Lovers of Japanese cuisine got a treat last night as Fresh Starts Chef Events hosted Chef Yoshi Tome and Chef Taka Wada of Sushi Ran in Sausalito. Chef Yoshi led a sake tasting, we learned a lot about sushi rice and enjoyed Classic California Roll plus Futomaki Roll before moving to the Miso-Glazed Cod with Sesame Spinach. Chef Andrew Wild lent a hand as sous chef to create the Miso Cheesecake with Crème Fraîche & Cherries. Arigatou (thank you) to both of them for a wonderful evening and to Neely Wang for sharing her photos. We'll host another of these special evenings to support Homeward Bound of Marin on Aug. 3.

We had a blast hosting Chef Roberth Sundell of Stockhome Restaurant Petaluma last night at Fresh Starts Chef Events. He explained the making of gravlax and how it's different from lox, presenting it with a tasty mustard sauce for the first course. We also learned how Swedish meatballs became a national dish and what separates Swedish pancakes from crêpes. Thanks to Chef Roberth for sharing his stories and to Neely Wang for capturing great photos of our events!
