New Vegetarian Weeknight Staples, with Lukas Volger

If you’re looking to up your vegetable intake, one of the most effective ways is to commit to a few vegetarian or vegan dinners a week—and you can think of this class as your starter kit. Or if you’re a longtime vegetarian, here’s an opportunity to learn some new tricks and ideas! These new recipes appear in Lukas’ newest cookbook Start Simple. Join cookbook author Lukas Volger in our Hudson Valley – Berkshires cooking class to learn (and eat!) the following…

Menu to include:

• Squash and Ricotta Dip (appetizer, with crackers & crudités): A simple appetizer that does double-duty by front-loading some of the labor of a future meal.
• Winter White Bean Salad with Grapefruit: A few pantry staples help this brightly flavored, texture-rich salad—perfect for packed lunches—come together in no time.
• Cheesy Cabbage and White BeanSoup: A warming, hearty soup that greatly exceeds the sum of its humble parts.
• Butternut Squash Frittata: With pre-roasted squash on hand, this unique frittata is one of those meals that come together in 10 minutes.
• Tahini Meringues Over Ice Cream: Tahini is a distinctive enrichment to little meringue cookies, and make for a distinctive topping to a bowl of ice cream.

This demonstration class is limited to 12 people.
