PASTA PARTICIPLE 2.0

WHEN: January 21, Sunday, 2-6pm

Pasta is a staple in Italian cuisine because it cooks quickly and fills up your appetite quite nicely. But most pasta noodles are made with refined flour (which can spike blood sugar levels) and their sauces can be quite rich and unhealthy. In PASTA PARTICIPLE 2.0 class, discover how to make healthified dairy-free versions of pasta favourites without sacrificing flavour, using vegetables, legumes, nuts, and herbs.

PINOY VEGAN EATS

WHEN: February 3, Saturday, 9:30am-12:30pm

One of the challenges of adopting a plant-based diet in this country is recreating more healthful versions of traditional familiar foods. Filipino cuisine is characterized by bold flavors — sour, sweet, bitter, salty, spicy. But going veg doesn’t have to mean turning your back on culture! In this class, we explored plant-based renditions of favorite popular Pinoy dishes.

PERFECTION ACHIEVED BY WAY OF PIZZA

WHEN: February 4 Sunday, 2-6pm

Who doesn’t love pizza? A healthy diet isn’t drinking green juice and eating salad all day. Guilt-free pizza is definitely achievable in your own kitchen – why pay someone to make you a tolerable vegetable pizza when you can make one (or 9!) yourself that you will actually want to devour? Come to this class and I promise, you won’t find better pizzas around.

Learn how to knead whole wheat pizza dough from scratch as well as:

3 sauces – marinara, smoky barbecue, and dairy-free garlic cream
2 dairy-free cheeses – soy and cashew

At the end of class we will make AT LEAST 9 awesome pizza flavours:

margherita, Italian veggie sausage, garden of Eden, alfalfa and arugula
bianca, truffle potato, truffle mushroom, spinach and squash
garden barbecue

This is a pretty popular class and in the end of class, you will leave completely stuffed!!!
