Got eggplant? Go beyond eggplant parmesan in this 2-part class! Learn all about eggplants and how to prepare them. Differentiate between varieties of this delicious vegetable, note its nutritional benefits and most importantly, practice how to maximize its flavor and texture in every dish you make.
In each session of Cooking with Eggplant, we will discuss and prepare 3-4 eggplant dishes. Brainstorm additional eggplant dishes with your classmates and get a few bonus recipes as well. Get yourself a few big purple bulbs at the farmer’s market and get ready to do your best Cooking with Eggplant.
