Cooking Class: Japanese Fusion
Join this Asian cooking class centered on the art and precision of modern Japanese fusion cuisine.
With Chef Dwayne as your guide, you’ll learn how a few smart techniques can turn simple ingredients into restaurant-worthy dishes. Start with yuzu-soy salmon crudo finished with scallions for a fresh, citrusy bite. Then, sharpen your knife skills and explore balanced seasoning as you prepare crisp sesame snap peas and miso-ginger chicken glazed until rich, savory and deeply flavorful. For dessert, you’ll make a creamy matcha coconut panna cotta that’s smooth, earthy and just sweet enough. Book your spot today!
