"Emi was a most pleasant and supportive host. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and learning how to make these delicious little parcels of goodness. Her teaching was excellent and I was able to practice again the next day with excellent results. Emi is keen to share her knowledge and culture and it was wonderful to work with her. Thank you Emi."

"Emi was the perfect host. Informative, friendly, a good communicator, and patient with fat-fingered gyoza novices like us :) We thoroughly enjoyed our culinary journey, and highly recommend the course."

"Emi was a fantastic host. She showed us how to make gyoza/dumplings and a delicious vegetable dish. I have always had trouble making dumplings (even when I've done in-person classes), but Emi's way worked for me and my gyoza looked professional! They were also delicious. It was an enjoyable class and I highly recommend it! A great cultural and culinary experience from your own kitchen."
