Our classes are designed for people who are interested in Japanese or other Asian home cooking   They are not aimed for chefs.   Our approach is very hands-on and practical to boost participants' confidence to reproduce the dishes at home.

Classes are all one-day and one-off sessions.  They are conducted in a casual and relaxed environment in a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen.  All classes are fully hands-on, and limit the size of the group to ensure personal attention to all participants. Larger groups are supported by an instructor and an assistant. Organic ingredients will be used where possible.

A typical class commences with an introduction to the Japanese/ Asian pantry, as well as a detailed explanation of the background and context of each dish and particular ingredients.  Then all participants will be invited to put on their aprons and start the fun hands-on practice. Demonstration and cooking instruction are given throughout the session and we ensure that every participant is given exposure to all the dishes.  Then everyone get to enjoy a full sit-down lunch accompanied by specialty teas to crown your participation in the class.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed today's cooking experience.  Corona welcomed us into her home and guided us through a range of new ingredients and cooking skills, giving mere novices the confidence to have a try on our own. I thoroughly recommend the expierence.  A highlight was sharing very pleasant company over a delicious and authentic Japanese lunch that I had some part in preparing.  Thank you."
