Sauce is Boss: Vegan Sauces to Enliven Your Meals - Online

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our registration policies here. 

Having a few stellar sauce options in your back pocket can save a meal and a cook’s sanity. By preparing a few sauces at the start of the week, you are ensuring ease in the kitchen and pleasure at the dining table. While this class is focused on creating a wide variety of sauces, Marie will also discuss and share ideas on how to maximize each one's reach with sauces: from dressing a simple salad, to slowly braising a pot of humble beans, to roasting vegetables that were forgotten in the crisper.
