I love cooking classes! I’ve been a math teacher, but teaching about food is infinitely more enjoyable! It’s so interactive, hands-on, and fun. An important plus–the food is varied, flavorful, interesting.
Check out my once-a-month, three-hour Saturday classes in my home in Chapel Hill, NC, from 11 until 2. You’ll get a plant-based snack plate to nibble on. We’ll cook together then enjoy sampling all the dishes. You’ll take home the recipes (and any leftovers). It’s a small group of no more than six. Each class is $59; click on the link to register.
Bring an appetite and an interest in plant-based cooking. We cook a lot of recipes – it’s always an ambitious menu – but everyone pitches in and we’re done in time to sit down and enjoy our efforts.
The fine print: You can cancel for a refund (less Eventbrite fees) up until one week before the class.
