Cooking Class: Sushi Making With Chef Delna
Learn the time-honored technique to make two types of sushi by hand in this cooking class with Chef Delna.
Begin by prepping your ingredients. You’ll practice knife skills by chopping fresh vegetables and mango, while the roasted bell peppers and mushrooms for the plant-based salmon and unagi will be pre-prepared. Chef Delna will provide seasoned sushi rice and walk you through how to make it at home. Then, roll up nori maki with spicy plant-based tuna and try hand-pressing rice for nigirizushi. Top your creations with sesame seeds and a touch of Japanese mayo before slicing them to enjoy. Book your spot today!

This was my fourth cooking class with access, and I have found them all to be transporting to a kitchen far from here, as the instructor is phenomenal at incorporating her personal and cultural experiences of cooking into the lessons!

Thanks again for the class last week! I had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed learning from you. I ended up making the chicken tikka masala last weekend and my 8-year-old daughter absolutely loved it!
