Cooking Webinar : Unfamiliar Vegetables Found in Canadian Supermarkets – Discover, Cook, and Enjoy!

Presented by Momiji / JSS 

Wed. Sep 24, 2025, 3:00 – 4:00 pm EDT (Japanese)

The second online seminar (via Zoom) of Sep 2025 is cooking class! This time, we’re highlighting recipes using vegetables that may be unfamiliar but are commonly found in Canadian grocery stores. *Held in Japanese

What is this session about?

Have you seen vegetables like rhubarb, fennel, or beets at Canadian supermarkets but weren’t sure how to use them?

This online seminar is for you! We’ll introduce some vegetables that are uncommon in Japan, covering how to store, their health benefits, and easy ways to enjoy them with flavors familiar to the Japanese palate.

You’ll also learn how to substitute Japanese seasonings with local alternatives and get simple original recipes.

Perfect for beginners and anyone curious about new foods—let’s make everyday meals more fun and flavorful!

We’re so excited to have Tomoko Takinami back again to present her recipe. Join us for a fun and helpful seminar and explore the appeal of vegetables you may not know yet!
