Grand Rapids: Fun Sushi Making Class at a Trendy Local Venue｜United States

Skip the overpriced takeout and learn how to roll your own sushi like a pro in this fun, beginner-friendly cooking class with Chef Cortney. Hosted at a trendy local venue in Grand Rapids, this hands-on experience makes sushi surprisingly approachable, even if your current skill level is “I burn toast sometimes.”

Chef Cortney will guide you through the foundations of sushi making, starting with perfectly seasoned sushi rice and simple prep techniques that make the process feel stress-free instead of intimidating. Then, you’ll build a California-style roll filled with nori, avocado, cucumber and your choice of imitation crab or cooked shrimp, finished with sesame seeds for the perfect bite. After that, create a colorful veggie roll packed with fresh vegetables, avocado, cucumber and a touch of cream cheese for a smooth, balanced flavor. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical knife skills, rolling techniques and plating tips you can easily recreate at home. Come hungry because you’ll get to enjoy every roll you make.
