Kuma no Kitchen
Description
Kuma no Kitchen is Jean’s small-group cooking class, capped at six people, which means you actually learn something instead of watching someone else chop vegetables from the back of a crowd. She runs the whole thing herself – market visit, organic farm stop, then cooking four dishes in her kitchen.
The class leans heavily vegetarian and vegan, and Jean knows her stuff when it comes to herbs, seasonal produce, and gluten-free Vietnamese cooking. If you’ve been eating pho and banh mi for a week and want to understand what’s actually growing in those dishes, this is where that education happens.
The format feels more like cooking with a friend than attending a lesson (a friend who happens to be a skilled cook). You sit down and eat together at the end, which is the right way to finish a cooking class.
Highlights
- Strong vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free focus - rare to find executed this well
- Small group size keeps it personal and hands-on
- Market and organic farm visit is included, not just a cooking demo
- Limited availability given the small group cap - book well ahead during peak season
