Sushi has a rich, deep history. The concept is hundreds of years old, taking advantage of natural resources from its home region of Japan and providing a fix for those who wanted to preserve their supper without refrigeration. To Americans, however, sushi is a new, mysterious thing- becoming popular on the West Coast in the early 1950s, and going from the shores of the Pacific to the shores of the Great Lakes as few as thirty years ago. With any new cuisine comes mystery, and we’re here to delve into the mysteries of sushi- its terminology, the differences between Japanese and American style sushi, how to make great sushi rice and how to form maki, or rolls, in the comfort of your very own home. Each participant will have the opportunity to learn the maki method, then dive in and choose their own fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood to create three maki rolls.

Cheese has been called “the art of spoiling milk” and it is an art form indeed. The diversity that can be coaxed out of a relatively small pool of ingredients (milk, cream, a coagulant and salt) is amazing, and the production of many cheeses require special environments, special cultures and expensive special equipment- not to mention months or years of aging. If you lent your cheese-aging cave or ripening rack to your neighbor, you’ll be happy to hear that there are many fresh cheeses that can easily be made in the average kitchenwithout a degree in bacteriology. In this class, we’ll focus on young, Italian cow’s milk cheeses, some of the most beloved and versatile cheeses in the kitchen. We’ll spin mozzarella curd into homemade burrata (a rich mix of cream and curd enveloped by fresh pulled mozzarella), fresh mozzarella and ricotta, and how to use your fresh cheeses in satisfying summer dishes. This class is hands on and vegetarian friendly, with gluten free options upon request. Come hungry!

Many of us turn to pasta when hunger is growing and time is shrinking- it’s quick cooking and an easy, satisfying dinner, but can be tricky for the glutenfree diner. In Western cooking, 90% of noodles are made of one thing: wheat. While many delicious replacements are available, there is another path to take for delicious gluten-free pasta lunches or dinners. In Asian cuisine, however, noodles and other products are made from many things, including potato, sweet potato, rice, buckwheat and tapioca starch. This opens up a lot of possibilities for the gluten-free diner, with many options for the gluten-free dairy free diner as well. The key is learning how to cook each of these different types of noodles and which noodles work best for what type of dish. Dive into three different dishes centered around flavorful ingredients that are naturally gluten free, learn the places gluten may hide when cooking with Asian ingredients, and how to stock your pantry for hearty quick meals any night of the week. You’ll also have an opportunity to learn how to roll your own spring rolls! This class is gluten free with vegan and vegetarian options upon request, and hands on opportunities as desired.
