Dining with the Chef (2012) : 7x25

In this two-part special, our host Yu Hayami is off to visit the cities of Aizuwakamatsu and Iwaki, in Fukushima Prefecture, and she’ll be sharing the joys of Fukushima’s food with us. In this second episode, we'll be heading to Iwaki City, which was severely damaged by 2011's Great East Japan Earthquake. In Iwaki City, we’ll be visiting some of the people working on new efforts to help Fukushima recover. We’ll be making pot-au-feu stew as a collaboration between our Chef and the farmers who survived the disaster, using locally grown ingredients like taro root and daikon radish. Finally, dessert will be crème brûlée, made with apples grown here in Fukushima. We hope you'll also try making these delicious recipes!
