Summer Specialty Classes Recap!

The Summer Specialty class have ended, and we're gearing up for the Fall Trimester, which will kick off with Fundamentals on Thursday, September 7. Here's a look at some of the dishes we made in the Mediterranean class, which Madeline Pizzo taught. There's a Seitan Slouvaki, three versions of Tzatziki, a Greek Salad, and some beautiful garnishes for the salad including black and red heirloom tomatoes, walnut-tofu feta, and red pepper matchsticks.

This Trimester, we will have Specialty classes like Homemade Pizza and the Very Best Vegan Thanksgiving Feast. I'll post a few pictures from last year's Thanksgiving feast soon.
