New Year Resolution & Bento Box: Cooking Class!

New Year Resolution & Bento Box
Cooking Class!
Learning about food prep and establishing healthy eating habit


Happy New Year! What’s your New Year Resolution? How about setting a goal to learn about healthy eating and cooking? How about learning about making a healthy Benton box for lunch to save you money and time?

Here is the menu for the bento box:
Nishime (stewed vegetables in soy sauce, lotus root, daikon, carrot, konyaku, snap peas, mushroom)
Miso Marinated Salmon (Tofu for Vegetarians)
Assorted Pickles and Marinated Egg
Takikomi Gohan (Japanese Mixed Rice)
Anmitsu (Japanese Kanten Jelly Dessert with Red Bean and Fresh Fruit)
Miso Soup
Green tea


Chef Jessica will show you how to prepare and cook healthy food for your Benton box. You will be preparing a meal for your peers. Chef Jessica and her team will lead you through two days of cooking to prepare the meal. On the day before the event (January 22), we will meet in the Nutrition Education Center (NEC) at the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute. The shift options are 11`am- 1pm, and then 1am- 3pm. You will be responsible for chopping, cooking, and cleaning with the team. On the day of the event (January 23), you will need to show up at 10 am sharp to finish cooking with the team. You and your teammates will serve a group of your peers and discuss the menu as well as the process of creating the meal.
