Cambridge Cooks invites Nagisa Ikemura of Nagomi Bento to teach patrons the delicate art of bento, a home-cooked lunch central to Japanese home and cultural life for centuries.
Cambridge Cooks invites local chefs for a free cooking demonstration, followed by a tasting and Q&A with the chef.
About the chef:
Nagisa's bento journey began in middle school as a competitive athlete in Japan. She learned to make healthy, nutritious meals that kept her in shape and sparked my passion for cooking. She knew from this young age that she wanted to be a chef, and kept at it even after sports had ended! A few things popped up along the way: school, moving to America, and becoming a senior tax accountant for a Big Four accounting firm. Nagisa knows firsthand the joy that thoughtful bento makes in her everyday life and for her family and friends. It is her honor and pleasure to provide this moment of comfort, expression of care, and the feeling of nagomi!
