Teachers profile
【Instructor of dietary education / Vegetable-Fruit advisor】 Hi there! My name is Ai. Prease call me Ai. I am from Yokohama and I still live in Yokohama. I worked internet consulting company as a web director for 11 years. During that time, I gave birth to three children. It was a fun and challenging job, but as the number of children increased, I became to think that dietary education is very important. Especially, I felt the importance of dietary education from the experience of baby food. I reaffirmed the wonderfulness of the "Umami" Japanese food, which is said to be very important for the child's physical and mental development and I wanted to describe it to foreigners. I got certified as a dietary education instructor during maternity leave. After that I continued to study cooking, and in 2018, I career change to a cook. I am working as a chef in a Japanese restaurant in Tokyo. Now, I have cooking classes for foreign moms and babies and Character Lunch Box Making class while continuing the cooking work. I hope to see you in my classes. Let's cooking the fun way!
