PROGRAM OVERVIEW
These courses will cover a variety of topics in a relatively short period of time (usually one or two classes). We will offer a variety of these throughout the year.
Here are our current offerings:
Plant-based Cheese:
Cheese is often the most difficult dairy product to give up when you move towards a plant-based diet. While there is increasingly availability of vegan cheeses in supermarkets and specialty stores, there are many good reasons to make your own: commercial products are expensive, they can contain highly processed fats and preservatives as well as excess packaging that you may be seeking to reduce. In this 4- hour class, you will learn about the ingredients, methods and equipment for making your own gourmet non-dairy cheese alternatives at home. The class will culminate in the assemble of artisan cheese boards and a lunch of creamy non-dairy pasta alfredo. This class is both vegan and gluten free.
