Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Shojin Ryori (ryori means cooking) is a Japanese monastery style cooking practiced at such temples as Eiheiji, one of the two main head temples of Japanese Soto Zen School. Zen priest, Ninsho Kakinuma was a Tenzo (head chef at monastery) at Eiheiji carrying seven hundred fifty-year tradition of Shojin cooking. Ninsho and his student, Keigaku Muchu, a current resident at San Francisco Zen Center who developed his unique style of California Shojin and raw food cuisine, will demonstrate and offer Shojin cooking class at San Francisco Zen Center. Shojin Ryori happens to be vegan and as such, no animal product will be used for the class. (Please not that Zen Center kitchen is NOT a vegan kitchen, it is vegetarian kitchen using daily products including eggs.) The class will be a combination of talks, demonstration and hands-on preparation of a meal, followed by dinner in the dinning room at Zen Center. Saturday, November 4th Time: 2:00PM~6:00PM (w/break) Location: San Francisco Zen Center Kitchen, 300 Page Street, San Francisco, CA 94102 (@corner of Laguna & Page Street) Cost: $50.00 (includes dinner) Contact: Keigaku ÂgMuchuÂh, mail, 415.671.9607 Parking: Street Space is lmited. Please bring your own chopsticks, a bowl and kitchen knife if you have them. The menu will be decided on the day of the class, after Ninsho and Muchu examine the ingredients, therefore, the recipe for the class will be emailed/mailed after the class.
