Take a Free Japanese Cooking Masterclass with SingleThread's Kyle Connaughton

As part of the three-day 50 Best Recovery Summit, from 13-15 October, World's 50 Best are hosting three free online Masterclasses, showcasing the skills and knowledge of some of the world's leading talents in food, wine and mixology.

The summit kicked off with Food Meets Hope by S.Pellegrino, a series of talks with top chefs and culinary professionals, aimed at addressing the challenges facing the restaurant industry, under the key themes of recovery, inclusivity and evolution.

Now you can learn to cook like a pro with the first masterclass host: two-Michelin-starred chef Kyle Connaughton from SingleThread farm-restaurant in Healdsburg, California.

For this 50 Best Masterclass, Connaughton walks you through how to cook two authentic Japanese dishes at home, in a really approachable and accessible way:

• Black cod marinated in shio koji 
• Truffled rice porridge 

Cook along with Connaughton in the video below and learn how to make two incredible home-cooked Japanese dishes that'll blow you away.

It's a great introduction to Japanese culinary techniques and ingredients, as Connaughton shares his wealth of knowledge, from how to make dashi - the foundation of Japanese cuisine - and understanding optimum temperatures, to how to extract glutamate from dried kombu, the most 'umami' ingredient in the world.
