Dish is a cooking class in Kakegawa City that teaches the joy of cooking Italian home-style dishes and sweets, using familiar ingredients and recipes that are easy to make at home.
After graduating from college, Dish instructor Tomoyo Horii became a registered dietitian and has worked in hospitals and institutions, providing cooking and individual nutritional care.
Later, after working for a major cooking school, I wanted to learn more about cooking knowledge and techniques, so I went to Tuscany, Italy, to study Italian home cooking and earned a diploma.
After returning to Japan, he studied pastry making under Yuko Kumagai and started pastry and bread classes at his home.
In 2016, the restaurant reopened as "Dish" with a workshop and Italian home cooking and baking classes, which continues to this day.

A memorable experience in a cooking class
A student who was interested in baking sweets and suddenly took a lesson.
This led him to quit his job of more than 20 years and attend a confectionery school.
She is working as a pastry chef despite overcoming difficulties such as finding out about her illness before entering school and the coronary disaster.
It is a sobering feeling to be able to be a major catalyst, but when I see them come alive, I am reminded that handmade is truly wonderful.
Dish" about future dreams and projects
We do not have any major projects in mind, but we would like to create a larger space to accommodate as many of your requests as possible, as some of you may not be able to make reservations.
We would also like to publish a recipe book that is easy to make and understand at home.
We would like to create an environment where we can propose recipes as well as introduce ingredients to enrich people's lives through food.
