What Can I Expect
Join one of Yuki’s Japanese cookery classes! These two and a half-hour lessons take place at Japanese chef, food writer and teacher Yuki Gomi’s south London kitchen and will teach you just how simple, delicious and nourishing Japanese food can be.
Yuki grew up in Japan in the shadow of Mount Fuji, learning how to make traditional Japanese dishes using seasonal products, mostly homegrown. As an adopted Londoner, Yuki’s aim is to bring her taste of Japan to you in the capital.
Her book ‘Sushi at Home’ published by Penguin showed us how making sushi at home is very much do-able and these Japanese cookery courses have the same aim. With Yuki’s relaxed, patient and very amenable teaching style, these classes are a delight.
We have a variety of classes for you to choose from, including Ramen, Gyoza, Miso, Sushi, Katsu and more. You’ll be making everything ‘from scratch’, so there’s no reaching for the ready-made curry sauce to go on your Panko-crispy Katsu Chicken!
As well as being completely hands-on, what we love about Yuki’s classes is that you will learn lots about the traditions of Japanese cookery. From learning about the different soya-based misos, to the importance of rice as a staple food.
Fascinating, fun and above all fantastically tasty, we highly recommend Yuki’s kitchen Japanese cookery classes in South London for anyone who loves ramens, dumplings, sushi and all those lovely foods from Japan!
