Sushi Kids Cooking Class at Farmer's Market

Hello faithful readers!

As I posted earlier in the week, I would be helping teach at the Farmer's Market. Well, I woke up bright and early Saturday morning to go! So glad I was able to help teach, it was amazing. When I was some of these kids' age, I had no clue even what sushi was let alone how to make it! Although we omitted the fish, the kids rolled their own sushi using nori, vegetables (they loved the mangoes and avocados), and sticky rice! We started out by going through the market and picking out our vegetables then went back to the booth so they could cut and peel the vegetables. (For cutting we used lettuce knives.) I must say, I have never seen kids so focused and into a project ever! There was this 4-year old little girl, Ruby, who must have eaten 5 pieces of nori all by itself! She was such a cutie. Some of the kids got very advanced and made rice on the outside sushi! Next time your child wants a happy meal, help them cook their own food. You might be happily surprised at the results you'll get.

After that was all done and cleaned up, sticky rice and all, I went out into the Farmer's Market to share some of the beauty I get to see every Saturday morning with all of you. The colors of the fruits and vegetables are honestly remarkable and the variety of things they carry is unimaginable.

Enjoy!

Food is love,

Danielle
