Join us for a relaxed, hands-on cooking class at CIBI, guided by Meg. This class offers an introduction to Japanese home-style cooking through a mix of demonstration and hands-on practice. Together, we'll explore simple techniques, seasonal ingredients, and the pleasure of sharing a meal made from scratch. In this session, we'll be making gyoza — one of the recipes featured in CIBI's upcoming cookbook (releasing 1st September 2026). Simple, satisfying, and made to be shared. Demonstration: Learn how to cook rice using a traditional donabe rice cooker, Kamado-san Learn how to make kombu dashi and osuimono (Japanese clear soup) Hands-on: Make daikon pickles Make gyoza, including preparing the filling, folding, cooking, and making the dipping sauce Take home: Freshly made gyoza Daikon pickles After the class: Enjoy a meal together: rice, soup, and gyoza Tea will be served Whether you're confident in the kitchen or just starting out, this is a welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and cook together.
