We had the amazing opportunity to work with director Nicole Ackermann to produce the new Dell “Recipes” with Merman.It started from the creative process with Airi working as dramaturg with Nicole on the Japanese traditional home-cooked meal recipes as well as the cultural context behind the heart-warming story. We recommend everyone to try the curry recipe, it’s delicious!
