Confession: I love leafy greens. I have them in some form each and every day and my body sighs with pleasure and says, “Thank you.” I adore their sleek lines and have put them in vases on my countertop in lieu of flowers. 

On the other hand, leafy greens conjure up thoughts of bitter, unwelcome flavors with a side of virtue for some folks. An unpleasant, occasional chore. There is a better way.

There are simple ways to make these leafy heroes delicious! Join us for this class as we explore 3 different ways to prepare and enjoy 3 common and easy-to-find greens, using pantry staples and a few innovative and unique additions. 

 

MENU

Lentil & Chard Stew with Maitake Mushrooms and Beer

Massaged Kale Salad with Pomegranate Molasses, Pecans, and Farro

Grilled Romaine with Miso Caesar Dressing + Brazil Nut Parmesan
