writing it in my head for the last 20 years without even knowing it.

I didn’t realize that the way I think about cooking - all the little habits and mental notes - were actually strategies I built to help my busy brain thrive in the kitchen.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated or overwhelmed in the kitchen, I wrote this for you. I hope it makes weeknights easier, hosting more fun, and gives you real relief from the mental load of dinner - plus a little more confidence that carries well beyond the kitchen.

If you’d like to give me the BEST birthday present ever, preorder link is in my bio and at catherinesmart.com ❤️
