A dialogue with Sonoko Sakai, a cook, teacher, and writer based in California. Sonoko was born in New York to Japanese parents, and she grew up in San Francisco, Kamakura, Mexico City, and Tokyo, which contributed to her rich cultural upbringing that comes through in her cooking. We speak to Sonoko about her garden, why she believes you should cook every day, and her latest cookbook, Wafu Cooking. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
