My garden in winter |
Hi and welcome to "Miki's Garden to Kitchen". I'm Miki, a lady from Japan who loves gardening and cooking. After living with my American husband in Europe and Asia for many years, I finally settled down to his family homestead in a wilderness area called the Pennsylvania Wilds with my international family, my American husband, a black cat from Belgium and a Maine coon cat from Hong Kong.
While living in Europe, I establshed a gardening club and wrote about gardening and life style for a magazine, which become my second career after working in Japan doing industrial marketing and completing graduate school in Brussels for European Business. Meanwhile I traveled all over the world and experienced different styles of cooking-- from Michelin star restaurants to street hawker food-- with different kinds of ingredients, including local vegetables.
Now I have 75'X35' vegetable garden, protected by a 7' high electrified bear and deer fence, where I grow about 40 different vegetables so that I don't need to give up eating my favorite Asian vagetables in this rural area. Many of my vegetables originate from Asia and are commonly used in Asian cooking. I also grow Western vegetables and Asian cultivars of Western vegetables such as a cold tolelant Japanese cultivar of Western cabbage.
Wherever I am and whatever language people speak, I believe that a sense of 'good taste' can be shared across the world. I'd like to share information and knowledge across the internet. Thank you for visiting here.
