 Ethnic Cooking Classes 
Moscow Food Co-op


  It's finally starting to feel like fall with the days just slipping by and our next 4 What's Cookin'! classes are right around the corner.  In fact, our first class, Korean Homecooking, starts next Wednesday!  We're already preparing the Kimchi... the following Saturday you can enjoy Indian Homecooking, including mango milkshakes and an almond cooking dessert.  It has also been our good fortune this fall to find a Japanese chef to teach us authentic sushi on Wednesday the 22nd and Japanese Homecooking, featuring the tasty mushroom, Matsutake on Wednesday the 29th.  If one of these makes your mouth water, be sure to sign-up with one of the Co-op's friendly cashiers!

  Korean Homecooking

  Featured Recipes:  Kimchi, Japchae (sweet potato noodles w/ mixed vegetables), Bulgogi (marinated sliced beef), Shikhae (ginger cinnamon tea).

  In this class, you will learn to cook some staple Korean foods, such as Japchae and Bulgogi, which are traditional special-event foods that have become popular everyday dishes.  With simple alterations to the ingredients, Japchae can become a vegan meal, and the sauce for Bulgogi can also be used in mushroom and/or tofu sautés, making it a versatile Korean staple. Of course, no Korean menu would be complete without Kimchi and rice; learn to make both in this traditional cooking class.

  Katei-ryori (Japanese homecooking) has a long-standing tradition of being passed from grandmother, mother, to daughter.  Essential to this tradition is the preparation of meals that reflect the seasons, which, in turn, dictate the food to be served as well as its presentation.  In this class you will learn to prepare a traditional autumn meal featuring Matsutake mushrooms, a much sought-after fall delicacy in Japan.  We will discuss cooking materials and utensils, ingredients and seasonings, preparation techniques as well as how these meals are to be served and eaten.  This class is for anyone that appreciates
  Japanese culture or wishes to enjoy authentic Japanese meals.
