Japanese Cooking Classes - Easy Japanese Meals

I'm really looking forward to the year ahead. I'll be traveling around the country giving Japanese cooking demonstrations at food festivals and events so keep an eye on my blog, facebook page and twitter account to get regular updates. 

I'm continuing my Japanese cooking classes in Miele Gallery in Citywest Dublin this year. My scheduled demonstrations will focus on "Easy Japanese Meals". These demonstrations will give you the knowledge and confidence to try Japanese cooking at home. The demos start at 6:30pm and cost €25 per person. You can book a place on www.mielegallery.ie or you can book directly with me by emailing fionasjapanesecooking@gmail.com.

If the scheduled demonstrations are not suitable for you or you'd prefer a more hands on class tailored for a group then I also provide Japanese home cooking and sushi making classes for personal groups or corporate team building events. For enquiries or booking please e-mail fionasjapanesecooking@gmail.com.

My Japanese cooking & sushi class - part II

Last Saturday I welcomed another group of friends from the Irish Food Blogging Community into my home to teach them the basics of Japanese cooking and sushi making.

Fiona Dillon from Hunters Lodge Living arrived a little early to interview me for her radio show "The Food Files" which airs every Friday on CRKC88.7fm. If you'd like to hear the interview it'll be aired this Friday August 30th between 5 and 6pm.

 

Kristin from Edible Ireland and co-founder of The Irish Food Bloggers Association arrived next giving me a chance to listen to her thoughts on Japanese food and the wonderful health benefits of the Japanese diet. 

 

Lily from A Mexican Cook and Kate from The Wild Flour Bakery came straight from their stalls at the H2G market in Glasnevin (Dublin) and Nessa from Nessa's Family Kitchen came after her cooking demo in Glenisk's pop-up store on Dawson Street to join the class.

 

 

Before we started sushi rolling, we sat down and enjoyed an informal Japanese style tea ceremony using matcha (green powder tea) and chatted about everything Japanese from Lily's experience at a formal Japanese tea ceremony while she lived in Japan to Kate's adventures with matcha in her baking at The Wild Flour Bakery.

 

I had so much fun holding these Japanese classes for the Irish Food Blogging Community. I want to thank everyone who attended for making it such a great success.

My Japanese cooking & sushi class

Since I started my blog in early 2012 I've met a wonderful circle of friends in the Irish Food Blogging Community. Last Sunday, I held a class in my home to teach them the basics of Japanese home cooking and sushi making.

Here's a picture of Marian from herbicarni.com making a cup of matcha tea using matcha powder and a bamboo whisk.

 



During the class the group practised rolling different types of sushi. We prepared gluten free and vegan ingredients for Marian from herbicarni.com.

Once we were finished sushi rolling we sat down to enjoy a home cooked authentic Japanese meal. We also had miso soup made from homemade fish stock (dashi) that we made during the class and some lotus root pickle that I had in the fridge.

My next cooking class which is on August 24th is fully booked but if you're interested in attending one of my cooking classes or to check when the next one is available please email me on fionasjapanesecooking@gmail.com

I want to say a special thanks to the Asia Market in Dublin who provided goodie bags to support my cooking class.
