Cruelty Free Living Festival - November 1, 2009

The Cruelty Free Living Festival is happening at Belmore Park again this year, which is great news after the huge response and turnout last year!!

I'll be doing a dessert cooking demonstration (last year I did biscuits, am puzzling out what to do this year - any thoughts?) and also be helping out at the Naked Espresso stall, where we'll have Primal Pies, coffee, vanilla slice and lots more - come by for a chat!!

One Day Cooking Course - November 21

Yes, it's been a while since I've posted anything, but distracting things have been happening and distracting me. I'll try to get back onto the blogging bandwagon, but I can't promise anything soon...

However! I will be running another Introduction to Vegan Cuisine class (the one in August was a screaming success, I must say!) in November - Saturday 21 to be exact.

Here's the link for the course description and to enrol - Introduction to Vegan Cuisine.

Here's the rundown:

"Veganism, a lifestyle where there is no consumption of any animal products whatsoever, is a rapidly growing subculture. Due to its’ strong ethical grounding, alignment with healthy eating principles and minimal impact upon the environment, it appeals to many different people for many different reasons.

Vegan cuisine is bright, tasty, easy and satisfying, and incorporates flavours and techniques from cultures around the globe.The course will cover nutrition, a range of cookery techniques, and act as an introduction to all things vegan – as well as showing how easy and healthful vegan cuisine can be!

Organic and in season ingredients will be used where possible.

So if you are interested in learning more about vegan cuisines and ways of incorporating it into your everyday lifestyle, then this is the course for you.

Agenda

Why vegan?
What are vegan ingredients, where do I find them and how do I use them?

Students will receive comprehensive information booklets and recipes, and cook a vegan feast that will be enjoyed by the whole class.

Recipes will cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert dishes, inspired by cuisines from around the world. "

I always have a great time running these classes, and this will be an intensive day, as I plan on cramming as much cooking as possible into the 6 hours!!

The class is run in Leichhardt and starts at 10am and runs to 4pm, and the cost is $129.
