Eating vegan when you are at home can be pretty easy but if you are just venturing into the world of veganism it can be difficult to know what products you should be using and sometimes what combinations will mimic your favorites. If you are based in New York City there are a ton of vegan cooking classes to choose from but we have selected one that is designed to tickle your taste buds, inspire your palate and teach you how to make some delicious meals.
Meet The Chef
Chef Kira was born and raised within a family of chefs and from a young age, she found herself joining the farm to table movement with a focus on vegan cooking. She has worked in Europe and Morocco in order to learn about various cuisines with each culture offering classics that she has worked on adapting to meet vegan needs. As a trained chef, she is able to teach all of her students how to meticulously prepare food, plate it, and make sure that it tastes just as good as it looks.
Soul Food
Her cooking class is called Vegan Soulfood 101 so if you like your comfort foods then this will be right up your alley. The menu usually consists of a vegan macaroni and cheese, fried tofu with collard greens, and vegan banana pudding for dessert. Each recipe is provided for you so that you can take it home and cook it yourself when you feel like you need to curl up with some good home cooked vegan food. You may also find after the course that you can adapt parts of the recipes to put your own spin on it such as adding some heat to it.
The Experience
Last but not least, you can go to her for your cooking class or she can come to you. If you are considering a girls night and are not sure what to do or an intimate cooking class with a loved one then she can cater to all of your needs. You will find that your cooking skills are put to the test, and you may find yourself making dishes previously thought to complex. Fear not, Chef Kira will guide you the entire way and you will come out with new skills and you will definitely not be going hungry that evening. Enjoy this tantalizing foodie experience.
