Should we have J=n the focus or make it so both of you can participate evenly? I think that i= we make Jen the focus, we can have a fairly high level class with you as s=pport. Otherwise, we can try to organize a more "starter" c=urse for both of you. One question, are you comfortable working with raw fi=h?

Neither of us has lear=ed about Japanese cooking, so we would probably need to start with the basi=s, although Jen is a chef, but she has experience only with european/americ=n cuisine.

So if you may h=ve suggestions on any of the above, it would be amazing.
