Yesterday’s private sushi rolling lesson with Jeannette & Katie was such a blast. They tried their hand at making many types of sushi, including king salmon nigiri. They did an amazing job and are definitely naturals when it comes to the art of making sushi! 🍣

My family medicine rotation out in rural Montana has been keeping me busy….but never too busy for a sushi party, of course! I am so grateful for the amazing staff I have the privilege to learn from everyday out here. I loved getting to spend the evening preparing sushi for them.

Tempura shrimp, avocado, cucumber, topped with smoked antelope (sourced locally) & smoked togarashi mayo.

A Sunday evening well-spent! Thank you Nelson family for having me into your beautiful home & kitchen! It was truly a delight to spend the evening with you 🍣

I will be moving out of the Ludington area for my clinical rotations for graduate school next week and will be unable to accept reservations for the next several months. This is such a bittersweet time for me as I have thoroughly enjoyed doing private in home lessons and dinners these past 5 months. Thank you for inviting me into your homes & for allowing me to share one of my greatest passions with you. I truly have the best customers out there and you have made this experience so meaningful.

This isn’t goodbye forever—more of a “see you later.” I will be back in action & accepting reservations once I am finished with school. I plan to keep active on this page when I’m able to.

Thank you for your continued support, and as always, much love. ❤️ 🤙🏽

Tonight I was privileged to have a very special party/rolling lesson for my professors & classmates at my Physician Assistant program at Western Michigan University 🐴🩺

We are celebrating the end of our didactic year (as well as the Class of 2023’s graduation) this month, so of course that calls for some sushi! 🥳

The faculty invest so much time and hard work for our program, they have spent all year teaching us—so it was fun to switch up the roles and teach them something new for the evening. They all did a great job! ❤️

Private lessons & in-home parties make for a fun night in. I will be back to the Ludington area very soon and am currently accepting reservations for both—direct message me for more details 🤙🏽🍣

Though I will not be returning to doing traditional take-out orders, I will be returning to taking reservations for private lessons & dinner parties in your home kitchen. This is truly a unique experience where I bring the sushi bar to you! Let me do the cooking & entertaining for you—all in the comfort of your own home.

Private dinners have been a huge hit in the past and I am super excited to be opening up my books for these.

The things I do when I’m supposed to be studying for an exam at school….

I absolutely love creating new rolls out of locally sourced ingredients. Fresh beet & swisschard microgreens from the farmer’s market, shiitake mushrooms grown right here in Kalamazoo, and house-made kimchi from my favorite Asian grocery store in Portage all made for some delicious new ingredients to incorporate into some sushi rolls.

Pictured below from left to right:

The Closer to the Sun Roll

Tempura & panko fried shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, kimchi rolled futomaki style. Topped with beet & swisschard microgreens, togarashi spice.

The PCH Roll

Tempura fried & panko fried shiitake mushrooms wrapped in kimchi, rolled with organic avocado & cucumber. Topped with radish and beet microgreens. Served with cilantro-lime Japanese mayo & sriracha.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Near the end of August I’ll be opening my books up for some private dinners/lessons.

Much love 🤙🏽❤️

It’s been a while since I’ve had time to roll up some sushi as grad school has been keeping me busy. I’m thankful that I’ve had the past week off, which provided the opportunity to prepare dinner for my Mom & John’s 1 year wedding anniversary yesterday evening.

The Cartier Mansion hosted their wedding 1 year ago and my Mom & John decided that returning was the perfect way to celebrate way to their anniversary as well. It is truly a one-of-a-kind place to stay, and the by far the best bed & breakfast in the state. We all loved getting to celebrate Mom & John’s wedding here, and it was wonderful to return to celebrate their anniversary. Jenna & Chris are truly the best hosts, and always go above & beyond for their guests.

I decided to re-create a few of the rolls that I served last year when I catered their wedding. (Fun fact: They never actually got to eat any of the sushi I made on their wedding day as it was all devoured by guests within about 20 minutes of the reception starting 😉)

The roll of the evening was the Cartier Roll—a shrimp tempura roll, topped with fresh mango & bluefin tuna, garnished with pomegranate.

It was great to be back this week & I absolutely loved getting to serve sushi at one of my favorite places in Ludington.

Happy Anniversary, Mom & John ❤️

My final sushi party of winter break was held in Bozeman, Montana. Though the state is not known for sushi, traditional Hispanic cuisine and locally raised beef are two staples in the area. Though I prepared a variety of sashimi, nigiri, and sushi rolls throughout the evening, I decided to take a stab at preparing a Mexican-inspired sushi roll for the first time, along with a surf n’ turf roll to honor both staples. Roll names/ingredients lisited below. Special thanks to my friends for helping me come up with unique roll names 🍣

The Hot Zamboni roll

Shrimp tempura, avocado, & cucumber rolled inside out. Topped with thinly sliced mango, tajin & togarashi spice, dragon sauce (A spicy mayo base, combined with cojita, lime, cilantro & habenero hot sauce, and a few other secret ingredients), diced jalapeño, serrano & banana peppers, chilie-spiced fried corn crunch, fresh cilantro, & lime zest.

The Ponderosa roll

Shrimp tempura, avocado, & cucumber rolled inside out. Topped with thinly sliced grilled tri-tip steak, dragon sauce, pickled carrots, scallions, & torgarshi spice.

All in all it was a great night with great people! ❤️🤙🏽
