Last Saturday, there was the first "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day" in Santa Monica. As a healthy Japanese & donabe cooking ambassador, I had an honor to participate in this inaugural event!


It was held at Pico/ Cloverfield Farmer's Market in Santa Monica.


Many people stopped by at our Food Revolution booth.


Marina and at the booth. Marina is a talented private chef and she created beautiful dishes.



I demonstrated cooking a donabe rice dish by using the authentic Iga-yaki double-lid donabe rice cooker, "Kamado-san". The menu was healthy brown rice onigiri (rice balls) with Japanese-style yuzu-kosho pesto! It's a perfect picnic food for the coming summer season.

I had a great time at the event, and I am thankful to the organizers who worked so hard to make this successful event and for letting me part of it!
Happy healthy donabe life.
