In most places in Japan it seems like life is slowly entering a new kind of normal now at the end of May. Schools and businesses are reopening with special social distancing measures in place, as well as the ubiquitous masks and hand sanitizer. It is tempting to get out and about now because the rainy season (or the second wave of Covid19) is just around the corner and we may once again be stuck at home looking for ways to keep busy and entertained. Luckily, the final installment of our AFWJ Articles series features a member’s daughter whose cooking Youtube channel and special zoom sessions have been a big hit with fellow AFWJers and their kids during the stay at home period. Her culinary prowess might just inspire you to try whipping up some new dishes in your own kitchen! AFWJ member Chriss MacPherson and her daughter Kiara were profiled by Louise George Kittaka in Savvy Tokyo and you can read all about how the young chef has turned her passion for cooking into a way to connect with others by clicking the link:
