During this team building activity, Chef Masa came from Tokyo Japan, and brings the unique cooking concept of meals; “Eat with eye”.

His intentions are to bring; the taste, flavor, healthy, and artful dishes to eat from ‘eye’. It means the excellent presentation on the plates and table is one of the key ingredients to make your meal ‘more’ delicious.

Japanese food presents its culture, passion, soul, history, and taste. It is becoming ever more popular in the US, as represented by ‘SUSHI’. It is one of the dishes that require very delicate techniques. Have you ever wanted to learn such a delicate technique? If you have ever been to Japan, you will know that there are many delicious foods besides ‘SUSHI’. Or you may already know something other than sushi and want to make it yourself. 

In this cooking course, you can learn

• Modern Japanese
• Fusion
• Sushi and Rolls include American style

Of course, he shows how to eat Japanese food and culture from food history.

Eating healthy can be delicious and fun! In this class, Chef Peredina strives to show groups that they can create dishes that are heart-healthy yet still absolutely delicious! Working from the ground up, teams join together to create a main course and a side dish completely from scratch that is both satisfying and good for the body!

Groups begin with creating a salad made from the ancient grain farro. Farro has many health benefits over other common starches such as rice and potatoes, and it is easy to work with and absolutely delicious! Teams begin by cooking the farro in water until it is softened, after which it is combined with fresh tomatoes and various herbs to create the perfect beginning to a healthy meal!
Instead of using pasta, the main course involves zucchini noodles which the groups will form as a team. These zucchini noodles pack just as much flavor as their carbohydrate-heavy counterparts, and supply a double dose of nutrition as well! Once the noodles are created, Chef Peredina will show everyone how to create a flavorful avocado pesto accompanied by fresh sautéed shrimp for a dish that will make you understand how delicious healthy eating can be!
