自己紹介
得意な料理のジャンルと魅力を教えてください
My mission on KitchHike is to reveal the secrets of unique Lithuanian cuisine and to wake Japanese imagination about how wonderful is Lithuania. The country I came from is even smaller than Hokkaido, having less than 3 million inhabitants. However, we have our own language, authentic culture and, of course, cuisine. There are no Lithuanian restaurants in all Asia and only few Lithuanians are living in Japan. Probably, the only chance to explore Lithuanian cuisine in Japan is come at my place! :)
どんなHIKERさんに食べに来てもらいたいですか？
The ones that are eager for cultural exchange and not afraid of trying new things :)
今後は、どんな料理やワークショップを予定していますか？
Lithuanians are in love with potatoes! :) Therefore, I am going to show, how many different and interesting dishes could be prepared from them: many kinds of pancakes, cepelinai, kugelis and others. I am planning to introduce Lithuanian fragrant smoked meats, aged cheese "Dziugas", fine berries and apples vines "Voruta", different kinds of Lithuanian herbs. During the Easter time I am planning a special workshop for traditional Easter eggs colouring using ethnic techniques that I learned from my grandmothers. Can't wait for that!
料理や食を通して、達成したい夢や野望はありますか？
Yes! My biggest achievement would be arranging Cooking trips for Japanese to Lithuania. Why not visiting Lithuania together? :) I am dreaming about becoming a great guide for Japanese cooking students traveling to Lithuania: baking Lithuanian bread in the old village, picking mushrooms and berries in the wild forests, having Lithuanian BBQ by the lakeside, pressing cottage cheese, enjoying fresh veggies from my mothers garden and so on. :)
