The final cooking demo of 2025 featured two comforting Japanese recipes—Simmered Kabocha and Spinach Ohitashi. Warm, balanced, and seasonally inspired, these dishes closed the year with the beauty and simplicity of Japanese home cooking.

#1 Chilled Cucumber with Miso-Sesame: Crisp rangiri-cut cucumbers served with a chilled miso-sesame dip for a light, interactive twist on Japanese recipes. #2 Chilled Daikon Salad w/ Yuzu-Dashi: Julienned daikon and cherry tomatoes in a pale yuzu-dashi dressing, topped with bonito flakes—refreshing, citrusy, and umami-rich.
