Recent reviews of Gut Healing Japanese Cooking Course - Intensive

  • 5/5 from Paul Pang, attended Jun 2026: What a wonderful introduction to the world of Japanese ‘superfoods’. We had a fun and hands-on experience learning about and using ingredients like Koji, Kuzu and Amazake, just to name a few. The food was delicious and Yoshiko-sensei was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend this course!
  • 5/5 from Lala T, attended Sep 2025: Really enjoyed what I learnt. The chef was amazing at explaining health benefits and full of enthusiasm really bringing fun energy into the class.
  • 5/5 from Lily Su, attended Jun 2025: Cooking with Yoshiko is always Fun and educational. Highly recommend any beginner and those who love eating Japanese food to attend her classes. It's eventful, fun and a bit spontaneous. I enjoyed the team work and shared responsibility of the class.
  • 5/5 from Alexandra Lee, attended Nov 2021: Toshiko is enthusiastic and has a quirky sense of humour! Useful recipes that I'm confident will be gut cleansing when I put them to practice. Thanks!
  • 4/5 from Julia Laverty, attended Nov 2021: Teacher was lovely! Very knowledgeable about gut health and Japanese medicinal foods Venue great. A lot to eat. Would be handy to have all recipes as hand outs while cooking (rather than emailed after class) as difficult to remember
