About this class
Join our most popular hands-on practical sushi making class with Sushi Made Simple cookbook author, Atsuko!
Atsuko will guide you through the art of the sushi making process, step-by-step, combining traditional techniques and new approaches. First of all you will learn how to cook classic premium white sushi rice, then make a variety of sushi including maki (hosomaki, California roll and temaki hand roll), and some kinds of nigiri. We have included aburi (blow torched) sushi which will take your sushi adventure to another level!
We start by introducing the ingredients, then have a cooking session, and finally we eat what we have made at the end of the class!
