I was so happy to see cookbook author Nancy Singleton Hachisu and her husband, Tadaaki, an organic egg farmer, profiled on The Selby yesterday. Nancy and Tadaaki's farm is located in rural Japan; last fall, Nancy authored a cookbook, Japanese Farm Food, based on the fresh and flavorful foods they enjoy there. (Around the time of the book's release, I had the pleasure of attending a dinner in Nancy's honor at one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants, Diner. I was blown away by the food, all of which was made using her recipes, and now treasure my copy of the cookbook.)
Did I mention that Nancy teaches cooking classes and runs an English-immersion preschool on the farm, as well? Feast your eyes, below. (And see the rest on The Selby, here.)
Have a warm and wonderful Tuesday!
PS: I'm guest-pinning all this week for online art gallery Ugallery. I'll be pinning different categories of art each day til the 14th, so please be sure to check back often - thank you to Ugallery for having me!

Wow! I'd like to be a pre-schooler all over again if that means I can go their school!
