What you'll do

Learn how to recreate popular Japanese foods that are suitable for those on a gluten-free and vegan diet all from the comfort of your own home.

Through the combination of traditional gluten-free dishes that Japan has to offer, as well as re-creating wheat-based Japanese foods, you will learn how to cook delicious meals without gluten and with locally-sourced ingredients.

In this live online cooking class, you will be taught by Sumi Saikawa, who grew up in Kobe Japan. The class will follow the typical Japanese home cooking style 'Ichi Jyu Sansai'. This follows the foundation of Japanese cuisine since ancient times where meals consist of one type of soup and three other dishes (one main dish and two sides).

In fact, 'Ichi' means one and 'Jyu' means soup, while 'san' is three and 'sai' refers to dishes - so ichiju-sansai literally means, 'one soup, three dishes'. Rice is always served as well.

Over the course of the two-hour, live online class, we will work together to create each component of our ichiju-sansai. All components will be gluten-free and taught in a way so that you can easily replicate the recipes again. You are welcome to state any preferences and your teacher will try to accommodate.

After you make a booking:

A recipe and a shopping list will be sent to you.
An ingredients box that includes Japanese seasonings and Japanese key ingredients will be sent to you by post. You just need to prepare salt, oil and fresh vegetables from your local market.
A preparation list will also be sent to you so that you can prepare the ingredients.

The dishes you will create include:

Black sesame rice
Potato patty on Nori seaweed with homemade teriyaki sauce
Eggplant with miso glaze sauce
Vegetables miso soup
Beetroot and carrot pickles

On top of your new knowledge of Japanese culture, you will learn:

How to make Japanese vegan stock
How to use traditional Japanese seasonings and alternative seasonings

This class is suitable for people who are gluten intolerant, follow a vegan lifestyle or just have an interest in this cooking.

I was born in a Zen temple in Kobe Japan, which was an amazing environment to grow up in as a little kid. I was always in the kitchen to help make shojin ryori with mum (Temple cooking) for as long as I can remember for the temple. This was where my curiosity and fascination of food came from especially its part to play in culture and role it plays to keep the body and mind healthy.

From there, I graduated from university and worked as a dietitian in Japan for many years before meeting my husband and coming to Australia. My husband and I immigrated to Australia over 27 years ago now where we have made ourselves a family with 2 (not so young anymore) children. Now, I run lots of health oriented - cooking classes including "shojin ryori" for people living in Australia and Japan from all stages of life from the elderly to children.

My meal style: I try to give to initiative to prepare the foods even in a busy life. I appreciate the foods and I try to make food which will make me be happy.
