The Gourmet Food and Wine Expo is a must attend event and has a special place in my heart. Writing about the expo was one of my first posts when I started my blog (read about my 2013 and 2015 GFWE experience). I remember telling Chef Roger Mooking that I was going to start a food blog, and he asked me a bunch of questions on what I would write about. At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure. Fast forward to today, I don’t just get to write about an awesome event, I get to be part of it.

On Friday November 18th, 2016 at 8:00pm, watch me cook ON STAGE where I will get step-by-step coaching by Chef Yoshimi who will be joining us LIVE FROM JAPAN, via Skype. Chef Yoshimi owns and teaches at one of the most popular cooking schools in Tokyo, Japan.

Together, we will be making authentic Japanese dishes. I can’t wait to connect with Chef Yoshimi for the first time, to cook, learn and to find out what we will be cooking.
