Course Overview

When it comes to traditional sushi that is made with raw sushi grade fish such as salmon or tuna opinions tend to be pretty divided—people are usually either a very strong “yes”, or an equally strong “no”. Enter California Roll: the friendly gateway “Sushi” that has converted countless skeptics to enthusiastic fans!

In this fun, interactive cook-along experience, Tess will guide you through the process of making a variety of California rolls that just might have you wondering why you have never tired making them yourself before! California roll combinations are only limited by your imagination!Make them vegetarian or with seafood, with or without seaweed, spicy or mild—it’s all up to you and your creativity.

Learn the essentials of preparing seasoned sushi rice, whipping up flavorful spicy mayo, and wrapping, rolling, and shopping your sushi with a range of tasty fillings including a crab salad we will be making with crabsticks. To top it all off, Tess will share simple yet impressive plating and presentation ideas to make your rolls look as good as they taste!

It helps to build peoples’ confidence in the kitchen knowing they have created something unique and delicious all on their own. They then can use the recipes provided as a guide. This way of teaching also allows for a greater focus on the task at hand.
