Japanese Bento Making - Online

Camila just returned from a trip to Japan and is ready to cook with you! This class is inspired by Camila’s love for the Japanese bento, a meal packed in a box. What is the difference between bento and just any packed lunch? The extra care that goes into the preparation. Bento meals feature balance as their main attribute, so they satisfy not only the body but also the eye and the soul. Balance is present in Japanese meals, usually around the number 5: colors (and thus nutrients), preparation techniques, and flavors.

Camila has been traveling yearly to Japan since 2017, introducing and guiding small groups of Americans to the culture through its cuisine and crafts. She has learned much of her culinary knowledge from Eiko-san, a wise woman in her 70s from a humble Kyoto neighborhood, and the neighborhood community of women who gather to celebrate each of Camila's visits.
