August is Children’s summer vacation month, so people who can’t come to Kura in regular months could join some classes. I was really happy to meet those people.
There were regular classes, a class for a family from Thailand, class for a Filipino who is really interested in Japanese dishes, class for mothers and daughters. They were all exciting classes.

Welcome drink was a black berry drink which was home- made. I used fresh black berries from one of my Kura-cooking students, with sugar, and vinegar. It had a lot of vitamin C. All students loved it.It was the best drink in hot days.

The table flower was the crape myrtle which bloom for 100 days in summer. I think the color was sophisticating.
The regular classes:
Steamed fish with ginger sauce, Thin Japanese basil pancake, Marinated ladyfingers, Cooked rice with fresh soybeans, Steamed egg custard, Winter melon jelly

Steamed fish with ginger was mixed with sesame oil so its taste was Chinese. Thin Japanese pancake was similar to Korean. Summer egg custard was really plain. Winter melon jelly was similar to apple jelly.

Students from Thailand didn’t cook in their country. But they enjoyed very much and also cooked well. From now on, they will cook something in Thailand.

Children in mothers and daughter’s class was excited and cooked very well. We made Chinese dumplings.
They made skins of dumplings and filling well.

Filipino wanted to make Tonkatsu. We made healthy Tonkatsu.
She said, she could eat just a few pieces in a Tonkatsu restaurants.
But she could the tonkatu she cooked. I was really happy.

In Afternoon tea lesson we made blueberry scones with sour cream. Sour cream scones was fresher than clotted cream. They were good for summer!

Thank you very much for the students. I am really sorry for people who couldn’t meet up with the schedule. I’m looking forward to seeing them in the near future.
