During our travels for The Blue Zones Kitchen cookbook, we traveled to the village of Ogimi, ground zero of world longevity. We got this recipe from 89-yr-old Yukiko Nakaimi who spent the afternoon cooking the most amazing Okinawan longevity foods for us. When I asked the secret to her vitality, I expected she’d talk about her purple potatoes or miso-braised squash. “Optimism,” she said wagging a finger at me. “I say yes to everything.”
