Japanese cuisine is healthy, flavorful and beautiful to behold. Debra brings years of experience living and cooking in Japan and the US to her students. Nothing is lost in translation. The recipes are from her forthcoming book My Japanese Table: A Lifetime of Cooking with Friends and Family<\/em><\/em> (Tuttle Publishing, Fall 2011)<\/span>. Each class includes one home-style sushi recipe plus three dishes.<\/p>\n

Here are some suggested menus, but it is easy to mix and match. Each includes fresh vegetable and miso dip appetizer, Japanese pickles, green tea or roasted barley tea(mugicha<\/em>) and seasonal fruit.<\/p>\n
