In LA, a culinary event unfolds as Food Network Star Giada De Laurentiis and Michelin-star Chef Shinji Ishida collaborate for a Master Class Cooking Series on our site.
In the heart of Los Angeles, at 6801 Hollywood Blvd., you'll find the Japanese Food Lab's hub—a vibrant space that aims to nurture a deeper understanding and appreciation of Japan in the international community. Occupying two floors at Hollywood & Highland, this project by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan offers a place of new discovery that transcends physical and conceptual boundaries.
The latest offering from the Japanese Food Lab is a two-part summer cooking series, featuring none other than Chef Giada De Laurentiis and Chef Shinji Ishida. This collaborative cooking show brings together Giada's approachable style with Shinji's authentic culinary expertise, as they explore and create traditional and innovative Japanese summer dishes.
In the first episode, titled "Chirashi Sushi", Chef Ishida guides Giada through the process of making this vibrant, scattered sushi bowl filled with a variety of fresh fish, vegetables, and seasoned rice. The episode shares tips for achieving the perfect balance of flavors and presentation. If you're curious about this culinary journey, you can catch Episode 1 on Japanese Food Lab's official website or YouTube channel.
Chef Shinji Ishida hails from the Michelin-starred Tokyo restaurant Nogizaka Shin, and his mesmerizing handling of food has been compared by Chef Giada De Laurentiis to a dance. Giada has expressed admiration for the attention to detail and artistry in Japanese cuisine.
The series also delves into the role of fermentation in Japanese food and wellness. This essential part of Japanese culture is showcased through products like sake, tsukemono pickles, and natto. The Fermentation Master Class summer cooking series is a special event at the Japanese Food Lab's Los Angeles hub, collaborating with leading fermentation experts Takeo Koizumi and Makoto Kanauchi.
Stay tuned for Episode 2, titled "Pickled Vegetables and Miso Salmon", which will be launched later this month. The series promises to be a culinary adventure that combines the best of traditional Japanese cuisine with innovative twists.
