Program Description

Join us for the December Holiday edition of the family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん OUCHI GOHAN and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen! On the menu this month is MATCHA MOCHI CUPCAKES & MATCHA LATTE!

MATCHA MOCHI CUPCAKES are delightfully bouncy, slightly sticky, and just the right amount of sweet. Made with rice flour and infused with the earthy, vibrant flavor of matcha, these chewy, sweet treats are the perfect mash-up of Japanese mochi and cupcakes! Each bite is a cozy hug with a hint of green tea magic!

MATCHA LATTE blends the rich, earthy flavor of finely ground green tea powder with silky milk for a smooth, slightly sweet pick-me-up. It’s like sipping on a treat from your favorite café, only greener and packed with antioxidants!

As a bonus activity, we will also learn now to make ORIGAMI MASU BOX while waiting for the cupcakes to bake. Join us as this event will be a perfect way to prepare for the holidays through fun, food, and crafts!

The class will be taught by Debra Samuels, lead curriculum and recipe developer for Wa-Shokuiku, a program of Table for Two. Debra is an author of two cookbooks and the 2020 recipient of the John E. Thayer III Award for Outstanding Contributions to Cultural Exchange Between the United States and Japan.
