"why not?"

they wanted to make something for their father's day present.

once upon a time...

some people think i'm a cook, can't bake.
some people think i'm a baker/pastry chef,can't cook.
i don't know which is real me.
i can say i love baking and cooking very much.

difference between baking and cooking to me is this.
when i bake i feel so released, like having a session of meditation.
on the other hand,i get so excited when i cook for somebody.

all my cakes/desserts/other sweets are MY children.
i'd like to introduce you some of my babies...
once upon a time..._d0251646_14544998.jpg

from right to clock-wise,
mixed berry mousse topped with forestfruit sauce,
caramelized lemon tart,
plessed chocolate,soft ganache center,
coconut panna cotta with red wine sauce,
smooth chocolate mousse layered cake

aren't they pretty??

so this is how we grow

rice!!
my family never bought rice for ourselves.
it's not exist such as sushi rice in Japan.

in the early spring,we start preparing rice planting.
first, water very well for special soil in containers for rice.
sprinkle one schoop of seeds per container.
like this.
so this is how we grow_d0251646_2393734.jpg

water well again,
so this is how we grow_d0251646_23175492.jpg

cover with thin layer of soil.
leave them in a warm and humid place.

when they sprout, take them under sun light.
wait till they are grown enough for planting.
few weeks later-usually 5 to 6weeks-
yes,they are ready!
so this is how we grow_d0251646_23221083.jpg

now a days, we have special machine just for this.

ohitashi-おひたし-

this is one of my favorite vegtable dish.
basically, light boiled vegtable salad with soy-based dressing.

can be made with...
spinach, fine strips of carrot, bean sprouts, fine chopped cabbage/chinese cabbage,
mixed mushrooms, soft boiled aubugine cut into thick strips etc etc...

the simplest dressing is just soy.
if you like nutty flavor,
try peanut butter or tahini or even rosted sesame seeds adding to your soysauce.

this pics are cabbage&carrot and japanese tahini ohitashi.
cook all the veg just for a minute-or less than that-with boiling water.

squeeze out all the excecc wather of boiled veg.
mind your fingers!! its very hot!!
put them into a bowl, add soy and tahini-sesame paste-.

mix well together.
bon appetti!!

if you live in a big city which has asian supermarkets,
you may find this japanese tahini which is milder in taste than nomal tahini.
