This is a live, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. Guest list is limited to 12 students to create an interactive, dynamic experience. The Instructor will be assisted by a remote Event Lead who will facilitate conversation during class and ensure all students are attended to. We encourage students to have all the ingredients and equipment set up before the class begins to prepare for cooking during the class. We will be recording the class and we hope to make the recording available to students after an editing process to protect the privacy of our students’ homes

Come join Elise in her home kitchen (virtually) to cook a couple dishes from her childhood. Together, you’ll create a foundation with a basic, yet umami packed dashi broth, chop and boil your way through a hearty and soothing miso soup, and reunite chicken and egg through a delicately sweet simmered oyakodon.  Tune in for an evening of simple flavors that will bring warmth and comfort to your dining table, your family, or your next Zoom dinner date. 

Menu:

Simple Dashi Broth

Oyakodon: Simmered chicken and egg over rice

Vegetable Miso Soup

Born and raised in Colorado, Elise Hayashi grew up in a family where knowing how to use a paring knife was more important than riding a bicycle. This sparked her passion for food and cooking at an early age, and she enthusiastically relocated to the Bay Area to study nutrition science at UC Berkeley. Outside of the classroom, Elise helped implement childhood obesity and exercise research, and worked as a pastry assistant to fill her free time with galettes and mousses. She also broadened her experience with food by studying and cooking her way through the Mediterranean diet in Italy, and working on an organic farm in Japan. Now, she is excited to merge her gastronomic backgrounds to share her love of food with the 18 Reasons community. During the rare moments when she is not eating, Elise can be found trying out new sports, playing and listening to live music, or wandering the aisles of grocery stores and farmers' markets.
