Love the flavours, textures and beautiful presentation of Japanese food? Discover the simplicity and health-giving properties of this wonderful cuisine with Rieko Hayashi. Rieko will share with you the tricks and techniques to creating the staple dishes eaten every day in Japanese homes. You will learn what to do with a range of fresh and pantry ingredients, and be guided through making some incredibly tasty and healthy dishes that you can bring back to your students.

Rieko is passionate about her culture, fine cuisine and healthy eating. She has been running her own Japanese home-style cooking classes since 2011 as well as working as a private chef. Before she began working independently Rieko worked in several restaurants/cafes in Melbourne as a chef.

Participants in this workshop will learn some good foundations to making their own Japanese-style dishes, including knowledge and experience of  traditional ingredients. This will stand you in great stead when bringing the wonderful culture of Japanese cuisine to your students.
