Cooking Class: Make Vibrant Vegan Sushi With Chef Paulo
If you love sushi (or just want a fun way to try something new), this vegan sushi-making class is the perfect pick.
You’ll start by learning how to make perfectly seasoned sushi rice, then practice your knife skills as you prep fresh plant-based fillings like avocado, cucumber, sweet potato and more. Once everything’s ready, you’ll learn how to build and roll your sushi like a pro, from classic maki to inside-out uramaki. By the end, you’ll be sitting down to a colorful spread of rolls you made completely by hand and you’ll leave with the skills to recreate vegan sushi anytime at home. Book your spot and get rolling!

Cooking with Paulo is hands down one of my favorite experiences to repeat. I’ve taken his sushi class a few times now, with adults, and even with kids, and it never disappoints. He is patient, knowledgeable, and so good at breaking things down in a way that feels simple and doable. I’ve learned a wide variety of rolls, the food is incredible, and the whole experience is fun, informative, and interactive. It’s the perfect mix of learning and enjoyment, and I always walk away feeling confident (and very full!).
