Cooking Class: Japanese Sushi From Scratch

Sushi and seaweed salad was great! I've done both before and was hoping to learn a little something new, and got to wrap a roll w/rice outside of nori, so that was good, but about the only new bit I got. Late start and slow progress for pretty basic instruction, due to only 4 stations for 16-ish people. So don't arrive hungry. Tables for everyone to sit and work at would be nice. Bar setting, so: noisy, TV in the background, and makeshift kitchen facilities not ideal.

I liked Chef Desiree. I don’t think the experience was up to par. First, the event started late; Second, people arrived late and I’m not actually sure if they were a part of the class or not; Third because of the mismanagement of time I didn’t make both my sushi rolls. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth, I will not be returning.

We ended up leaving after an hour of being there but not even touching the food. We would have preferred if we had our own stations rather than sharing with others, would have preferred instruction while preparing the food, and had a quieter environment to participate in the class. For the cost it was not worth it. Have two stars simple because the chef seemed nice, but we didn’t have any real interaction with her before leaving and expected more for the cost.

Great class with a demo then hands on to do it ourselves. One recommendation would be to have more than one bowl of water available for dipping your hands or to change out the water often so that it is clean. Other than that, I enjoyed the class more than I thought I was going to!! We got to eat our 2 rolls and they were tasty!

Angele

At first I was uncomfortable that she never asked about allergies, because I'm allergic to crab and shellfish...and I never had sushi and stay away from it. But once the class got started..it was easy to just avoid the crab and I actually made my own sushi! And it was delicious! I was surprised how delicious it was! The venue could be improved, as far as space, but Desiree did a good job and I think now we all can make sushi for a living! I think.

Best sushi sensei ever!

Jessica Gindlesperger

02 Jan 2020

The sushi parties are so much fun! I’ve always wanted to learn how to roll but had so many questions and no one to ask. Dez is very knowledgeable and teaches you everything from the proper way to shop for ingredients to the best way to cut the rolls. Everything is delicious and the environment is great for networking too. I now feel confident in making my own sushi at home, and even my seven year old has learned how to make her own too! -

Nuerzhati Nijiati

02 Jan 2020

The overall environment was very friendly! The entire kitchen was clean and neat and all sushi rolls were made in an open space so that we could see how sushi was made. It was an amazing dinner party! Dez is very friendly and funny person, she is extremely great at explaining things.

Courtney Goza

Dez rocks! Her sushi is top-notch and tastes amazing. She’s warm, friendly and fun. Her sushi parties are amazing and always a good time. Can’t wait for the next on.

Chris Garza

Dez’s sushi is amazing. Her rice is sweet and fluffy and the quality of her ingredients is what you would expect for high-end sushi. Her eye for detail and the aesthetics really brings the ingredients together in ways that make you ask the question “ is something that looks that tasty too pretty to eat?” Then answer is always no but it’s close. The best part about it for me is the people. You get to be in the moment, in a relaxed environment with sushi talk as an ice breaker.or not even mentioned. It doesn’t matter because as good as the food is it is better getting to share it with people who make you happy.
