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.
Super Mario’s Grain Salad
Humans have no superpowers. There are no superheroes. We all know that by now. But sometimes I’m skeptical, probably because there’s a part of me who is still in denial. Perhaps I was too young when I first watched “superheroes” on TV; it gave me an illusion of hope, that there must be someone with…
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…
Gluten Free! Domo kun Biscotti
Domo kun is underestimated in Japan. You see him everywhere outside of Japan but not so much in his homeland. One of the many reasons why Japanese should travel more is that they can find out how much our culture is affecting a lot of people outside of our country. I was shocked to see how many…
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…
Rilakkuma Inari
In 1967, John Lennon wrote a song called “All you need is love”. He also admitted hitting women, “any women”, he said, and abandoned one of his children. He was a diligent peace activist, and wrote many songs about love and peace. He explained, “This is why I am always about peace, you see. It’s…
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…
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…
Ohmu-Rice
Like most fans would say, “Nausiccaa(風の谷のナウシカ)” is my favorite film from Studio Ghibli. I constantly find beautiful fan artworks on the internet under #studioghibliart hush-tags, and that inspired me. Then I wondered what it would be like to create food art out of Nausiccaa. Surprisingly, the first thought that came to my mind was the “Ohmu”. The giant dark-green creature Ohmu….
