Cooking
Easy Healthy Japanese
Home Cooking
The traditional Japanese diet has been
described as not only healthy but also even
healing. Learn the wisdom of traditional
Japanese homemakers by preparing simple,
balanced meals. In each class, make a
meal that includes many vegetable dishes
prepared in a variety of healthful ways:
vinegared, dressed, and simmered, together
with rice, soup, fish or chicken dishes, and
a dessert if there is time. The menu rotates
with the seasons, allowing you to repeat the
class and expand your cooking repertoire.
All classes feature lots of vegetable dishes,
but note dates where classes are entirely
vegetarian or contain some fish preparation
or seasonings.

Korean Cooking Made Easy
Jay Leno made fun of it on the Tonight
Show, but Korean food is showing up on
menus everywhere as American diners
embrace the combination of sweet, salty,
sour, acidic, and spicy flavors. Now you
can take some the authentic tastes of
Korea home with you. Prepare dumplings
and scallion pancakes, barbeque a bulgogi
entrée (marinated thinly sliced ribeye)
with rice, and make a quick simple kim
chi, the classic Korean pickled side dish.
Use ingredients from your local grocer
or enhance the flavors with some key
ingredients from local Asian markets.
The class uses easy to follow recipes and
handouts include shopping tips for local
grocers to source ingredients. The instructor
will also show you how to easily turn these
recipes into fusion (Kalbi tacos made
famous by Korilla and Kogi food trucks in
NY and LA).

Knife Skills
Tips, Tricks, & Techniques Used by
Professional Chefs
Beginning and experienced home cooks
can save time in the kitchen, while working
safely with confidence. Start by learning
how to select the right knife for you and
the task. Move on to proper knife handling
techniques, safety tips, proper knife care,
sharpening, and storage. Students will learn
to slice, dice, fine dice/brunoise, chop,
mince, julienne, stick/batonette, and fine
shred/chiffonade, and make a recipe in
class that uses many of those techniques.
If you have a good chef knife bring it to
class, as each one is as individual as you
are, and bring a cutting board if you have
one.
