今日、栗原はるみ先生が家に来た。オラはNHK 国際の番組「Your Japanese Kitchen」を撮るため、先生のところで何十回もお世話になっているけど、今日、特別企画で、その番組をオラの家で撮った。いつものスタッフの皆さんなのに、なんだか緊張した〜。特に緊張したのは女房かも。
The “charismatic housewife” Ms. Harumi Kurihara, known as the “Martha Stewart of Japan” came to my place today. She has published quite a number of very popular cook books in several languages. She and I (and the very talented George Williams, of course) work together on the program called “Your Japanese Kitchen” on the NHK International Channel.
Usually, we shoot this program at her home/studio, but today we tried something different and shot the program at my apartment. I was a bit nervous even though I already knew all of the people involved. (You never know when they might discover the odd cobweb you missed.)
だって、栗原先生は、料理研究家で有名だもん。女房は自分の料理テクニックに先生がなんか文句付けるなのかな〜って心配していたみたい。無意識でも。
でも、心配する事はなかった。先生はテレビに出る時と変わらない、そのまんまの人間じゃ。冗談言ったり、やさしく教えたりする。女房がリラックスしてはるみ先生と楽しく料理の話しとか(オラに対しての不満話しとか)出来た。
I think maybe my wife was more nervous than I was. I mean, gosh, Ms. Kurihara is -like- the biggest star in the cooking world over here in Japan. What if she spots something mistaken about the way my wife cooked?
What if my wife cuts the vegetables at a 47 degree angle rather than a 42 degree angle?
Egads! We’d NEVER live that down.
