Come experience the magic of miso! Miso is a high-protein seasoning that originated in Japan and has played a significant role in Japanese culture and cuisine for thousands of years. In the US, we are most familiar with miso soup, however, miso has a wide variety of culinary uses. It is also widely recognized in Japan for its health-supportive properties.
In this workshop, you\’ll learn the basics of miso – the science, its health benefits, its culinary uses, and how to make homemade miso.
