All About Umami! (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Cooking -
Adult Enrichment Spring 2024

One of the challenges to creating deeply flavored vegetarian and vegan dishes is achieving those mouth-coating, lip-smacking, belly-filling qualities known by their Japanese name, umami. Join Jan for a cooking exploration of traditional ways to impart umami to soup, noodles, salads, and savory sauces. (This class does not cover new commercial meat and cheese substitutes; it uses age-old, modestly priced ones.) Bring containers to take home your treasures. 

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.

An historian by training, she is particularly interested in the cuisine of other countries and the foods eaten by early settlers. Growing up in San Francisco, Jan was exposed to the food traditions of many Asian, Latin American, and European cultures. She loves teaching the basic techniques so people can improvise joyfully and skillfully on their own.
