Join AmyLeo Barankovich for vegan cooking classes this winter! She'll be teaching "Vegan Basics" and "The Joy of Legumes, Nuts, and Seeds."

On January 9th, join AmyLeo Barankovich at the Wedge Co-op from 7pm-9pm for a class called Vegan Basics. This class looks at why to become vegan and tours The Wedge to learn how to shop vegan, which includes meat substitutes and naturally occurring vegan foods: produce, nuts, seeds, legumes, grains, and more. Back in the kitchen, you'll create Hearty Winter Chili and Gritty Red Pepper Corn Muffins – a match made in heaven. The cost is $35 or $32 for members and you can register by calling 612-871-3993 or signing up at the customer service desk. You can learn more about the class and the Wedge Co-op.

Join AmyLeo at the Mississippi Market in St. Paul on January 16th from 6pm-8:30pm for a class called The Joy of Legumes, Nuts, and Seeds. This class will take a more whole foods approach to vegan cooking by leaving out the meat analogs and making tasty, healthy vegan food with beans, nuts, and seeds. In this class you will prepare and sample Ancient Grain Banana Fritters, Almond Nut Loaf, Split Pea Soup and Cashew Nut Mylk. The class costs $35 or $32 for members and you can register online.

If you can't make it to the Joy of Legumes class on the 16th, AmyLeo will host the class again on January 30 from 6pm-8:30pm at the Seward Co-op. The class costs $35 or $32 for members and you can register for it at the customer service desk at the Co-op or you can call 612-338-2465. Learn more about the class.

AmyLeo will host yet another Joy of Legumes class on February 6th from 7pm-9pm at the Wedge Co-op, so you have 3 chances this winter to learn all about legumes and how you can make them work for you in the kitchen!

We hope to see you all there at one of these amazing vegan cooking classes!
