Notes on Khilibe Taiko Kitchen
Cooking is simply very much like taiko for me, thus I need a taiko-kitchen
A kitchen can be a place

to experiment
to learn old recipes and honor ancestors to mix cultures
to be creative
to share and to be connected
to learn
to nurture others and yourself
to co-create
to have a lot of fun
