About this class
Join our one day Japanese cookery class based on Atsuko’s second cookbook ‘Atsuko’s Japanese Kitchen’. With over 15 years of teaching experience, Atsuko takes you on a journey to the truth of Japanese cuisine.
This class is all about celebrating Japanese everyday cooking. You will learn how to prepare the very best home-cooked comfort food recipes from Atsuko’s cookbook. Atsuko will teach you the simple secrets of Japanese cuisine based on the magic “rule of 5”, how to plan and eat a meal the Japanese way and the essential ingredients and tools you will need to get started. Atsuko will give you plenty of cooking tips throughout the class to help you understand the concept behind Japanese food.
Expect an intensive day as most of popular Japanese dishes will be covered in this class. After the class, you will gain the confidence to cook a full Japanese meal to impress your friends and family!
