LEVEL I CLASS: Making Makimonos
This is an irreverent and fun sushi-making class, one that requires good hand-head-heart co-ordination. It begins with a subversive history of sushi and Japanese culture to offer context. Then it becomes a hands-on activity, meant to draw out the Inner Sushi Chef in you. Make your sushi (four-five makimonos); take photos to send to your friends and family to prove your culinary genius; eat, drink and just be merry. It’s easy, unpretentious, or as my mother used to say: “Not rocket surgery, okay?” You will also learn a thing or two about what you are putting into your body. Vegetarians are welcome.
LEVEL II CLASS: Nigiri & Sashimi
This is a class where you learn how to cut fish properly for both nigiri and sashimi. You will also understand the critical role that rice plays in the making of the perfect nigiri. You will make 6 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of sashimi using three kinds of fish. You must have completed Level I class in order to be eligible for this class. This is not for vegetarians.
Whether you are coming with another or by yourself, everyone is welcome.

My name is Laura Bain and I work on the Lang & O’Leary Exchange at CBC Totonto.
I’m very interested in the idea of sustainable sushi.
Sushi is so popular in the city and all other the country, but I’ve never really heard of any of the restaurants using sustainable fish suppliers.
I wonder if you may be able to speak as a guest on the show regarding the issue?
Please let me know.
Best,
Laura Bain
