Meal Planning
We start with the foods in your kitchen and balance them with new foods and recipe ideas to cook healthy, effortless and playful meals. The Bento-Box gives us inspiration for our Goji Lunch Boxes for Grown-ups. This concept comes from the tradition of preparing quick lunch-time options using home-cooked food that was made with thought and care. By altering the tastes of dinner-time foods to incorporate them into a healthy home-prepared mobile meal, we guide you through preparing food so that the tastes and quality are preserved when warm or cold.
Pantry Makeover & Equipment Essentials
Because cooking in a tidy kitchen is important, one of our services is to guide you through making your kitchen organized. This will make the cooking process as simple as possible. When there is order, then cooking is much more enjoyable. We can also recommend cooking tools that are sometimes ancient, but very efficient. For example, we don't encourage using a microwave, but rather the bamboo steamer. Tools, like the steamer, are very easy to store, inexpensive, and work just as fast as some new technology. We start off with recommending a basic set of equipment for making cooking in your kitchen easy.
Local Market Food Selection
To cook tasty foods, knowing your vegetables, fruits and other ingredients is definitely essential. We guide you through choosing vegetables that are necessary in your kitchen. We choose things that have longer durations, like onions, garlic, ginger, other herbs and salts. We go through developing an extensive list with you, that contains very useful recommendations to add to your kitchen ingredients. We also help you build familiarity with seasonal foods - to ensure that you learn to locate produce that is most fresh and delicious. Through this service we share with you many tricks to detect fruits and vegetables that are ripe and ready.
Kid's Cuisine
For kid's health and future with food it's very important for them to always try out different tastes.
In Japan a lot of emphasis is placed on kids' chewing food. Chewing food helps them learn the many ingredients used in their meals.
It also is believed to help with the health of their teeth. The way kids sit while eating is also important, along with many other
things related to the practice of eating.
Since we find kids' relationship with food so important, we encourage them to be playful with their food by making food interesting using
cute shapes, calm, sweet or creamy tastes, while not using too much dairy or sugar products.
We try to emphasize the importance of having the whole color spectrum within the meal. With the japanese bento box approach we arrange
different healthy foods with many colors, tastes and textures.
