Last night I hosted my first vegan cooking class for fellow members of Fort Vegan, a vegan and vegetarian meetup here in Fort Collins. Many of the attendees were vegetarian, but looking to go vegan and needed ideas of how to cook without cheese and eggs. I enjoyed meeting everyone and getting a chance to “talk shop” and learn a few things myself. I put together a packet of information regarding protein, calcium, and ten different things to make with tofu. I also included the recipes for the vegan goodies we ate. I’m sorry to say, I completely forgot to serve the vegan brownies–although the recipe was included. The Seventh Grader was thrilled with my oversight.
I served four easy-to-make appetizers: Avocado Bruschetta, Crock Cheez, Hummus, and Field Roast Stuffed Phyllo Cups. I then showed attendees how to make the best mac n’ cheese ever.
Hopefully, everyone came away with lots of helpful information and full stomachs. I had a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to class number 2 next Sunday. I’m not sure what I’ll be whipping up for that class, but since Thanksgiving is coming up, I may focus on vegan holiday dishes. Thanks again to everyone who attended!
I bet it was awesome. You are a great cook.
What a fun idea for sharing tips on making more vegan meals!
I would love to know when you host another one. I’ve been enjoying my Vegan meals, but need more.
This is fantastic, I wish you were in my area! At least I found you on the inter-webs. 🙂
Aw, thanks! I wish I had more time to do classes, but this winter has been incredibly busy. Maybe one of these days, I’ll post some cooking videos . . . but I’ll need a few more hours in the day for that!
