A person is holding a wooden spoon above a A white bowl with boiled rice and Japanese curry of vegetables and meat.

This version is a mild curry in the Japanese Style. Traditionally eaten in a bowl with a spoon, it is a Japanese adaption of western cuisine.  It is hearty, and our family often cook it as comfort food. The texture is a thicker curry, with a light sweetness, and as it is mild, it tends to be a favourite of children who do not like spicy curry. The recipe can be adapted to a slow cooker, to set and forget, adding the apple later, and the curry just before you finish cooking.

With a "grassy" taste, it is not to everyone's liking. If you enjoy the taste of matcha, this velvety panna cotta is simple to make, and you can glam it up with decoration as you wish.

A dish of sukiyaki simmers and cooks. In the pot are strips of beef, shitake mushrooms, greens, enoki mushrooms, tofu and broth.

In celebration of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, we are bringing a little Japan to you. Whilst you may immediately think of foods like sushi, and fish-based meals. This is something different. Sukiyaki originated after Japan opened its ports to trade with foreign merchants in the 1860s. These foreigners introduced new cooking styles and the use of meat in more mainstream foods. This dish simmers the meat and vegetables in a light sauce/ soup.
