Japanese Vegetarian Cooking

Japanese cuisine is a delicate blend of flavors, with the season often reflected in the ingredients.

Tofu plays a key role in much of Japanese food, and it takes center stage in this class devoted to Japan’s vegetarian side.

Students watch as instructor Hema Parekh shows how to prepare eight of her favorite Japanese dishes from her cookbook The Asian Vegan Kitchen.

The group will then sit down to enjoy the freshly cooked dishes for lunch.

Please inform the instructor of any dietary restrictions.

Sample Menu

• Tofu teriyaki steak with shiitake mushrooms 
• Stir-fried burdock and carrot
• Spinach in a sesame dressing
• Braised potato and onion
