History:
Sonoko Saikai is a Japanese-American chef, cooking teacher and food writer with several cookbooks to her name including, The Poetical Pursuit of Food: Japanese Recipes for American Cooks, Rice Craft, and the award-winning Japanese Home Cooking: Simple Meals, Authentic Flavors. When she couldn't find any pre-packaged Japanese products in the market that were simply, healthy and environmentally conscious, Sonoko created her own line of home kits starting with her own curry spice. With a name that means "garden," Sonoko believes the cycle of cooking begins and ends in the garden and teaches with a philosophy based on freshness, seasonality, simplicity, beauty, and economy.
