Our friends at the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia (JASGP) is the co-host of the Table for Two November online cooking class. These monthly cooking classes are designed specifically for the JETAA and JAS communities. USJETAA members are invited at the member rate.
We start off this month’s Ouchigohan with Nabeyaki Udon, a hot Japanese noodle soup cooked and served individually in a clay pot (donabe) or cast iron pot. With thick udon noodles simmered in a savory dashi soup, and a variety of colorful toppings it is a popular way to warm up as the weather turns cold.
For dessert we will make a Japanese-style Rare Cheesecake, which means no-bake. Add a cranberry conserve for Thanksgiving or your favorite berry jam to make this delicious dessert a new tradition for your family during the holidays. You can either cook with us or just watch us from the comfort of your own kitchen!
The class is taught by Debra Samuels, lead curriculum and recipe developer for Table for Two USA's Wa-Shokuiku program, cookbook author and recipient of the John E. Thayer III Award for her contributions to US-Japan cultural exchange. She lived in Japan for 12 years and did a lot of cooking while there, so you're in very good hands.
