ohagi

this was a "energy snack" class.
we made this ohagi, sweet rice cake.
this particular recipe was invented by the teacher.
after cooked sweet brown rice and pounded it, added mixture of
1 grated carrot
2 raisin
3 roasted sesame and walnuts
and made this cake.

i really loved it and want to make it again : )
this is a great snack!

cooking class

this week, we had lots of cooking classes.
one of them was "macrobiotic dessert"
this couscous cake was fabulous!

party food

sometimes, the kitchen stuff makes a little fun, party food.
this day's lunch, we had a macro-pizza!

the "chees" was a cashew cream.
super delicous : )

Buffet style

all buffet style, and you can get as much as you like : )
there are two types, one is for "healing dishes", designed for people who have some illnesses, or restrictions on the diet. much less seasonings and almost no oil.
the other is more standard dishes. still light flavored, but i really enjoyed the gentle taste and the real taste of real food : )

Meal at Kushi

all three meals are prepared and served.
and of course, delicious and healthy macrobiotic dishes : )

typically, breakfast consisits of whole grains, steamed greans and miso soup.

Kushi Institute

went to Kushi Institute to take on going counselor course.
first 4 days were rainy and chilly, but still very beautiful and peaceful.
ive been so healed : )

Second attempt

last time i made whole wheat biscuit, it was too crumbly.
and this time, instead of using just whole wheat, i used whole wheat pastry flour, which i found at union square green market, organic and local : )

much better!!

but i just realized how much oil i have to use!
usually i like to eat biscuit with vegan butter and fruit spread, but it may be too fatty, so i tried with apple butter (also local, and made only from apple and cinnamon).
go perfet well together!

im still not a baker, but this one, i think i can do it again : )
