Video Clip of my cooking class

11/30/2016

Following my appearance on NHK Eduational Channel, they have created a page that shows 2 video clips taken during class that was not shown during the program. Actually, I think some parts were a bit exaggerated but still  I hope this clip gives you an idea of what my class is like. 

Next appearance will be in January. This will be on my Tofu Class.

Second shooting for NHK

10/8/2016

0 Comments

 
Two days after the first shooting, there was another one for the NHK program. This time it was my class for Tofu dishes. It seems like the trend to be vegetarian in western countries nowadays as I get more vegetarian requests for my class. On the contrary, Japan is consuming more meat as with the rest of the Asian countries.

After class, I introduced my Tokyo Grocery Shopping Guide, which I really hope wouldn't get edited out.  This shooting will air in December or January.

A visit from NHK

9/27/2016

0 Comments

 
Today, the camera crew from NHK Education Channel came to shoot my class. They are making a program which introduces people around the nation who are making efforts to show hospitality to foreigners visiting Japan. Simply Oishii Japanese Cooking Class will appear on two episodes to give hints on how to show hospitality by cooking.

Today was a vegetarian gyoza class. I wanted to show that there is a trend that many westerners are now eating less meat and that you need to know the guest's diet before entertaining them. And, that even if they do not eat meat, there are still many ways to entertain them. One example was the gyoza, a staple Japanese dish (although originally from China) usually made from pork can easily be made by just using vegetables and produce a similar taste. 

Since my students today can eat seafood, I also made a boiled shrimp gyoza with asparagus, which turned out to be a big hit. I hope that the Japanese people watching this program will get some ideas when entertaining foreigners.

The program will air on October 28th at 10:00 pm, and the second appearance in December (this is a monthly program)

Webinar on Female Entrepreneurship

8/19/2016

0 Comments

 
A couple of months ago, I was contacted by a college friend of mine who is involved in creating videos for an online business academy. He said they were looking for a someone who has just started their own business at home that they could interview. Someone who had left their work to bring up their children for a while and came back to the business world in a totally different field.

I thought it was just an interview but, it turned out that they were looking for a candidate for an instructor for a webinar on female entrepreneurship. So, I did my best to disclose some trade secrets on how I started my business at home using my expertise and experience and combining it with my passion - food and cooking.

I hope that this will give some inspiration to those ladies who are interested in starting a similar business. This online academy is operated by PASONA, one of the largest staffing and recruit company in Japan. It's in Japanese but you can see a preview video of me in motion!
