Update 26-Mar-2017:
Thank you very much for your great response! Currently, the 10:30-12:00 workshop is fully booked. If you are interested in this workshop, please let us know. If we get enough people, we may open another session later in the afternoon of the same day (tentatively 2:30-4:00 p.m.).
Gyoza (餃子）are Japanese style dumplings. Dumplings, of course, have existed in many shapes and cooking styles across Asia. We hope to introduce you to a typical Japanese way to prepare gyoza.
In the same way that French fries are a sidekick of the fast-food burger here in North America, gyoza normally accompany ramen in Japan. (But we won't be making ramen in this workshop!) Keep that in mind when planning your next ramen party! :-)

A teishoku (定食）is a set meal. Typically, it will consist of rice, soup, a main dish and some side dishes. We are offering a workshop on how to make a typical Japanese meal. We thought we'd make it more interesting by creating a vegan meal of common Japanese food. All ingredients are readily found in Halifax!
In the workshop, we will show you how to prepare the food. Participants will be asked to help in some of the tasks. Then we all share the meal together.
