Chef Dan prepared wonderful vegan nori rolls as we snacked on raw veggies, explored the textures and smell of the nori sheets and miso paste, and learned about the origins of sushi, nori, miso and tamari. The children were engaged and very interested in the process of rolling the sushi. When it was time to sample the rolls, almost everyone dug right in. Allie J. explained that she doesn't like vegetables, but she likes cooking.
As it turns out, sushi isn't easy for everyone to pronounce. The children asked for more:
- zoo-shi
- you-see
- juicy
- shoe-zee
Everyone had a great time eating healthy, fun food, and we were reminded that the children really love culinary projects. We look forward to seeing Chef Dan again!
