Just a photo today…no recipe. I’m teaching a hands-on sushi class next Thursday. If you are in the Sarasota Florida area and want to learn how to make sushi, this is such a fun class….lots of sake & sushi! We’ll learn how to host your own maki-sushi party at home for your friends.
On the menu:
Ginger-Miso Soup
Blue Crab & Avocado Roll
Spicy Tuna-Unagi Roll with Chilli Tobiko
Lobster, Mango & Asparagus Roll
Spicy Tuna Handroll
Baked Shrimp & Scallops Roll

Can you come on down to the Bay Area? Do a Jaden’s Weekend Getaway or something
Funny you should say that Sim, I’m coming to CA next month with my youngest son to visit Mom! L.A. though, not Bay Area. Was up in SF in February. I come back “home” often so I’ll email you when I get back to SF!
Oh ho ho… if you are in Orange County, LA, you can arrange to meet Rasa Malaysia and her whole jing gang of blogger friends.
Oh…and “home” is SF? Nice…
Oooh I’d love to come to your class, if only I wasn’t on the other side of the country.
Unagi rolls are my absolute favorite maki rolls. Yummy! 
Wow, so I never knew you lived in Fl. Im right across the way in Tampa and am interested in your sushi class. Where can I get some more details?
The presentation is lovely! Color-perfect! Picture-perfect! Sushi-perfect! Since you have a menu, can we order online?;p
Don’t forget to email me when you are in NorCal too! I’m here!
The masago looks very “hoong” hehe, in a good way, both red and popular red !
Mouth dropping deep now..looking at 90 degrees to the right..that big fat juicy unagi, yums !!! 
My husband gave me your article from the newspapaer. I saw your picture and I remembered that you might be the person that I bought the beads from in your garage sale. If you’re not, I apologize for mistaking of you as that person.
Anyway, since then I’ve gone to your website almost everyday. I love your site, the pictures of food are so beautiful and you are so personal in your writing. You’re teaching the class next Thursday, is it at the Chef’s Table on Cooper Creek? If so, is it a hands-on class and is it full yet?. Last time I went to one of the class there (healthy cooking), and the class was not hands-on. I don’t really care for it because I can just read the recipes on my own without going to the class.
Please let me know about your class. Thank you.
Hi there – yes I remember you at the garage sale. Does your daughter enjoy making jewelry with the beads?
Yes, the class is hands on. Call Chef’s Table at 360-0007 to sign up. I limit it to 12 people, so make sure you call early!
Looks very yummy! Can you come to UK and teach me?
Mae- ok! I’ll jump on my lear jet and see you in a few hours!
Hi Jaden,
I called Chef’s Table and they said they are about 20 people already enrolled in your cooking class. Will you have another class scheduled with the same or similar sushi menu.
BTW, my daughter loves the beads. She made one piece of jewelry so far. She’ll need to take classes to learn different techniques. Do you have any places you can recommend? Thank you so much for your generosity in your sale.
sarasota schedeule please I want to take a class> please Jaden reply
Hi Wanlee & C Morrell – I’ll email you next month’s schedule. I’ll probably do a sushi class next month on the 7th. Will let you know in a couple of days.
Hi I was wondering when your next Sarasota sushi class was going to be. Thanks!
