Itinerary

Rolling sushi is one of those skills that looks impossible until you try it yourself. In this hands-on cooking class with Chef Jimmy, you'll discover just how approachable homemade sushi can be while enjoying a fun evening at a local brewery in Portland. Chef Jimmy, a certified culinarian and former culinary instructor, breaks every step down into simple techniques that leave you feeling confident from the very first roll. You'll start by learning the secret to perfectly seasoned sushi rice before prepping fresh ingredients and practicing easy knife skills. Then, you'll roll two classic sushi favorites from scratch: a smoked salmon roll with avocado and Japanese scallions, followed by a colorful vegetable roll filled with glazed king mushrooms, carrots and cucumber. Along the way, Chef Jimmy shares professional tips on selecting ingredients, rolling tightly and creating restaurant-worthy presentation. By the end of class, you'll be enjoying two fresh sushi rolls and wondering why takeout suddenly feels a little less exciting.
