Cook tasty plant-based dishes with us from your own kitchen!
Get ready for a delicious adventure in our autumn cooking class! Join us online to learn from Tamuno how to make a cozy autumn wild rice soup. You can either cook along or watch him demonstrate the process from the comfort of your home.
Tamuno Imbu, Compassionate Action for Animal’s (CAA’s) Community Organizer and cooking class instructor, enjoys sharing his love of cooking plant-based dishes with everyone. This month, he’ll guide you through making a wild rice soup with all of your favorite autumn flavors.
During the class, Tamuno will walk you through the preparation. First, we’ll prepare the base of the soup. Then, we will add in seasonal veggies, coconut milk, and the star of our soup: wild rice. Then, we’ll finish it off with fresh kale. The blend of flavors will warm you from the inside and have you ready to share it with others! The whole meal can be prepared from start to finish in just one hour.
If you’d like to cook along, make sure to gather your ingredients ahead of time (listed below). See you online for a wonderful cooking experience.

All about Cooking with Tamuno classes
Cooking with Tamuno is an online cooking class offered monthly on a chosen Monday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. CAA’s Community Organizer, Tamuno Imbu is our resident chef extraordinaire. Each month, he selects a vegan recipe that is particularly tasty and easy to make. During the class, he slowly and clearly demonstrates the steps to make the meal. He is also more than willing to take questions — he wants to be sure you walk away with the ability to make each recipe on your own.
He shares the ingredients ahead of time so that you can purchase them and cook along in real time. But it’s also okay to just sit back, watch, and learn. No cooking experience is required as he gears this for people who are new to plant-based cooking.
All are welcome to cook
Everyone is welcome at these fun online events. Join Tamuno and learn some plant-based cooking skills, all while having an opportunity to meet some of the youth and other participants. You will come away with new recipes and some handy cooking tips. Be prepared to impress your friends and family with your new-found skills! Or better yet, bring them along to the class so they can get these skills for themselves too.
Young people frequently join the classes through relationships with partner organizations. Tamuno also works with these youth in other ways, including leadership programming and introducing them to the issues surrounding living a more compassionate lifestyle.
