Initially, Jikoni was a kitchen studio space in Los Angeles used for shoots & production. Launching our community-based food site Jikoni.co was a goal further down the line, but in light of the current pandemic, this is a way to bring Jikoni to everyone (and vice versa) right now. As a Jikoni @patreon supporter you'll get:⁠
⁠
- early access to the recipe from our shows (which usually don't publish until the episodes air, which can be months after they've been created)⁠
- an exclusive Jikoni e-cookbook⁠
- a seasonal LIVE cooking class hosted by our test kitchen⁠

What's your go-to dish for slowing down and treating yourself?⁠⠀
