What You’ll Do

Learn to prepare sushi and other East Asian-inspired dishes with the help of Chef Jalen.

In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Jalen, you'll prepare a menu of sushi and other Asian-inspired dishes, along with a slew of culinary tips. This instructional class is great for sushi-making beginners, as well as more experienced home cooks.

Begin with better-than-take-out fried rice with shrimp, chicken and vegetables. Then, move on to the sushi-making workshop, learning how to prep and roll sushi like a pro. After the sushi, cook up chicken skewers to pair with a sweet and spicy marinade. For dessert, enjoy Japanese-style donuts loaded with cinnamon sugar, caramel and chocolate.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

All I can say is WOW!! Chef Jalen was amazing! The food was so good (better than any restaurant I ever have eaten at). He was very knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and kind. We definitely will be doing this again. Thank you so much! Sharon Dillard

We absolutely loved cooking with Chef Jalen! He was so kind and such an excellent cook. We told him ahead of time that some of us were gluten free and he went above and beyond to accommodate us! I honestly was not expecting for him to adapt every aspect of the meal, but he did and I was able to eat it all! It meant so much to me. We had great conversation and made delicious food. It was so fun! Would highly recommend taking a cooking class from Chef Jalen in the future.

Great food. Loved Jalen. He did a great job explaining how to cook the meal and answering all of our random questions . It wasnвЂ™t very hands on, but depending on what you are looking for this could be a good or bad thing.

Mediterranean meal was delicious. Definitely making some of the hummus at home. Was able to learn a lot of tips and tricks,from simple things like cooking rice to more complex things like cutting techniques.
