A renowned chef-instructor, Hiroko twice a year teaches an intensive, hands-on one-week basic Japanese cooking course, Essentials of Japanese Cuisine, at the International Culinary Center in New York City.  Hiroko has also worked with numerous avocational cooking schools across the country and Europe.

Her most-recent restaurant consulting project was to create an authentic Japanese curry restaurant, Kare-ken, in San Francisco, and the temaki hand-roll restaurant in New York City.  Chef Shimbo is also currently working with Zojirushi America, JETRO (Japanese Government Organization), Bon Appetit and Saveur; earlier projects include New York Mutual Trading Company, PF Chang's China Bistro, True World Food, UMass Dining, Unilever and Ruth's Chris Steak House.

She’s a frequent chef guest at The World of Flavors Conference at the Culinary 
Institute of America in Greystone, CA, and has written three award-winning cookbooks:  “The Japanese Kitchen” and “The Sushi Experience” are considered primers on Japanese cuisine and continue to attract professional chefs and home cooks.  

Her most recent book, “Hiroko's American Kitchen: Cooking with Japanese Flavors” recently won the IACP Cookbook Award 2013 under American Category.  “Hiroko's American Kitchen” offers an entirely new perspective on 
Japanese cooking:  Rather than teaching how to cook authentic Japanese cuisine, she focuses instead on integrating Japanese flavors, cooking techniques and staples onto the North American table – as will her classes at The Cook’s Warehouse. 

Hiroko is a member of International Association of Culinary Professionals and Les Dames d'Escoffier New York chapter.

The Cook’s Warehouse (www.cookswarehouse.com) is greater Atlanta’s premier gourmet cookware store and cooking school with four stores in the Midtown, Decatur and Brookhaven areas in the city and the East Cobb County area of the suburbs.  It offers more than 15,000 products for the kitchen and operates the largest avocational cooking school in the Southeast conducting more than 800 classes yearly, often taught by local chefs, and has a large web-based delivery-by-post site.

Owned and operated by founder Mary S. Moore, The Cook’s Warehouse also retails high-end appliances; conducts private cooking classes for unique celebrations and corporate events, and is a pro bono partner with virtually every major cooking event and gourmet association in Atlanta. 

The Cook’s Warehouse is truly “Every Excuse to Cook.”
