When I lived in London, I was in charge of writing recipe to the magazine called ’ Journey’- Japanese community weekly free magazine.
Since in a while, I had a chance to cook for them during my stay.
Recipes will come out around summer, still secured, but using these spices.
Shooting like this.
I was glad to see them again. It was concentrated hours cooking 9 dishes and chatting.
Now, I finished everything and relax.
Will enjoy beautiful season in London.

I feel like I came home.
Cold and chilly weather last week, but it is London
Then, yes!, beautiful weather. Let’s go for a walk.
My favorite place without doubt. Regent park.
I just love so many greens in London. Even in the busy street, greens.
After the class, I enjoyed a bit of sightseeing and local food in Lisbon.
One of Portuguese friends kindly took me around the town.
Beautiful blue and red contrast.
Lisbon is quite hilly, sometimes I am surprised its steep narrow streets, but it is beautiful.
Good food in Lisbon. As it is so close to the sea, fresh seafoods are available. Great sunlight makes fruit and vegetable very ripe and sweet.
Tempura, now we feel like Japanese food, but it comes from Portugal.
Squid ink past, it is very colorful.
I am just obsessed with fresh orange juice sold everywhere. It is so sweet and costs less than one euro.
I am impressed with this natural gas mineral water called ‘Pedras’. Portuguese are very proud of this water. Yes, it is indeed good taste.
There are many sweets in Portugal, too. Japanese popular sweet called ‘Kasutera’ is also originally made from Portuguese ‘Pão de lós’ .
Of course. Famous sweet, Pastel de Nata.
I enjoyed my stay in Lisbon. I will definitely come back again.
I am now in Lisbon to give the class at Macrobiotic institution. Had a great time with local students teaching Japanese vegetarian dishes. I had a nightmare two days ago to come here ( Missed the connected flight at Brussels, delay, then lost baggage arriving mid night) , but I am super happy that I could manage to deliver the class. Everybody seemed to enjoy. Appreciate great helps from school,translater, assistants and special thanks to Simon Brown, who is my macrobiotic teacher and arranged everything to make this happen.
Muito Obligada!
