The Midori Chef

Sushi‑making birthday party in full swing! Rolling, laughing, trying new things, cheering each other on. The whole vibe was just so sweet.

We made cucumber rolls, avocado rolls, and a few “creative” inventions that were honestly the stars of the table. Nothing better than watching kids feel proud of something they made with their own hands.

I host these classes right in your home — ingredients, setup, cleanup, all taken care of — so you can actually enjoy the moment. Perfect for birthdays, after‑school hangs, or a fun weekend activity with friends.

Brooklyn families, if you’re dreaming up something hands‑on and screen‑free, I’d love to cook with you.

🎃🍏 The recent PS 282 Fall Festival was a blast! Over 100 kids stopped by to make monster apples—complete with silly eyes, sunflower butter, marshmallows, and all kinds of fun toppings. The creativity was off the charts, and the costumes? Absolutely epic.

Huge thanks to the team for inviting me to be part of the fun!

🌺 Tiki Time at PS282 earlier this month was a tropical blast! 🌞

Over 85 families came out to celebrate the end of the school year together, and the vibes were sweeter than a fruit kebab 🍍🍉🍓

I had the joy of hosting a DIY tropical kebab table—and watching the kids get creative with pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries, and strawberries was the cherry on top 💫

So great seeing all the familiar faces and sharing in the fun 🏝️ thank you for having me!

🎉 Birthday Bash with a Culinary Twist! 🥟🍜

Recently I had the absolute joy of hosting a birthday cooking class for ten enthusiastic 11-12 year-old boys! 🎂👨‍🍳 Together, we rolled up our sleeves (and some delicious gyoza) while learning how to whip up a mouthwatering noodle stir fry.
