Loved this class so much! Yoshiko is so engaging and the food was absolutely yummy and so healthy as well. I’m booking another class right away Thank you Yoshiko
Barbara Quinlan • May 2021
The Japanese Superfoods as Medicine hands-on cooking class was a superb, excellent experience. Absolutely chaotic and abuzz with Yoshiko bustling around keeping us on track, yelling out the 'darling's and the 'bloody' this or thats. All came together remarkably with so many delightful dishes. And more: The teacher claimed she learnt English in restaurant kitchens - hence the language. However, her organisation skills with different tables being nominated to prepare various dishes, individuals co-opted for individual tasks, swaps made when necessary to have ingredients ready on time (I julienned Daikon for the ginger soup and squeezed out soaked shiitaki mushrooms - juice for the soup, mushrooms sliced by others for the cauliflower rice). Cooking was done by teams as well as plenary sessions where we all watched. She also had a team of assistants, not for teaching, but for such as carrying foods to various teams or carrying out Bento boxes, food dishes, sliced cauli leaves or Nori sheets that were taken over by tables for sprinkling over dishes. So many, many dishes, with many as small as a 2-3 shot glass! Yoshiko kept a sharp eye on everything and everyone - very impressive. The tastes were wonderful.
Julie Trell • May 2021
Very fun cooking class. Yoshiko is funny and knows her stuff. The food was delicious and we learned a lot and I can’t wait to start cooking like that at home. I definitely felt like her food is delicious medicine. It was a lot of unique food and worth the price Bring some friends.
Stephanie Sandor • May 2021
Fantastic healthy and easy recipes. A fun and casual class. I will incorporate these recipes for sure
Kim Wilson • May 2021

Miriam Stein • Jun 2019
Yoshiko's class was superb - exceeding my expectations! I feel inspired to cook regular healthy meals as well having learned some great easy remedies to cure everyday viruses. It was a real bonus to be able to buy many of the yummy organic ingredients after the class. Both Yoshiko and her lovely assistant were so generous, gracious and fun!
