Cooking Class & Demo on Monday: Vegan Easter Feast!

This coming Monday, I will be doing a cooking class and demo at the Whole Foods Market in Torrance, California.

We will be making a Vegan Easter Feast, featuring the wildly popular Seitan En Croute!

Complete 5 course meal to include:
Green Salad with Creamy Vegan Ranch Dressing
Stone Ground Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Seitan en Croute (Like a Beef Wellington, but VEGAN!)
Piled High Strawberry Pie
...and just for fun, a vegan version of Cadbury's famous Creme Eggs!
