Kaiseki Cooking Class with a Chef in Tokyo - Day Trip
Kiwa grew up in the Kochi prefecture on Shikoku island in southeastern Japan, known for its unique seasonal vegetables and ingredients. Keeping with the Washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine) tradition that respects the natural beauty by using seasonal and wild ingredients, Kiwa uses fresh, seasonal ingredients as much as possible in her cooking. She also enjoys using ingredients locally sourced from Kochi and other rural areas. Inspired by a gastronomic family that owned and ran a Ryokan (traditional Japanese style inn) for many years, that served authentic kaiseki (individual small dishes used to serve a variety of Japanese foods), she has been professionally trained to be a chef in the US, France and Japan. Now Kiwa is a culinary innovator whose passion is to teach Japanese cooking without ever compromising on the use of fresh and seasonal ingredients. She is excited to share with you the story behind Japanese cultural food and its spiritual nature.

Authentic, Seasonal Japanese Home-Cooking with a Charming Kyoto Local - Day Trip
Michiyo's bright home is a peaceful respite from the bustle of Kyoto's city center. Her house, a quick 10-minute train ride from Kyoto station, is nestled in a residential neighborhood and has beautiful views of the famous Hiei-zan mountain. Michiyo enjoys cooking for friends and family and experimenting with new flavors and ingredients she discovers. Whenever she is out and eats something new and interesting, she tries to recreate the flavor at home in her own style. Michiyo's passion for cooking developed while she lived abroad for five years - she loved inviting her neighbors who were from all over the world to introduce them to authentic Japanese cooking. She realized she was happiest when cooking and feeding people and further honed her cooking skills at a culinary school after returning to Japan. Michiyo looks forward to welcoming travelers into her family home and connecting with travelers through the love that she puts into her food. Michiyo will pick guests up at the train station in her car and drive three minutes to her home. Michiyo and her husband, who live with their well-behaved daschsund dog, will invite you for a cultural immersion into Japanese food, drinks, hospitality, and tradition. Your Japanese feast will begin with a welcome beverage and be followed by authentic dishes such as nikujaga (slow-cooked meat with potatoes and seasonal vegetables), a tofu side dish and dashi-based soup, followed by a main course of perhaps chirashi-sushi or tender fried chicken flavored with Japanese ingredients. If you book a cooking experience, Michiyo will lead travelers in a hands-on cooking class in her kitchen. Travelers will learn how to make dashi stock, a fundamental building block of Japanese cuisine, and to perfectly prepare sushi rice for chirashi-sushi, garnished and served in a traditional Japanese wooden rice bowl. The cooking portion of the experience is about 90 minutes.

Traditional Tamil Brahmin Vegetarian Culinary Experience - Day Trip
Sundari is a cheerful, wonderful host whose easy laugh will instantly make any traveler feel at home. Sundari lives together with her husband Krishna in her in-laws' converted home, surrounded by fruit trees and filled with traditional art and decor. Sundari has been cooking since she was eight – she even cooked on her own coal stove as her mother prepared meals for her family. Her true passion is sharing her South Indian culinary and cultural traditions with guests. Guests will enjoy a traditional South Indian vegetarian meal eaten with their hands on fresh banana leaves (when in season) or stainless steel thalis. Flavors center around mustard, chilies, coconut, sour tamarind extract and native fruits and vegetables. The meal concludes with Sundari's delicious sweet South Indian filter coffee, a specialty coffee drink made by mixing frothed and boiled milk with coffee brewed in a Indian filter. If you book a cooking experience, travelers will learn to cook 4-5 South Indian vegetarian dishes. The menu might include typical Tamilian vegetarian main dishes such as rasam (a tangy peppery broth), sambar (lentil and tamarind based vegetable stew), and a variety of vegetable curries, rice, raita, condiments and snacks. Alternatively, travelers may request to learn to make a South Indian brunch of dosas, idlis and vadas with a variety of chutneys. Sundari also offers an optional market tour of the local Sastri Nagar neighborhood market, where travelers can see where Sundari gets her local wheat milled, see how coffee is ground and even visit the local temple. Guests will then walk back to Sundari’s kitchen and learn to prepare and share a South Indian vegetarian meal. Please note that the neighborhood market in Chennai where Sundari does her shopping is a busy street with roadside stores and vendors. This is unlike an open bazaar/wet market with bags of fruits and spices you might typically expect.

Maria is a professional chef who has worked in the culinary world since 1998. She is passionate about Greek cuisine and loves to showcase the unique ingredients and flavors that can be found in the various regions and islands of Greece. She loves creating food that has a strong sense of place by using local ingredients and techniques. Maria has lived on Syros for 4 years and strongly believes the island is a herbal paradise. She now specializes in collecting and using wild herbs and greens in her cooking, along with organic products from local farms, exceptional Cycladic cheeses, and spices and grains which give the dishes a unique, fresh and often unexpected flavor. Maria presents a journey into time, feeling the history and culture of Syros in your plate and enjoying Greek hospitality at its best. Enjoy a traditional Cycladic meal at Maria’s table. Her cooking highlights fresh, organic ingredients and wild herbs. Your meal will be heavily seasonal and might include dishes such as black-eyed beans, tomato, zucchini rocket, purslane and capers salad, fava padremeni (yellow split peas from Iraklia island served with slowly cooked onions, sun dried capers and sun dried tomato), vlita (local greens) with tyrovolia (local cheese from Syros island) and petroti (Cycladic cheese) baked in the oven with tomatoes, tourlou (a mixture of seasonal vegetables baked with chickpeas), melitzanes Dellagratsiano, a kind of mousaka, aubergines with local cheese, gruyere and San Michali, and tomato sauce and seasonal salads using both foraged ingredients as well as organic, cultivated vegetables. Your meal will end with tea or coffee and a sweet. Maria also offers a foraging tour and cooking experience, which begins with a walk near Maria’s home where she will teach you how to identify and gather wild herbs and greens. Depending on the season, you will collect herbs like sage, St. John’s wort, sea fennel and other greens and wild herbs. Maria shares her historical and scientific knowledge about the plants, as well as their use in herbal medicine and how to cook them in unexpected combinations. Once you have collected enough ingredients, you will return to Maria’s home kitchen and learn how to turn these wild plants and organic cultivated vegetables and legumes, into your meal. This is a hands-on cooking experience and Maria will guide you through the process, sharing cooking techniques, nutritional information and her stories as you cook together. You’ll prepare a unique, traditional Greek meal that is outside the mainstream of Greek food and highlights local cheeses, vegetables, legumes and grains. Traditionally meat was used sparingly so the meal will focus on vegetable-rich dishes that are highlighted with meat. Note that local Greek wine is included in the cost of your experience.
