Class Experience

I love sushi! When I bring a few platters to a party, even when there's "seniors," it's all gone in 20 minutes. 

My Teaching Methodology and Practice
I believe the point of teaching is the learning process. My teaching method uses a combination of several elements, with attention to the age group of the class, in order to make the learning process as strong as possible. I include a PowerPoint presentation, a text (that I summarize - usually the 3 main points), personal stories to make either a good point or to make the wrong choice clear, occasionally I used a brief video clip to introduce the topic, use a Socratic question teaching approach, summarize/quiz about the main points of the class content 2-3 times during a class, randomly call on students to answer a question (rather than just have kids raise hands to keep everyone engaged), and include a student presentation project with a written component - that coincides with the topic theory (for the multi-day sessions). I always speak to class lecture items that should go down in notes I ask all students to take during class and typically hand out a note-taking sheet. Specific details of the class sessions are outlined below.

As an introductory class, I’ll just be teaching and demonstrating. I’ll record some video work and then I’ll narrate.

Learning Goals

1. Inspire students that learning to cook anything isn’t difficult.
2. Students learn enough to understand how to make sushi.
3. Provoke the love of good food and the value of learning.
4. Learn that creating food is fun and want to learn more.
5. Enjoy cooking as a great creative outlet.
6. Help cover kitchen safety issues – such as careful knife work.
7. If there is interest, to start a 4-session class where we all make rolls and I can watch - guide the process.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This is a "how-to" type teaching and demonstration class. This is explained in the class description. I'm doing it this way because I don't want students to do the wrong thing and get hurt if I can't be there to watch over them in person. I don't know if students know how to use a knife and work with a hot pan. I need to lean toward caution. If I were to hold a class actually in a kitchen, I would still start by demonstrating and teaching as I go. Knife safety is where I start when teaching anyone in the kitchen. That's why I include this in today's class.

I love cooking. At 11, I started cooking one meal a week for the family. 

When I turned 19, I was running the backend of a steak & seafood restaurant and cooking 350 meals in 2 hours with no plates returned because something was cooked wrong. It was maybe the most challenging job I've ever worked. Culinary trained Executive chefs have been my friends and cooking partners for events for years. I love creating 6-course dinner parties with 8 couples, or 100 people for a luncheon, or 200+ at a wedding.

I enjoy picking 2 new dishes to learn each year. The ethnic stuff I prefer to find the grandma type who’s been cooking forever and be her helper. This is how I learned to make sushi about 10 years ago.

I’ve taught my 2 sons to cook, friends, roommates, and run a few restaurants. 

In addition to teaching these dishes, I’ll also focus on a few important cooking “critical” techniques and kitchen tools.

Much of good cooking is simply following a recipe and being brave to try something new. I enjoy eating out – mostly to find something that looks good. If I can eat it, I can usually make it.
