For ages 13 & up

Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or simply trying to incorporate more vegetables and less meat into your diet, you'll want to spend a little time with this expert. Joe Yonan, Food & Dining Editor of the Washington Post and celebrated cookbook author, will introduce you to several dishes that easily fall into the "I can't believe it's vegan" category. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a plant based meal that is vibrant in flavor, interesting in texture, and wholesome and nourishing to eat as you learn a little more about creating these dishes: creamy, thick, caramelized onion dip made with cashews; a versatile soup base that can be adapted to the vegetables that you have on hand; mild, shredded lion's mane mushrooms bound with vegan mayo and flavored with herbs; and delicious morsels of tahini and raspberries in a coating of coconut oil, cocoa powder, and agave syrup.

For ages 13 & up. Attendees not yet 18 must be accompanied by an adult who has purchased a ticket. 21 or older? You'll enjoy a glass of wine that has been perfectly paired with your meal.

Joe Yonan's newly release cookbook, Mastering the Art of Plant-Based Cooking, will be available for sale on the night of class.
