Cute and delicious food art
Hi, I'm Yuki. I make cartoon-like food art to express my love for healthy eating.
Natural ingredients only
There's no need to use chemicals to dye your food. Nature is your ingredients.
Vegan and Vegetarian
What you see on Yukitchen doesn't contain any meat products.
Except, you know, Jabba the Hutt.
Childhood into a dish
My food art is inspired by my inner child.
Cooking is a place for me to express my regression, with a table spoon of nostalgia.
Vegan Ramen With a Global Warming Polar Bear
Finding ramen without meat isn’t really an easy search. But it’s always easy to wonder if you can improvise the taste of ramen using plant-based items. I make a lot of vegan and vegetarian recipes here on Yukitchen, but making the world vegan is not my mission here. That would be supremacy, and no supremacy…
Chewbacca Hummus
When I first saw Star Wars, I didn’t really understand it. I was around 9, keeping myself busy with learning how to write my name in Kanji, so I figured I was just too little to understand it. A decade later, I watched it again with a grown-up mind, and I remember I loved it,…
Cactuar Lasagna with Sweet Potatoes
As a “healthy” food creator, I’ve long noticed that there is a peculiar trend going on about being “vegan”. This Lasagna I made is vegan, but the vegan part is not really important for me. Nowadays being vegan is often perceived as a status rather than a choice, and I’m failing miserably catching up with…
Panda Chia Pudding
Flaxseeds and chia seeds. Protein, fiber, and omega 3. There are so many recipes and articles about the so-called “superfoods”, and I’m afraid I became one of them who would soak oats and seeds overnight with my crazy dimples. It makes me so happy when I make this rejuvenatingly delicious breakfast. The trend of the…
How to make Coffee Amazake
What is “Amazake”? Amazake (甘酒) is a traditional sweet, low or non-alcohol Japanese drink made from fermented rice. We’ve been drinking this thing for more than 2000 years to date, according to my Wikipedia search. You see, I love amazake. It’s my go-to winter drink, ever since I was little. Since there was almost no alcohol, I felt…
Domo-kun Christmas Pudding
When a Japanese girl keeps making Christmas pudding every month, she eventually wonders if she could break the British tradition and make it more Japan. It was a fine morning in early April when I was making my 4th Christmas Pudding in Bangkok, an idea popped up in my mind. “I think I could just ditch…
Jabba The Pie
When people tell you who they are, Maya Angelou famously said, believe them. However, when people try to tell you who you are, don’t believe them. But when they keep calling you “cutie pie” even though you don’t really know them, forget Maya and believe nothing but your own pie. You see, life is like…
Yubaba Miso Soup
This is Yubaba, from the film Spirited Away. She looks so scary to me; her head is bigger than a screen! But what I found scarier than her physical appearance is her magical skill of stealing people’s names, or I should say, stealing their identities. To me, she represents a modern corporation. When you work in…
No Sugar Banana Bread
So far, my banana bread is my number-one requested food in real life. My people really like this, so I keep baking and baking the same thing; because I love validations. I think we all need them sometimes. My banana bread is probably tasty beacsue; One, no added sugar — If you use 4 ripe bananas, you really…
Nigaoe(Caricature) Cookies
“Nigaoe(似顔絵)”(ni-gah-oh-eh) is a caricature. It’s a portrait realistically drawn by capturing or deforming the appearance and characteristics of a person. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved drawing nigaoe. I find people’s faces fascinating. It’s the wrinkles, the freckles, and the idiosyncrasies on their faces that I find them so beautiful. And the…
