CREATE FLAVORFUL MEALS:
BUILD UP YOUR PLANT-BASED PANTRY

FREE CLASS If you're a new or seasoned cook, you may still be struggling with how to create variety when using flavor profiles. Or perhaps the idea of "meaty" vegan cooking ("umami"!) is new to you. In this free class, instructor JL Fields - Vegan Culinary Instructor & Cookbook Author will share strategies to slowly build up your plant-based pantry and offer simple techniques to help you learn to use ingredients, spices, seasoning and cooking methods to create flavorful, umami-rich vegan meals.

This class is FREE; we will gratefully accept an optional $5 (or more) donation at the door to benefit Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary.
Please RSVP on Facebook or Meetup.

MONDAY | JULY 22 | 7 TO 8 PM

FROM OMNIVORE TO PLANT-BASED: LEARN HOW TO FILL UP A TASTY VEGAN PLATE HEALTHFULLY!

FREE CLASS One of the biggest obstacles facing those interested in a plant-based diet is simply not knowing what to eat. In this class, you'll learn about the five vegan food groups (including how much to eat on a daily basis to get a wide range of vitamins and nutrients and, yes, protein) and how to prepare them quickly. Bonus: You'll receive a list of some of the best vegan versions of meat, cheese, milk, and more at local Colorado Springs grocery stores.
