Kitchen Solo
Looking for healthy, largely measurement-free, quick meals, and manageable portions? You’re in the right place.
At Kitchen Solo I offer up advice on the best tools that will help you cook for one (or two!) in your home kitchen, as well as reflections on life and food culture in Japan… things like ingredients, prefectural specialties, kitchen experimentations, technique and more.
Pescatarian. Vegetarian. Vegan.
No meat. No waste.

Healthy, Easy Recipes Without Sacrificing Taste
Whether you’re eating your next meal standing over the sink, sitting at your computer, or lounging at the table, you want your food to taste amazing. You also want it to be hassle free. Me too. That’s why I created Kitchen Solo.
