We’ll cover as many as we can live and the Q&A will be recorded, so if you send your question in, we’ll make sure you get the answer! (either in the recording or directly from us).

If Thanksgiving has been sitting in the back of your mind, going, “Um… hi, remember me?”

This is for you. 😉

See you tonight at 5:00 pm!

With calm, flavor, and a game plan,

Yukari & Aric

Hi, I’m Yukari! My husband, Aric, a talented chef, and I are on a mission to bring people together through the magic of cooking. We want to build a virtual cooking community where we share budget-friendly meal prep tips, host fun challenges, and teach classes beyond recipes—we tell stories of love, life, and even the lessons we learn from our fur babies. Yes, our Bernese Mountain Dog, Senna, the Dish Pit Pup, and our Ginger cat, Ka-En, the Sous Chef Kitten, are part of the journey too! We believe food is more than just fuel—it’s about connection, culture, and creativity. If you enjoy heartwarming stories, engaging Q&As, and cooking made simple, we’d love to have you in our community.🔪🍲 Join us to cook, laugh, and share the love—one meal at a time.
