The Kibo Ktichen: Cooking Class with Elizabeth Andoh

Elizabeth Andoh returns to 18 Reasons to celebrate her forthcoming and very special e-original book: KIBŌ Brimming with Hope: Recipes & Stories from Japan's Tohoku. This is her culinary tribute to the Tohoku region that was devastated by earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident on March 11, 2011.

The KIBŌ Kitchen is a 3-hour, cooking workshop that introduces us to the local flavors of Japan's northeast, the Tohoku. During the class, Elizabeth will combine and integrate Tohoku specialties with basic washoku principles (Japan's indigenous food culture) and the no-waste approach of kansha (appreciation) to teach participants how to prepare:

Kelp and Dried Shiitaké Stock
Straw-Wrapped, Brine-Simmered Tōfu
Celebration Hot Pot with Straw-Wrapped, Brine-Simmered Tōfu
Rice Taffy Dumplings with Crushed Édamamé

Note: Elizabeth as prepared a vegan menu to accommodate those who have chosen a plant-based diet.

Tickets
18 Reasons Members: $50
