Thank you. An amazing introduction to ramen making. And a delicious result!
Myself and my partner really enjoyed this class! It was well presented, enjoyably interactive and a very enjoyable evening. We can’t wait to cook more ramen from scratch with everything we learnt. Thank you so much Akemi!
I had been wanting to take a workshop in miso making for a long time and my 1-1 class with Akemi was everything I’d hoped for and more.
She took me through all the steps to make miso after which we made three snacks with some of her home made miso and then enjoyed eating them with a glass of wine. That’s my idea of a perfect cooking class!
The class was well organised and Akemi is a fermentation master who is an excellent teacher. She’s very friendly and makes you feel relaxed and welcome in her home. I took home my jar of miso along with a goodie bag and the recipes for miso and the snacks we made.
I’m so pleased I signed up for the class and am hoping to take a tofu class with her soon.
