Cooking Classes
Join us for a group cooking class led by Chef Yvonne in our professional kitchen. Over the course of 3 to 4 hours enjoy coffee and tea while you learn how to prepare delectable and hearty vegetarian dishes. On another day we might develop the staples of a great vegan pantry, or perhaps learn to cook delicious gluten free meals. We sample while cooking and stop to eat some of our yummy creations including dessert! These recipes, loaded with flavorful and nutritious ingredients will help you build your repertoire or if you're new to it, will help you learn how to make the staples for creating one. Whether you're taking the full vegetarian, vegan or gluten free plunge or just want to mix it up and add some super healthy variety to your household, these basics will win you over. Classes offered througout the year. Please contact us for the next date.

A firm believer in the holistic experience of nourishing the body, and with an emphasis on vegetarian dishes, Yvonne's aim is to create meals that are delicious and balanced as well as restorative and nurturing.
