About

Beans and greens are staples in many cultures worldwide, as well as in plant-based cuisine. Both are nutritional powerhouses, but what makes them magical is their ability to transform and help create creative dishes. In this class, we'll explore beans and greens while preparing a meal to share. 

On the menu: 

  • Beautiful chickpea socca, a dish associated with France and Italy, though this simple, tasty flatbread was thought to have originated some 8,000 years ago in Egypt. 
  • White bean, garlicky greens soup
  • Seasonal massaged kale salad
  • Dark chocolate fudgy brownies for dessert, which will also use beans!  

We'll discuss purchasing, cooking, and preparing beans and greens creatively and will do some sampling beyond the menu we create. Everything prepared and sampled in class will be dairy- and egg-free. 

 

Materials

A $30 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need.
