About

Hey there! I'm Chermagne, a big food enthusiast and the creator of Airashī Kitchen. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for checking out my website and all the things it has to offer. Let me give you a little insight into who I am and what this page is all about.

To start off, I'm a British-Filipino who grew up surrounded by mouthwatering homemade dishes. Every meal was a chance to show love and care for the people around you, by sharing and enjoying delicious food together.

As I entered the working world, I noticed how many dreaded lunchtime. Working professionals often settled for meal deals and unhealthy snacks, struggling to find affordable, nutritious, and tasty meals. Busy lifestyles meant little time for preparing lunches good enough to keep everyone going until dinner.

In Filipino culture there's a strong emphasis on togetherness - taking care of your community and providing for everyone. I thought maybe I could lend a hand and share my love for food and passion for health, just like my family did for me and others as I was growing up.

On top of that, I've always been a fan of anime, which introduced me to Japanese culture and expanded my culinary horizons to different cuisines. When I had the chance to visit Japan in 2023, I was captivated by the meticulous care and pride they put into presenting food, especially with bento boxes. The food was not only visually stunning but also packed with amazing flavors and nutrition.

With these values at heart, I felt a strong urge to take care of those around me through the love of good food, broadening my recipes to other cultural cuisines across the world. With my passion for sharing a diverse range of homemade, harmoniously balanced, and absolutely delicious recipes, Airashī Kitchen was born. Why the name Airashī, you might ask? This simply means lovable! Which expresses my ultimate goal:

to provide everyone with meals, infused with love and care.
