Not sure why I haven’t blogged about this ages ago, but you know how it goes. Back in August-September I enrolled in a wicked cooking course called Atsuko’s Kitchen and held at The Grocery on Kingsland Road, and run by Atsuko Ikeda, a really nice and friendly lady with a passion for cuisine, and not just of her native Japan.
The 5 week, 2 hours weekly course + dinner after, is a great introduction to the joys of Japanese home cooking and how to do it yourself, with intros to different types of miso, rice and ingredients every week, plus other dishes, with everything from omelet, stews, noodles and sushi rice. For those vegeterians amongst you there are of course Vege and Vegan alternatives to be made with Tofu and sans meat or fish stock for miso.
If you enjoy yourself so much, which I did, this initial 5 week course can be followed up with an advanced course, which takes you yet further into the realms of Atusko’s native cuisine. I can highly recommend the course and Atusko is a starlette, loved by all her students! She is also a great source of info and loves to impart it, sharing all things Japanese going on in London from other courses to fairs and onto whatever!
As mentioned, I would highly recommend Atsuko and her course and you can find out more, as well as book your place on the course, at www.atsukoskitchen.com.
