Mindful Eating & Seasonal Cooking Workshop & Communal Supper

Make nourishing Asian food using deep-local ingredients for a casual supper in a small group at a welcoming Zen Buddhist temple! Nov 18, Japanese rice with local mushrooms and vegetables (takikomi gohan) plus miso soup. Dec 16, Vegetarian gyoza (potstickers), a winter solstice and end-of-crazy-year celebration! At 5 pm, cook simple, nourishing, seasonal dishes with me, community farm chef Kori Kanayama, based on a regenerative farm in Grass Lake, Michigan. Workshops are energetic yet serene, appropriate for individuals, families, couples, and friends. At 6:30 pm, we enjoy the food we made, to relax over a communal meal. We cook in a large, spotless kitchen and bright dining area at the Triple Crane Retreat Center in Chelsea, MI. Please reserve your space through this event listing. This is an offering to build our connection through food, and I want everyone who wants to be able to participate. $40 covers my efforts, kitchen rental, and fair-labor, high-quality ingredient purchases, with a 6 person minimum. If the fee is a financial hardship, I offer one $15 ticket per date for full participation plus set up, clean up and take down assistance. Thank you for helping to build a culture of connection! I can't wait to cook and share real food with you.
