Free Event: Successful Substitutions (Online)
Taught by Laura Scheck
Laura Scheck is the founder of Teaching Table, a culinary education platform that aims to inspire others to cook foods that are better for their bodies, their families, and their communities. Laura previously worked as a teacher and adult educator and was trained at the Natural Gourmet Institute, making her uniquely suited to share her passion for food in an educational way. Teaching Table provides public cooking demos and workshops, lessons targeted towards individual needs and special diets, private cooking classes & events for cooks of all ages and experience levels, as well as tips, techniques, and recipes via a blog and social media.
In this FREE hands on workshop, gain the confidence to make a wide range of substitutions. We all need to swap out ingredients, whether it’s for dietary reasons, running out of something, flavor choices or simply trying to use up what we have.
Chef Laura will demonstrate Muhammara, a smoky red pepper and walnut dip with Middle Eastern origins. She’ll also make a second version with a bunch of substitutions to the original recipe, while you cook along with the ingredients of your choice. Discuss ways to avoid nuts or gluten, how to replace Pomegranate Molasses, and find alternative sources of acid. You’ll walk away with practical knowledge that can be applied towards all kinds of recipes.
This is a hands-on live virtual workshop. It’s a sneak peak into our Cook with What You Have Course.
