Hi,
My wife Dawn and I attended your master class on Sunday. This is just a quick note to say "thanks very much" for a fantastic day.

Not only were you extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sushi, you were really patient and helpful with us amateurs! We have really enjoyed tucking into all the beautiful sushi we made and our daughter Jennifer has too! We've also been pestering our friends to register for a class with you because we know they would really enjoy it.

Anyway, thanks again for a fantastic day.
All the best,
James

Hi James,

sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
I had a great time on Sunday. It was very relaxed and friendly, a really fun experience. I feel much more confident with my sushi making now and looking forward to trying my hand at some adventurous rolls soon.

Thanks for the pdf link, very helpful also! Henry

hI,
I thought that the course was really really enjoyable at the weekend – it exceeded my expectations entirely!

If anyone is thinking of a really nice gift for a sushi lover, then get one this Christmas, it was worth every penny!

Hi,

My name is Iwona Mamczur and i've attended the 3pm (1 hour) class on Saturday. I had a really really great time. have learnt more than ever expected!! Instructions were very clear and easy to follow, the atmosphere was very friendly. Can't think of anything negative to say!!! Only wish i had more time to practise more types of sushi and learn how to cook sushi rice and am therefore considering applying for the 3 hour class.

kind regards,
Iwona

Hi,

I came to your 5 pm class today at the Hilton in Kensington, and would like to say how much I enjoyed the session.
My husband and I had the sushi I made for supper this evening, and thought it was absolutely delicious.
Thank you very much for the e-book, it's excellent, and I am particularly glad to read further tips about how to prepare the rice for sushi.
I did send an e-mail on Saturday to say how much I had enjoyed the course, and how delicious the food was.

Please thank everybody concerned. Many thanks.
Sheila Gillard.

Hello!

Some feedback on the class. Firstly, we really enjoyed it (the class was a birthday present for myself). It was well run, certainly felt like the appropriate amount of time was spent on each section (too not long or short). Our class instructor was very friendly, and helped when needed. I also thought it was nice how different types of fish and 'specialities' were brought out at different times to keep everyone excited.

A great experience and I would definitely recommend!

Kind regards
Aby

Hi James,

Sorry for the delay. I would like to thank you all for the Sushi Mater Class that i attended on the 13th, I had a really enjoyable afternoon and learned a lot more about how to make sushi that i first expected to. The course was ran really well and i would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about sushi.

Thanks again
Wayne

Dear Manu,

Thank you for providing such an informative and fun session on sushi making last night. My wife was very impressed with the samples I took home.
best wishes

Will


Hi Kiyoko,
Thank you for the class this evening.
It was great fun and has certainly got me inspired to make more!
You also mentioned you had an e-Book to accompany the class and that we just needed to e-mail you, so here’s my mail!

Thanks again Manu,
Simon Topping

Had a brilliant time learning to make (and eating lots of) sushi in Bristol. You don't need any prior experience as it's at a good pace and you learn how to make various types of sushi as well as stuff like how to cook the rice and prepare the fish. Make sure you get the dvd too, especially if you have a terrible memory like me as you don't wanna forget everything you learnt :)

Megan Skelton

A quick email to say how much I enjoyed the sushi-making session yesterday. Our tutor was absolutely delightful and we learned so much in 3 hours that we had. She was full of brilliant tips and fascinating facts about the origin of sushi and paced perfectly so that we had the right amount of tuition and then plenty of time to attempt our own versions. I went home proudly brandishing my (very stuffed) bento box and they impressed so much that i think there were some doubts that I'd made them!

Richard Stapleton

Had a one hour class in Bristol last month, surprised how quickly that time passed, given the choice again i would def go for the longer session. it was great fun and the sushi was delicious :)

Naila Malik

This was a birthday present for my boyfriend and it was a perfect present!

We both went and had so much fun and ate so much delicious sushi .. we've only been home a few hours and Tom has already polished off his big box of goodies! Roland was such a fantastic teacher; very friendly, very helpful and very talented - I never thought we would make sushi to the standard we did (although not quite as good as Roland's!)

We learnt so much today and Roland was a very inspiring teacher - I think Tom should open a sushi restaurant too! Even though my salmon slicing isn't quite up to scratch I will definitely be making sushi at home very soon.

Thank you again Your Sushi for such a fab fun filled day!

Hi James

I just want to drop a line and thank you for arranging such a fabulous morning on Sunday.

I don't really like cooking, but love food. The course was so well organised, with a great teacher, and allowed my natural creativity to flourish. Sharing and enjoying the sushi I had made on returning home with my goody bag was an added bonus.

Loved the morning, loved the sushi, and loved Manu.

So glad I booked, and would recommend it to everyone! 
With Love and Blessings

Ruth Hartley

I had a great time at my class on 23rd in leeds. The class was longer than stated which was good. instructor was very incouraging and friendly. The class was far more value for money than i was expecting and made loads more different types than i thought we would. I had a really fun time and hope to make lots of sushi in the future.

I felt very confident and skilled up by the end of the class. would recomend it to anyone and everyone. I handed it out to people at work the next day and they all were very surprised and said it tasted great. So happy i asked for it as a christmas present was the best one ive had for years.

Elizabeth Whittaker

Hi,

I wanted to say thank you as my voucher was bought as a gift for my boyfriend. He had a fantastic time and came away feeling inspired and very pleased with the few hours that he spent with Your Sushi. He was full of compliments about the teacher, style of teaching and the quality of ingredients available.

I can vouch for the sushi that he came away with which was delicious! He was aware of the price of the class and said that, although it wasn't a cheap present, he felt that it was good value for money due to the quality of everything that he experienced.

I am certain that my boyfriend will be sending a testimonial himself but in the meantime, thanks again for making his experience such a good one.

Best wishes,

Sarah

My wife and I had a fabulous time in Bristol last month, learning how to make sushi with Manu. In just 1 hour our bento boxes were full of our own hand made sushi and it was all thanks to our great teacher.

He was so enthusiastic about making sushi which was infectious and made the whole experience memorable.

If you are looking for a great present for a loved one, or looking to learn a new skill, look no further!

Gary Cunningham

I had a great time learning the basics of sushi at the Bordeaux Quay in Bristol last month. Manu's passiion is infectous and you get stuck in really quickly - the best way to learn.

Steve Wakley

Hi there,
I just wanted to say that I had an excellent time, I learnt an awful lot about making and preparing Sushi, the atmosphere was excellent and the tutor was really good, friendly, and obviously enthusiastic about his subject - something that rubbed off on everyone during the session.
Thank you very much, I would recommend it to anyone! :O)
Kind regards,

Mat E

Dear Your Sushi

I just got home from today's sushi class with Kiyoko, and I had to get right on the computer and tell you how much I loved it!!! Kiyoko is a very good teacher; friendly and incredibly welcoming. Her teaching style is perfect for the classes.

I had never made sushi before the class, and now I feel confident in making all the types that Kiyoko showed us! I will strongly recommend Your Sushi to my friends, and I will be making sushi at home from now on, instead of buying it from the supermarket.

Many thanks for a truly memorable day!
Best,
Becca

James,

We have just returned from the sushi class with Roland. I wanted to give you some feedback about the class and Roland himself. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and felt I came away with a really good understanding of what I had just been shown.

Roland has a great teaching style and I found him exceptionally patient but very thorough. There were four of us on the class; the setup was great.

The amount of Sushi we made was incredible, and feel really proud of my creations.

I will recommend the course to everyone I know, as it was the best cookery course I have been on.

Many thanks

Matt

Thank you so much for the class on Saturday in London, it was a birthday gift from my friend Vincent. I had a brilliant time and i learnt a lot. I love seafood, especially sushi and it was one of the best gifts I've ever received.

The sushi we made was fresh and pack full of flavour, i truly loved it but you have ruined the sushi that i buy from the supermarket and shop because its not the same. I can no longer waste my money on that sushit.

Thank you so much for adding to my birthday gift.

Vincent Perrin

Hi there,
Sorry it has taken me a while to write to you with some feedback on the sushi Cookery Class. My name is Amanda Weir, and I booked two places at the Your Sushi Cookery Class in Glasgow for my friend Chris and I. Our two friends Claire and Diana also booked the class as it was a present from us all for Chris's 30th birthday. Our chef for the day was Satomi and because she likes to teach small groups, it was just the four of us in the Cookery Class (at her cool flat) which was excellent! Satomi was such a nice person and throughout the class she talked to us about Japanese culture and explained the stories behind the different techniques used in sushi making....like the chef's slapping their hands and banging their sashimi knifes to get rid of excess water...definitely one way to show off when making the sushi for other people!
Satomi is obviously very skilled and has been making sushi for a long time. It was great to watch an expert at work....and it made it easier for us to pick up too. The sushi we made was delicious...and there was lots of it!!! My favourite was definitely the Nigiri sushi as Satomi had raw tuna which I had never tried before but I absolutely loved it! The Temaki sushi (meaning hand roll if I remember correctly!?!) was great to make too and we all said it would be great to make at a party since you just place the ingredients onto the nori and roll into a cone so it's very easy!
I think what I've learned from the class is that the most difficult part of sushi making is cooking the rice - we didn't do this as it would have taken up too much time but watching Satomi prepare the rice made me realise that if the rice isn't cooked properly then the sushi just won't be any good. So I look forward to giving that a go!!
Anyway to summarise, we had the best day ever at the class, Satomi was a brilliant teacher and the sushi tasted amazing. The class actually ran over by an hour which we were more than happy about (we would have stayed there all day making and eating sushi!!) :o) and we took lots of pictures to impress our friends with our skills! We had so much fun and can't wait to have a go at making sushi in our own kitchens!! I would recommend this class to anyone who loves sushi, especially if there is a group of friends wanting to learn together.
We can't rate Satomi highly enough, she was the perfect teacher and it was lovely to meet her!
Thanks again!
Amanda (and co)

Hi,

I am still on a high after the class that I took on Saturday! Manu is such a fun and brilliant teacher—everyone there had an amazing time and went home with loads of sushi knowledge and indeed delicious sushi. They also do private lessons where you can invite an experience sushi chef into your own home. Here's some... coverage I gave them on that:

Marie Teather

UPDATE: As per Manu's advice, I've just spent the evening practising slicing salmon for nigiri and then threw the whole lot into a fish pie. Happy to say I've got my technique down now and didn't have to worry about wasting anything. Next step is to try again for real on the sushi. Thanks for the great tip Emmanuel!

Manu, thanks again for running such a good sushi course. Really enjoyed it.

Dear James,

Jane and I had a great afternoon of sushi yesterday in B'ham yesterday, Manu was really good.

Thanks

Hi,
Very good course yesterday at Bordeaux Quay, no more rice in my hair!
Thank you very much,

Hi,

Testimonial below. Hope to have the opportunity of working with you again in the near future.

Kiyoko, our enthusiastic chef, came to our offices to run a corporate sushi making event for our colleagues and clients. She was very professional and friendly and ensured the evening ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all. 

Her assistant James helped to increase the competitiveness between our sushi making teams and was very knowledgeable and full of wonderful stories of his time in Japan. We have received very positive feedback from all those who attended and we would certainly recommend Your Sushi for other social events. 

Thank you for a great night!

Hi,

I organized a sushi making session as a corporate event and the result was beyond my expectations. The chefs were very friendly and interesting, the quality of the food was good and everyone really enjoyed the session! I warmly recommend anyone to try Your Sushi, it really worth it!"

Laurent Bloch

Hi there,
We have just returned from the Manchester lesson on the 21st Feb 2010.
Just wanted to say a big thanks for giving us a great lesson in sushi! It was great for us beginners!
Atmosphere was warm and friendly and we learnt (and ate) loads!!
It was for my Dads 50th and he loved it!
Many thanks, I'd do it again and happily recommend you to everyone!

Hi,

Completed the Cambridge course a couple of weeks ago. Had a great time, and left with some great sushi. Roland the chef was excellent, he really knows his stuff and was a very patient teacher. Since getting home I have had two sushi making sessions and following the advice and hands on experience I received I get better every time!

Thanks Roland and "Your sushi"

Brian

Hi,
Loved the Cookery Class this Saturday.

Dear James,

My wife and I both enjoyed the sushi master class very much. Keiko was excellent and we ended the day with some real sushi-making skills as well as several bento boxes stuffed with the products of our labour. I thought the pace was about right and the teacher coped extremely well with the fact that the class included both experienced chefs and relative beginners. She had a very easy going style and managed to give each individual student support and advice.

Richard

Thanks James,  
My husband and I had such a good time yesterday. Kyoko was a fantastic teacher, we really enjoyed the course and our sushi fed us for lunch and dinner yesterday and lunch today! Would definitely do it again - fantastic experience and well worth the money
 
Kindest Regards
 
Claire Kenndey

Hi
We loved the 'Let's Roll Course', our teacher was brilliant she kept everything fun and relaxed whilst being very informative. 

I thought it was a really fun way to spend a couple of hours, it was very well organised and we ended up with loads of delicious sushi.
Thanks,
Ian

Dear James,

I am pleased to be able to offer feedback on behalf of Anne and myself.

We thought the session was well prepared and planned and that the pace of the session fitted well with the group. Anne also valued that Mannu remembered her birthday (I had booked the class back in November as a birthday treat for Anne) and that the fun and light heartedness that he generated added to the whole experience. All in a very enjoyable experience.

Kind regards

Shelagh

Hi

Nigel from Exeter

Hello!

I took part in a wonderful your sushi master class on Sunday 23rd January in Leeds, learned so much and want to say a great big thankyou to those who helped put it together, as well as the fantastic chef - she was patient and very, very skilled!

Hannah Brumby

Hi,

I am writing on behalf of my husband who attended the class on Sat 22 nd .

We all enjoyed his sushi for Saturday night tea- delicious.

Phil had a fantastic time on the course, he said the instructor was very informative and he now feels equipped with the skills to start sushi making.

He has been looking up new ideas all weekend and we are off to a chinese supermarket to buy the ingredients this weekend.

Thank you for a very well organised, professional and enjoyable experience

Cathie Morrow

Hi YourSushi,

Just a message of thanks to Kiyoko and YourSushi, I enjoyed the experience a lot!! It was fun and I learnt a lot and I now know how to make sushi like an expert!! :)
Many thanks again

Yat

Hi,

I had such a great time making sushi.the class is great value with great quality ingredients & lots of tasting as you learn.it was loads of fun & i came away with my own beautiful sushi which i was so proud of! Would recommend it to anyone-thanks so much!

Hannah Lewis

Hi James,

Just wanted to say what an excellent few hours spent with Roland this afternoon. He was a great tutor, we learnt so much and had a fun time as well.

The sushi was excellent and we had plenty to go home with. I would recommend this to anyone who loves sushi or just wants to try something new.

Regards,
Mila

Hiya,

Apologies I forgot to send this sooner!

My partner (Alexa) and I had a fantastic time with Roland on the course. He mentioned that it'd be great if we could send some form of testimonial... So here it is!

"My partner and I hugely enjoyed the course - we learned a lot about sushi, from the tools used to history behind the delicacy. The chef was very friendly and welcoming, and the sushi we took away rivalled restaurant sushi!"

Thanks again for the course,

Andrew

Hello

I enjoyed the class very much - we were kept busy, making a number of different types of roll, got some practice with cutting the rolls and ingredients, and useful demonstrations on how to cut the fish (salmon) and how to prepare the rice.

The chef, Manu, was very clear on the importance of ingredients, mixing the rice and vinegar and a number of other key points.

He also suggested a number of unexpected fillings, and good tips on using ingredients in terms of presentation (cress, seeds etc).

His upbeat style was certainly effective in establishing the mood of the class. He also demonstrated each stage of the creation of the various rolls, and provided guidance as we embarked on the process. We ended up with a couple of bento boxes of sushi at the end (very nice).

If looking for changes, from my perspective as a beginner, it might have have been beneficial to have had a go at mixing the rice and vinegar, though your sushi guide has a good description (so I can follow that at home).

All-in-all, it was fun and informative, with loads of hands on activity. I'd certainly recommend it.

Ivan  

Hi,
I attended the sushi class in Glasgow at the weekend and had great fun. Satomi was lovely and welcoming - a perfect teacher who was knowledgeable, very well prepared, patient and kind. I would recommend the class to anyone curious about sushi.
Claire

Hi

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Sushi Class in Manchester on Saturday.  There was a lot to learn but Manu made it both informative and loads of fun.  If only my teachers at school could have been as enthusiastic and engaging as Manu.

Can't wait to try out my new skills.

Thanks a lot

Jamie

Hi Manu,

Sorry for the late reply... Emma and I both really enjoyed our class - many thanks for the pdf, we are already planning a sushi party so we can practice our new found 'skills'! Please feel free to use the testimonial below as you wish:

As a special birthday present the Your Sushi class I attended couldn't have been better for a sushi lover such as myself. The class was very well organised, the teaching structured yet fun and the ingredients supplied were first rate.

I was impressed with the number of sushi varieties we were taught to create and how hands-on the class was. By the end of the day I felt well educated on the fundamentals of sushi and, most importantly, I left feeling genuinely confident that I could go home and make my own.

Many thanks again for a great day and kind regards,

Jo.

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for all your help.

GREAT SUSHI LESSON , it was lots of fun and very interesting .thanks YourSushi!

from Donna

Thank you so much for a lovely day of sushi making! I tried to make some last night and the rice didn't work! Boo hoo.

I tried to cook too much on an electric hob, and the middle cooked, and the outside didn't. It was a disaster, I was very sad. So it all went it the bin.

Keep up the good work.

The sushi making course on 23rd October 2010 with Satomi in Glasgow was fantastic; an excellent teacher and the class was fun! As I eat a lot of sushi I was keen to learn and try it for myself - my girlfriend bought it as a present and it was well worth it.

Took home lots of the rolls that we made, we ate plenty there too. Learned techniques for rice making (which really is the only preparation you should do before you start to make any dish.)

It was a great day and I look forward to making it for friends and family soon!

Daniel

The course was very hands on taking us through the preparation and creation steps in short simple steps, very necessary when making tomago.  It was also good being in a small group as Roland was able to spend the time answering our questions and showing us what we did wrong.  When we got home we shared  the sushi, we had made on the course, with our family and everyone agreed it tasted great.

Please send our thanks to Roland.

Stuart and Cameron.

Hi, Manu - crazy french man

Adrienne,and I came to your sushi class at Bristol on 17th October. Adrienne was the one who has a 'global palate' and is an excellent and knowledgeable cook I was the one who has a sum total of about 7 tastebuds and on a good day can tell a fish finger from a beefburger - so as far as a testemonial goes it comes from a very wide perspective.

All I can say is that we both THOROUGHLY ENJOYED the afternoon, due to your superbly friendly and entertaining way of passing on some of your knowledge to us. We have good cause to thank our son who bought the 'experience' for us as a present and have not only thanked him profusely but also told him of you corporate sessions. Perhaps the recession will prohibit anything coming of that, but we tried. Adrienne has just walked in the door, returning from the hairdresser to whom she has also recommended you.She was looking for a special present for a friend and we have total confidence that they will learn and enjoy as we did - both the knowledgeable cook and the complete beginner. If we keep on recommending you we shall have to start chasing you for commission soon.

In short - a thoroughly enjoyable and informative afternoon catering (no pun intended) for those who already have some experience of sushi and the complete beginner.

Thank you again

Alan & Adrienne Fouracre

I had a fantastic time on Sunday 17 October - the course was well designed and great fun. I really learnt how to make all sorts of sushi and about its origian and the origin of the ingredients. I would never have been able to do this at home without one of your sessions first! I took so much home at the end of the day that it fed both myself and my boyfriend for dinner which was an added bonus!! Thank you for making it such fun and for really getting me enthused on the art of making (and eating) sushi!!

Lucy Lo-Vel

Many thanks for the Sushi Guide - it will be very useful.
I thoroughly enjoyed my class. Kyoko was an excellent teacher  who knew how to make it fun. 

Mary DeLucchi

Hi Sophie,

I had a brilliant time on Saturday. Manu is a lovely teacher - warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I was very proud of my sushi creations and my family thoroughly enjoyed eating them.

Manu gave us some samples of instant miso soup, which were much nicer than others I've tried. Can you tell me the brand?

Cheers,

Rachel

Hi,
The class on Saturday was really interesting and fun! The chef Emanuel was really friendly and he made the experience really enjoyable.

I shall recommend you to people.
Many thanks
Kit

Hey there,

I meant to say thank you a few weeks ago... I did the sushi course with Roland which was very beneficial.
In one day it was possible to grasp an all round basic knowledge of sushi and sashimi with a professional and experienced teacher.

Regards,

Tom Eadie

Hi ,

So sorry I did not get back sooner but have been travelling a little and dealing with some Supermarkets for the Caviar and Pearl markets as well as having a chance to talk to one Sushi outlet to see if they want my products. I would just like to say thank you for the day at your house for the lesson on Sushi it was very interesting and you made it very relaxed and simple to understand. I have actually had a few party's were I have made most of what we did and got some great reviews and of course have been experimenting with all my Caviars and Pears which make them become Luxury and look great but very affordable as well.

I will no doubt be wanting to try and book a more intense course with you as I think next year I will want to take it up a notch or two!!

Again thank you for also the history lesson on Sushi and making us feel very relaxed and at home, this made it very easy to remember.

Thanks again and talk soon

I made the rice last Saturday and it was a good success for the first time.  My sushi looked good and professional had a really good afternoon, thanks Emmauel.

This was a great class – my favourite part was learning how to make the Sushi Su from scratch!

Harriet Jenkins

Hi,

We had a great time on Saturday, learning the tricks Kiyoko shared with, eating great sushi made by us!! Everyone so really friendly and patient with us. Would recommend the experience to anyone. We can now make sushi on our own!

Cesar Calderon Blanco

Hi,

So sorry for the delay. Just wanted to write and say how much we enjoyed our sushi-making Cookery Class. Emmanuel was such an enthusiastic teacher and the emphasis was very much on having fun. We made a great amount of sushi (some of it presentable, some of it... not so much!) and it was delicious. We learnt so many interesting facts about sushi and it was a thoroughly entertaining few hours. Highly recommended.
Dave and Fran, London

Hi,

We had a awesome time on Saturday at the Hilton hotel. Thank you Emmanuel, you so funny and made it fun for all of us.

Nadine Minnie

My boyfriend and I had a fabulous afternoon learning sushi with in Bristol on Sunday. Huge amounts of sushi and Hiroko was fantastic - very patient and we learnt (and ate) loads. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks very much!
Rachel Vicary

Hi,

Great day on Saturday. Kiyoko was lovely and explained everything really simply and clearly. We had no problems following her instructions. Later my friends really enjoyed eating everything I had made. I've just ordered a rice cooker so there will be no stopping me.

Tiffany Evans

Hiya,

Thank you so much to Emmanuel and his team for such a wonderful day on Saturday. Kiyoko was a wonderful tutor and moreover has a great, friendly, patient demeanour even when we made a mess! My partner (who bought me the lessons as a gift!) was very impressed with what I produced! I have already been to my local Oriental... Superstore on Mill Rd in Cambridge to buy Nori, roll mats etc and have been looking on the internet for a not-too-expensive rice cooker and plan to have an evening sharing my new skills with my girlfriends over a glass or two (or three!) of vino!

Dear Sophie,

I attende the Sushi lesson with Satomi in Queenspark, Glasgow. From the outset it was a superb expereicne. Satomi was very welcoming, an excellent hostess and tutor. she made me feel very relaxed and welcomed me and the other students to her homw with grace and charm. Her preparation was excellent and she gave very good instructions throughout the session. She was calm, helpful and supportiveparticularly when I did not get things quite right. She encouraged all of us to produce high quality food and offered an insight into Japanese culture and the importance of colour in the food as well as the importance of quality tips in preparation. She exuded confidence and made the whole experience very enjoyable. She had a very good sense of humour and dealt well with the mixed ability group. I have taught for 38 uears and been a Head Teacher for 20. In that time I have observed and worked with many teachers. I found Satomi to be in the excellent group. I will endeavour to put her teaching into practice and I will most certainly make and eat more Sushi!

Many thanks!

Jeff Brown

Amazing food -

Kyoko was a fantastic teacher and a good laugh. We made our colleagues jealous at lunch the nexy day!

Claire McKay

Hi,

My daughter (aged 10) and I had a wonderful afternoon at the sushi course in Leeds yesterday. I must've eaten at least £20 worth of sushi throughout the course (that's how many rubbish ones I made that needed eating to get rid of the evidence of my poor worksmanship!) & there must be about £30+ left in the fridge(plus ...the same again which my daughter made!).

By the end of the course we had all made the most amazing amount of stunning looking and delicious sushi which would even whoop the ass of the fanciest Waitrose platter!

I would recommend this course to anyone, not just established sushi lovers. Thank you Kiyoko for a great afternoon.

Michael

Hello,

I was pretty excited when my family gave me -as a present for my birthday- a sushi class. I expected many things from the class, but everything I learned exceeded my expectations. Emmanuel, was a brilliant teacher,fun and has that personality that makes youunderstand everything easily. He also was very kind and patient... and all the time he tried to make sure that you were fine and having good time.The group was also an asset. Everyone wanted to learn and create an excellent learning environment. Now I'm looking forward to get all the equipment and ingredients. I can't wait to start cooking my own sushi. Love it!

Edna Isa

Good evening,

Attended the course in London last Saturday and was inspired by the charismatic Emmanuel. Found the course very helpful and not as difficult as I thought it would be. Made loads of sushi and took some home - the big result for me was that my family ate everything I brought home and encouraged me to do more!!
Douglas Kean

Good evening,

I really enjoyed your Yoursushi class two weekends ago. I have not yet had a chance to put my learning into practice but hope to do so this week. Unfortunately I have forgotten how to do the Te Maki? (conical shape sushi) you taught us and was wondering if you could tell me how much rice to put on the nori sheet and how to fold it again?

Many thanks,
Susannah Hunter

Hi Sophie,

The class was booked for me as a birthday present. I wasn't sure what to expect, but actually I had a really great time. The group was fun and friendly, Emmanuel was a really entertaining guy, and the sushi was really delicous! Thanks for a great day out!
Darren

Hi Sophie, I had a really excellent day. It was highly enjoyable, very informative and a very good education. Emmanuel's approach to teaching was superb - witty and full of energy.

The class that I attended produced a lot of sushi in a relatively short space of time. Emmanuel had the ability to keep people's attention, and they learnt very quickly because of this. The supporting guide has been very helpful too.

With thanks again - greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Carl

Hi, Thanks very much for forwarding the Sushi guide onto me, and also a big thanks for the great class on sunday. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, and loved eating all that delicious sushi.

If anyone ever wants to try making sushi I will definately recommend your classes. Thanks again,
Louise & Carl

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for organising the Sushi lesson. We had a most enjoyable time and are looking forward to putting our learning’s to use.

Hi,

I have enjoyed the class beyond my expectation. Chef Rolland-san absolutely knows his craft. I thought when signed up it is going to be classic teaching class. However, it was much more than that. It was fun, friendly. I was introduced to a bit of sushi history. I have learnt so many tricks. The chef was jolly, made me see... the art of making sushi. I have enjoyed eating my own hand-made sushi. At the end, i had a lovely box full of goodies to share with family. I have already recommended the class to few of my friends.
Tarek Kebeasy

THANK YOU!

The course was very good and Rolland-San was very constructive taking time to give us explanations and demonstrating his techniques.

We thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning Sushi.

Thanks again

Hi,

Hi.Thanks to a wonderful birthday present from my family I had a brilliant experience on the 18th July in Leeds, the class was lead with patience beyond belief. The Sushi was delicious and in the end by expert tuition, looked almost professional.

Thank you for a most enjoyable afternoon.
Gwen

Hi,

I thoroughly enjoyed my sushi making class with Satomi she was very friendly and helpful. Both my husband and i enjoyed tasting the fruits of my labour. I would recommend this class to anyone who enjoys eating sushi as learning how to make it by yourself increases the flavour tenfold.

I can't wait to make my first batch at home. Thank you
Susie Veitch

Hi,

The sushi class on Saturday was excellent. My wife was very impressed with her surprise birthday treat, and Satomi made an excellent teacher.

She had obviously made quite a bit of effort in her preparation, and the quality and variety of the ingredients was superb. Her class included the preparation and cooking of rice, and even how to buy sushi quality raw fish !

And, best of all, she gone out and bought Sanchi Tamari gluten free soy sauce, especially for my wife. These small touches can make all the difference, and it was greatly appreciated. All in all a great experience. Thank you so much, and we are very much looking forward to making great sushi !

Regards,

~Chris

Hi there, We had a great time at the class on Saturday, it was very well organised but also very relaxed. The tutor was very informative and also provided some history about the origins of sushi etc which was very interesting.

We really enjoyed it and have gained some confidence in attempting to make our own sushi at home! We made so much food we were able to take it away and have a picnic nearby.

Many thanks,

Regards, Casilda

Hi,

Thanks for the Sushi making guide. I hope to make time to one day try making my own sushi; but if I practice and at first don't succeed I'll try and try again.
The class was brilliant and you are an excellent tutor as I took in and learnt a lot in a short space of time.
You also made it really fun and I really enjoyed it and also felt I could take in more and wanted to do more because I think your style of delivery really suited everyone there.
Thanks for a really enjoyable course and I will mention my class and the fun I had to family, friends and colleagues.
Take care and very best wishes.
Michael

The chef was an excellent sushi chef/teacher and the Cookery Class was great fun. I hope somebody will give me another voucher so that I can perfect my technique!

Best regards
Carolina

Hi Emmanuel,

Just a note to say we had a great time on Saturday.  Roland was charming and we had a very thorough session which went well over time as we learned so much, and came away knowing how to make every kind of sushi I'd ever come across previously. 

I'm now a happy sushi bunny!

Kind regards

Hi ,
My daughter and I attended the sushi Cookery Class in Manchester. It was a present from my husband. We really enjoyed learning about sushi, how to make some and especially loved eating the result of our efforts! We did manage to make more than we could eat - so took some samples home to our husbands - they send their thanks too. We have made sushi twice since and having a 'sushi fest' for family this weekend celebrating my son's engagement.

Many thanks to Emmanuel.

Sue and Helen

Hi,
Thank you very much for yesterday's class, I really enjoyed it. I am now full of enthusiasm for making sushi and am going to a Chinese Supermarket in Croydon (Wing Yip Centre) to buy all the paraphernalia I need.
Also, I plan to make some sushi to take for lunch at work throughout the week. I
f I make some on Sunday and keep it in the fridge (maybe freezer?) how long would you recommend keeping it before it should be thrown away (I imagine different fillings with different expiry dates have an impact). Do you ever pre prepare sushi for a later date?

Regards,
Alex

Dear Emmanuel,

We really enjoyed the course yesterday, thank you!
Please could you re-email me the sushi guide please?
 
Many thanks
Maddy

Hi,
I attended the Glasgow Sushi class and Santo was the GREATEST.
What a lovely woman, very friendly and knew exactly what she was doing. She was absolutely fantastic.
It was a wonderful experience learning how to make Sushi and I loved every minute of it. I picked up so many useful tips. I have now recommended this course to all my friends and family….I have emailed your web address to all my colleagues at work as well telling them that this would make a great Christmas present.

Thank you so much for such a lovely experience….I had such fun and am now a SUSHI master…….practice makes perfect!

I booked me and my girlfriend onto your course at Birmingham and i have to say it exceded my expectations. You are a fantastic host and made the whole process alot of fun and also really informative about certain ingredients and the history of sushi.

The course was really intimate which meant we were always involved and I would not hesitate to recommend the course to anyone else.

Hello ,
I attended the Sushi Course today and Thoroughly enjoyed it. You have a very nice, entertaining and friendly manner about you, which makes the course highly recommendable. Kind regards
Ayman

Hello ,
Just wanted to thank you for the sushi Cookery Class last Saturday ... I loved it, it was fun and I now want to try making more sushi at home! And honestly, all my respect to you for having set up such a cool business. I suppose it is a great example that passion in what one does (quite obvious in your case) can make things happen no matter what the effort and commitment etc. .... some things make you think (talking from my high profile corporate job with so very little left in for me).
I wish you all the best and definitely will keep Your Sushi in mind for event, parties etc. Kind

Regards
Isabella

Hello,
Many thanks again for the lesson last weekend, it was very enjoyable and I thought I'd send you a quick pic of this weekends follow up attempt (with the in-laws help too). Maybe see you again at an advanced lesson in the future. Make sure you send out a mail-shot when you sort out your DVD.
Kindest regards.
John Timson.

Hello,
Just to say a very big thank you for the Sushi lesson today, I have learn so much, it was informative, fun and very intresting.
I now know how to slice salmon, seperate avocado etc, I will recommend the Sushi class to friends. You are fantastic and will be intouch if stuck with anything.
Warm Regards
Marie.

Saturday night's tea was fab thanks to the fresh Sushi prepared earlier that day. I really enjoyed the group lesson and appreciated the knowledge and techniques you were able to pass on in such a relatively short period of time.
I've set my self the challenge of preparing Sushi in front of my wife, for this Saturday's tea, so that she can have a go too. I bought a starter pack from you so I have the basics, however, I am struggling to get hold of the pickled raddish- Daikon. Do you know of any suppliers in or around the Stockport/High Peak area?

Thanks again
Phil Halstead

Rich thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and came home hugely enthusiastic about it all. We ate the results for dinner last night and it really was delicious so thanks very much for making my choice of birthday present for him a success!

Hi,

Thanks ,
Greg

Hi ,

Thanks for the class, you made it very fun and interesting- I've already recommended it to many of my friends!

Could I also request from you the information booklet that some people received in the post which contained the rice cooking information? I could get the info from a random site on the net, but I'd rather get it from the master .

Thanks again,

Chris

Hi,

Chris had a great time! I've asked him to drop you a line when he gets chance.

He has spent the last week searching for the right rice cooker and lecturing me on the sin that is supermarket sushi :O)

He has also promised to throw a sushi party as soon as he gets the cooker, I can't wait!

Thank you so much, this was definitely one of the best birthday presents I have given anyone and I will recommend it to everyone!

Kind regards,

Vicki ireland

Hi,
