I truly have something for everyone, and I invite you to join a class to discover fantastic new recipes, flavors and ideas. My demonstration style classes are not only entertaining and educational, but delicious, too! All meals are healthy, fresh, organic and plant-based.
Many guests have great questions about preparing plant-based meals, so the classes are taught in this style to guide, inform and inspire while affording the time to enjoy a full five course meal.
Fruit & herb infused water is served at each class and guests are welcome to bring their own favorite wine, beer or spirit to enjoy with the meal.
Here's an idea of the sort of cooking classes I run. Interested? Contact me!
