Easy cooking for men

I qualified at Cordon Bleu cooking school in Tokyo in 1998. I wanted to learn to cook because being single I was always eating the same food, and I also wanted to entertain sometimes.

I have devised a few methods that make cooking easy and nutritious for men, whether Japanese or foreigners. I use them all the time!

This course is the result of my teaching Spiritual Development to about 60 adults in Tokyo.

Theology for the Perplexed

I have studied theology for over 20 years, in the search for common teachings that could help me in my own quest for meaning in life.
