A unique "cooking class" that nurtures children's "independence" and "free thinking

Editor: Right off the bat, could you give us an overview of HAKUSINO RECIPE?

Takahashi: "HAKUSINO RECIPE" is a cooking school without recipes that you can learn at home from the age of three. In the future, technology will continue to advance, and education that only crams knowledge into children will not be able to compete. That's why we want to create a vibrant society where children can acquire the "vitality" to live with confidence. This is why it is important to "not inhibit curiosity," "respect individuality," "not teach the right answer," and "turn failure into learning. These are our "Four Principles of Education", and they are the guiding principles that our "Apron Sensei" (instructor of the cooking class "HAKUSINO RECIPE") follows when giving lessons.

HAKUSINO RECIPE" lessons start with selecting ingredients from your refrigerator at home. Then, together with the children, they come up with a menu of what kind of dish they can make, and finally, they name and present the finished dish. This lesson is characterized by Ms. Apron's ability to "talk to the children to get their opinions", "patiently interact with the children, which is difficult for parents to do", and "accept all the children's ideas".

For example, parents are always busy, so even if you're cooking with your child, you might get frustrated halfway through, "Oh my God, Mom's going to do it! For example, parents are very busy, so they may get frustrated when cooking with their children. However, Apron Sensei patiently lets the children do everything until the end. In addition, children are really original and often come up with ideas that adults would never think of, such as "I want to put prosciutto in the soup. As a parent or guardian, you might say, "That's not right! But Ms. Apron says, "Great, let's try it! But Mr. Apron says, "Great, let's try it! Another strength of our service is that we can teach how to tie an apron and how to serve food as part of "family education and manners".
