Hi!

After some months in Zurich I have now decided to start my own small business. The concept is to have a web portal for people who likes to make their own sushi or people who would like to try it out.

The portal contains of a blog, free recipies, tips&tricks, sushi school, online shop and much more. In order to get more publicity I´ve thought about arranging courses/events together with a sushi chef.

So if you are a sushi chef interested in holding a full day course with approx 10 participants - don´t hesitate to contact me!

Best regards
Ann

I commend your initiative, good luck with your business. The lady who runs this shop also gives Sushi courses at the Migros Klub Schule so perhaps contacting her might be useful:

Nishi's Japanese Shop, Zurich

this is a famous shop, and the lady is very friendly. But she didn't speak English when I tried a couple of years ago... I guess she still doesn't

I would have someone in mind, a friend who works in a Sushi Restaurant in Zürich. He is Japanese, but does speak English and pretty good German now. I would recommend him, are you still in hunt for a Sushi Chef?

If your answer is yes, perhaps I can send him a link to this.

Hi Ann,
I can help if you like with sushi and sashimi dishes of all kinds. I've been doing all sorts of catering in Australia for years and specialise in Asian Cuisine, especially Authentic Chinese and Japanese dishes from different regions. Having done my apprenticeship in Singapore was an advantage in this regard and led me to Sri-Lankan,Thai and Vietnamese food,and to work and live in these countries over time.
I am self employed and have been doing relief work at Teifmatt in the Solothurn region as well as doing small seminars and cooking classes at my flat in Diessenhofen, near Schaffhausen.. Basically I cater for almost anything..Themed evenings or afternoon degustation and have always been free to exchange ideas and techniques etc..
It has been a challenge in Switzerland which is a bit 'locked and blocked' with its food in many ways..Not to mention the cost of produce...Good grief!! I have found many restaurants repeat each others menus too. Sometimes its hard to find somewhere different to eat with old style Movenpick dishes still being so popular.
I would be happy to help and offer my services in a class situation or with any other cullinary activities.. Financially it works out a little less than going to a restaurant especially including wines,its alot more fun, and you still dont have to do the washing up!!
Cheers for now
Will Stephens

Hi Ann,

I have a company in Zurich called sushifusion and have been running sushi /Japanese and Asian fusion cooking classes in English for 2 years. My website is www.sushifusion.com. I won second prize in the Eat Japan sushi competition in London 2 years ago with my sushi in a glass creation.

My students get a discount at Nishi's.

I also do Japanese and Asian Fusion catering and team development/networking events for the business sector. This combines my passion for Japanese cuisine and 20 years experience in the corporate sector delivering leadership/management workshops.

Am happy to discuss collaboration.

Maybe I am missing the obvious, but are you looking for a Sushi Chef, or trying to advertise yourself as one? Maybe if you were more clear on what you were looking for, you might get some responses.
Have a nice day.

That was strange. When I opened this thread, it only showed me the last reply/post. So, ignore everything I said in that last post. Pretend I was never here.
