Last Thursday I did a workshop for the moms at Ohana International School in Motoazabu. Although it was quite challenging to hold a class where there is no kitchen, it is always nice to get out of my own kitchen to do a class elsewhere. The turn out was great and we all had a good time packing the obento boxes (I hope). I demonstrated a couple of obento fillings including the chicken burgers (tori-tsukune) and fried chicken (tori- karaage) , but most importantly, the rules regarding hygiene and food safety when packing obento boxes. For workshops on Japanese Cooking, please contact me for details.

Yesterday was my last class of this year - Mizudaki-Nabe Class (Chicken Hot Pot) a perfect dish on a cold day. A Tokyo resident student with his visiting mother. She came to my class last year when she was visiting Tokyo which is a great honor for me to receive returning guests.
Mizudaki is a hot pot cooked in water and dipped in sauce when eating as opposed to hot pots such as yose nabe which are cooked in seasoned soup and eaten as it is. The success to the misudaki hot pot is to use chicken bones which make a good soup stock. Eating nabe in winter is an economical way of keeping warm on a cold day, and healthy! Simply Oishii Japanese Cooking Class will be closed between Dec. 23 and Jan. 12th. I will be checking e-mails to accept bookings for dates after that. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I've been asked by some of my clients about gift vouchers for Christmas. So I've created a voucher to give to your friends and family. You don't actually need the copy of this voucher, but I guess it's nice to send it as a gift. (The voucher will be sent in PDF format)
If you would like to give my cooking class as a gift, just let me know the full name of the person and I will issue a voucher once the payment (bank transfer of paypal) is made. There will be a small gift for the person using this voucher. Once the person receives the voucher she may e-mail me to book a class. It will be a home cooking class, but may be used for other courses of the equivalent value (6700 yen). Other courses with a greater value can be chosen with additional charge to be paid on the day. So if you haven't decided on what to give your friend for Christmas, how about a lesson on Japanese Home Cooking? *Please note that my cooking class is for ladies, couples and families only. There will be a Group Lesson on Tofu dishes. Tofu is a healthy, nutritious, low cost daily food that is very versatile. It is plain eaten by itself but when it's prepared properly it can be a satisfying meal. We will be preparing a full course dinner using Tofu and other Soy products. Class will be conducted in English and Japanese. Please note that this class is not Japanese Home Cooking, but western dishes using Tofu. Menu:
During the tasting session, the meal will be served with wine, followed by tea or coffee. Date : Sep. 29 (Tue) 11:00 am to 2 pm Class Fee : 6,000 yen This class does not use any meat products (only salmon) and can be gluten-free upon request. Book this course >>> Hope everyone is surviving the tropical weather here in Tokyo. To mark my first anniversary since the start of my cooking class here in Meguro, I've made minor revisions on the courses that are available for my private lessons and are now updated in my website. Major Changes are that there is a change in my class fees. There will be no surcharge for solo participants and a 10% discount for groups larger than 3. Please see each course for further details.
Other additions include:
Please note that there may be others joining in the lesson you have booked (The first group booking can choose the course). If you would like to have the class solely to yourself, that is also possible at a surcharge, so just let me know. From time to time I will try to plan group lessons and which will be announced in my website. If you are interested in joining a group lesson, just let me know and I will contact you when it happens. I am now taking bookings for September onwards. Hope to see you in my kitchen! Last class before Summer Holiday was an obento Class attended by Students studying in Japan. They did a brilliant job making onigiri rice balls! Classes will resume in September. Hope everyone has a great summer holiday and see you all this fall!!!

Last week was my Japanese Sweets Class. A Tokyo resident and a guest from Singapore joined the class. We made a matcha chiffon cake, custarI think the chiffon cake has to be cooled a bit longer in the mold as it almost fell apart when I took it out. Nonetheless it tasted great. Hope everyone had a good time.
