Did you know?

* Most Japanese restaurants use lots of MSG in their cooking!
* These restaurants also don’t use traditional ingredients meaning the food loses taste AND nutrition!

But don’t worry! This class is MSG free and we will use only traditional, high-quality Japanese ingredients to make our food yummy and healthy.

You will follow traditional methods replicable at home, including essential Japanese seasonings, cooking techniques and a variety of yummy recipes.

Some examples from our Superfoods Gyoza class menu:

4 types of gyoza fillings
How to correctly fold and pleat gyoza
How to correctly cook gyoza
How to freeze gyoza
Two types of gyoza dipping sauce
Rice sandwich (onigirazu)
How to make seaweed salad w/ Japanese style dressing

*All classes served with alkaline water & Matcha green tea

It's definitely a nice class if you had no experience before with dumplings and gyozas.

I really enjoyed Yoshiko's communication style and her passion for alkaline way of eating. Her assistants were very friendly and supportive in how I need to cook. I really had a fun time with the participants and the crew. The meal was super delicious and very happy that it's plant based as I'm vegan. I'm definitely coming back again for another cooking class to dive deeper into Japanese healthy way of cooking

We loved the class with Yoshiko specially since my daughter who doesn’t like kale loved it! Highly recommend for those looking to learn the art of Japanese dumpling making in a light and relaxed environment. Yoshiko is knowledgeable and funny , she clearly has a passion for healthy cooking and passing on her skills to others. Would go back and do the other classes with her.

Yoshiko was engaging, and did so well to involve everyone. Had a great time!

Maybe clearly define what tables/teams cook which gyoza at the start to help with the flow of the class, but genuinely everything went fantastic

Luke Burlet • Jan 2021

Peta Denning • Mar 2019

The Superfood Gyoza Cooking workshop was fun and informative.

I couldn't believe that you could cook so many different dishes in such a short time.

When I looked at the ingredients I wasn't sure that they would have much taste but they all tasted great and were very filling.

Yoshiko is a great teacher and she had us all engaged in the class at all times.

I would recommend the class to anyone that wants to learn more about healthy Japanese cooking or would just like a great time.

Unique and fun outing for our large family. Everyone was kept busy and entertained. Yoshiko is an excellent teacher. Very happy with the feast we made.
