Mari Fujii & Yuka Yamasaki: It is a great honour to welcome Mari Fujii, one of the greatest masters of Buddhist Shojin Ryori cuisine, and her assistant Yuka, master of medicinal cooking to La Palma for a one-week cooking course. Experience this vegetarian-vegan cuisine intensively and practically with the two Japanese masters.
Shojin Ryori, what is it? The preparation of dishes that combine the five flavours, the five colours and the five ways of cooking [the basic concepts of shojin cuisine] to create a balanced meal. . . . Shojin cuisine is an art of cooking that takes these concepts into account, and that's why people who enjoy it say it relieves stress.
The 5-day cookery course is aimed at anyone who would like to learn the philosophy and the cooking knowledge and skills of this mindful cuisine. Professional chefs should not miss this unique opportunity to experience Shojin Ryori in its diversity in Europe with Mari's wealth of experience from many decades of cookery practice. In a small group of 6 - 8 people, learn to prepare predominantly regional plant-based ingredients and cook invigorating dishes with amazing flavour.
Island excursions: We will visit regional mercadillos and organic fincas to select the delicious ingredients for our dishes and see how the many different types of fruit and vegetables are grown on volcanic soil. A lot is still done by hand here, machines are rarely used.
Zen and Feldenkrais: Practising Shojin Ryori connects mind and body. To deepen this process, we start the course days with morning Zazen, followed by movement lessons from the Feldenkrais-Method to develop mindfulness, led by Gabriele Lex, Feldenkrais and Zen practicioner.
