where can i learn japanese cooking lessons?

Question

specifically in San Francisco California... just looking for short courses. I'm really interested to learn, but i have no plans on being a chef. I just want to learn so that i can cook japanese food for my family and friends.

Answer 1

I know of a book that's been getting really great reviews for the authentic style Japanese cooking. It's so good that the Japanese population in the US couldn't wait for the release of the book in the US. But don't worry, that doesn't mean it's hard to get, because a lot of people don't know about it.

The book is called "Harumi's Japanese Cooking: More Than 75 Authentic and Contemporary Recipes from Japan's Most Popular Cooking Expert"

The link is here: http://www.amazon.com/Harumis-Japanese-Cooking-Contemporary-PopularCooking/dp/1557884862

My mom and her whole network of friends all have a copy, some of them multiple copies (a backup?, yea I know strange).

I know you were looking for a course, so I apologize if my answer is not applicable. I still thought I would pass on the information. Goodluck!

Answer 2

understanding population verses culture gave me all the wrong answers for what was in the pot cooking~things that don't have a USDA approval on it chased me away from their ability to eat things because of starvational lives that a borderline famine created allot of these dishes out of fish heads and thing that could be full of the same bovine feeding flaws that stricken the mind, mercury is hi in poisoning fish~use Americanized version of their feeding habits is good sources of rights stuff=only if you know the right stuff, anything that crawled or swam in to a rice paddy went in the pot
