Shojin Style Cooking workshop by Mari Fujii
藤井まり先生の精進スタイル料理講座
Series of MODOKI ryori (MOCK cuisine) もどき料理 and seasonal vegetables.
Main dish with Mock cuisine: “Fried pork cutlet” and “Steak” made of Fu, wheat gluen.
The idea of this type of Mock cuisine produced at the temple Buddhist is to offer enjoyment and also the unexpected surprise through the meal to the guest.
With the basic idea and method of Shojin ryori, traditional vegan cuisine at the bouddhist temple, we will learn how to prepare the vegetables with different kinds of seasonings and various style of cooking.
It will also be a special occasion to learn directly from Mari Fujii who is the specialist of Shojin ryori and author of many books including the one in English, “Enlightened Kitchen, Fresh Vegetable Dishes from the Temples of Japan”.
She’s been teaching more than 30 years which started with her husband Sotetsu Fujii who was a monk in charge of cooking at the temple for many years.
**The menu is considered for the people who wish to continue cooking in overseas. So we choose the seasonal vegetables and certain ingredients which are easy to find outside Japan as well.
