Learn to Cook Buddhist Cuisine with a Japanese Dietitian

Sobre

Buddhist cuisine is like Japanese traditional vegan cuisine.

Traditionally, Buddhist monks have this cuisine but nowadays it can be enjoyed by many people. Even if you're not vegan, I'm sure you will enjoy this meal.

We're going to cook Buddhist cuisine together following these rules.

• No animal ingredients
• No Smelly veggies (especially garlic and onion...etc)
• Include five colors in the meal (The colors are black, white, red, green and yellow)
• Include five testes (Salty, sweet, sour, bitter and hot/sharpness)
• Use five methods for the preparation of the dishes (Raw, steamed, deep-fried, roasted and simmered)

Buddhist cuisine has rules but you don't have to be worried! The recipes are not complicated; they're simple but nice, so let's enjoy it!

After the cooking session, I'm going to serve you matcha(ground green tea) with traditional Japanese confectioneries. I'm going to show you how to serve delicious matcha as well! Let's experience traditional Japanese lunch and tea time together!
