About Japanese Ideas
Japanese Ideas is a unique business offering hands on cookery class by native Japanese to anyone who is interested in Japanese cooking. Although Japanese cuisine became popular, many people do not know about it other than raw fish. Japanese Ideas introduces Japanese home cooking, the dishes ordinary Japanese people eat at home, the dishes taught by mothers and grandmothers.
Types of class.
Sushi class - four different types of sushi and miso soup - 3 hours.
Dinner party class - four different dishes and Japanese style plain rice - 3 hours.
Mini sushi class - three different types of sushi - 1. 5 hours.
Starting with welcome Japanese tea followed by talking about the dish, going through the recipe, hands on cooking in the kitchen and sitting down and eating what you have just cooked.
Japanese ideas is managed by Hiroko Clark who came to England in 1989. The foreign cuisine was not popular at that time and the words “TV chef” were not invented, but now there are so many cooking programmes on TV and exotic ingredients are widely available. Hiroko thinks it is important to learn authentic food from the natives.
Local catering service and cooking at your house for your dinner party are also available.
