About

Learn how to make seitan chicken using two different starting points: vital wheat gluten and flour, exploring how different preparation methods can dramatically change its texture and flavor. You'll also create a batch of your own signature veggie burgers with many different options to choose from.

Together, we'll prepare a delicious lunch featuring soy curls while learning the best methods for seasoning, hydrating, and cooking them for exceptional texture and flavor. You'll also be introduced to textured vegetable protein (TVP) and learn how to use it to boost the protein content of everyday meals. Those who wish can even incorporate TVP into their signature veggie burgers for an extra protein-packed option.
​
This workshop combines hands-on cooking with in-class demonstrations, giving you the opportunity to build confidence in the kitchen while tasting along the way. Whether you're new to plant-based cooking or looking to refine your skills, you'll leave with practical knowledge, template recipes, and the confidence to experiment with plant -based meat alternatives at home.

Details

  • You'll take home a batch of your signature veggie burgers, two varieties of seitan, ingredients to finish one of the seitan recipes at home, a bag of soy curls, and template recipes for seitan and burgers (plus a few bonus recipes!).
