In their words

I cook in a small place in Kyoto with eight seats. I only host at weekends because the rest of my week belongs to the kitchen. People book me to talk about food, or about slowing down, and the two turn out to be the same conversation more often than not.

The question I like most

'What should I cook for someone I'm trying to impress?' The answer is always: something you've made forty times.

I asked for restaurant recommendations and ended up with a list of four neighbourhood places and a very gentle lecture about eating alone. Both were excellent.

Calmest half hour I have had in a long time. English is not perfect and it did not matter at all.
