Cooking Class - Sushi Workshop and East Asian Fare

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

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.

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.
