Cooking Class: Italian Classics, Vegan Edition
Get ready to fall in love with plant-based Italian cooking in this fun, hands-on cooking class!
Chef Andy will walk you through each step as you build a colorful vegan Italian feast. You’ll start by making vegan arancini using Arborio rice, veggie stock and a finishing touch of vegan Parmesan with marinara for dipping. Next, you’ll toss together an artichoke, tomato and cucumber salad with a tangy balsamic drizzle. Then comes the grand finale: crafting your own vegan pizza from scratch, loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, sun-dried tomato “pepperoni” and melty vegan mozzarella. Book your spot and bring a little plant-based Italian magic into your kitchen!

My wife and I had fun with Chef Andy's assistant for The Bear themed class. Even took home a jar of our own giardiniera. This would be a good class for absolute beginners. My wife has done a lot of cooking so we would look for a more advanced class next time.
