"Let me in!, I want to join you...! and I'm hungry..."Leo(the dog in front) says at the door between the kitchen and the office. He is so cute!!!!!
(We usually keep dogs away from the kitchen every time we have classes.)

Basics Cooking Class with Sanae & Eric

We had a macrobiotic basic class at the end of March that became second time.
I' ll show you one of examples which I'm sure will be good to know.
We made "Daily condiment" using carrot green tops and sesame seeds .
Carrots tops are one of the things that we usually throw away or don't know exactly
how to use, but this condiment adds a great touch to cooked whole grains!

Eric is going to show how to wash and cut for today's soup.
