Kaiseki Workshop
Saturday, September 12, 2009, 1:00-3:30 p.m. - CANCELLED
Instructors: Kimika Soko Takechi and Larry Sokyo Tiscornia
Kaiseki ryori, seasonal Japanese cuisine served during the traditional Chanoyu (tea ceremony) gathering, has its roots in the simple seasonal vegetarian cuisine served in the Zen temple.
Kaiseki cuisine uses fresh seasonal ingredients, simple seasonings and cooking techniques to create dishes that are beautiful to look at, tasty, and in harmony with the season. Strictly vegetarian in earlier times, kaiseki cooking has changed with modern tastes and customs and now often includes seafood, poultry and meat in its many dishes.
This late summer kaiseki workshop will feature 4 courses including edamame gohan, poached chilled prawns with dashi jelly, sakana no kuzutataki and sanshoku grilled peppers. Dashi soup stock will also be made using konbu (kelp) and katsuobushi (shaved dried bonito). The mukozuke (first course) will be chilled prawns with a home-made dashi jelly. The nimonowan (main course) will be  sakana no kuzutataki (fresh fish lightly dusted with kuzu [kudzu starch] and then poached). Sanshoku (3 colored) grilled peppers will be the azukebachi (side dish). The class will be mostly demonstration, with some hands-on arranging, and participants will be able to sample the dishes that are prepared. Easy to follow recipes will be provided.
Location: JCCCNC
Fees: $30 JCCCNC members/$35 non-members Workshop is limited to the first 20 paid and registered participants.
