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.

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…

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…

Panda Shiratama Anmitsu

“An” means bean paste, “mitsu” means syrup. To me, Anmitsu is an epitome of sugary treats with a side of nostalgia. I remember those summer days in Tokyo where I got in line at a cafe with my mother. Whenver we order an anmitsu together, she would always order hers with ice-cream, and I would always…

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…

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,…

Rilakkuma Burger

For the past couple of years, I’ve been on a quest for making the perfect veggie burgers. It’s been a quite mission to create the burgers that have everything that we need. But I think I’m finally comfortable enough to announce to the world that I’ve reached my goal today. My veggie burgers have finally hit my high…

Choco-Banana Rilakkuma Toast

This week I purchased a western food called “Nutella” for the first time in my life. I’m aware that Nutella is a wildly common food throughout the US and Europe, but not in Japan. I lived in the states for seven years, yet I promised myself never to lose my Bushido (the way of a samurai)…

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…

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…
