Learn how to slow cook your way to vegetarian comfort food magic, using what you have and very little of your time. Braising is one of the most useful techniques you can master to create flavorful, hearty and balanced dishes to fill you up on weekday nights, meal prep in advance or make ahead the main course of a dinner party.

This class will cover the basics of vegetarian braising from choosing plant-based proteins, building and complementing flavors, searing, deglazing, simmering to tender perfection, and utilizing cooking vessels.

Our menu includes:

• Miso & Ginger Braised Tofu [or Cod] with Shiitake and Baby Bok Choy

• Spiced Chickpea Tagine

All ages welcome and encouraged.

This is a virtual hands-on class. There is some prep required for this class. You’ll receive a detailed list of ingredients, materials and prep instructions at least 1 week before class. No special tools or ingredients needed (see below). You will have reheatable leftovers!
