Condensed Holiday Class at the Bakery 11/24

This took me awhile to figure out, so it’s a little short notice, but I’ve finally figured out a time to have a class for all of you who missed the PCC one and need holiday help.

The class will be Tuesday Nov 24th at 7:30pm, and will be 2 hours long. The fee for the class will be $20, and you will go home with a whole bunch of recipes and some cookies and seitan. You can sign up by calling or coming by the bakery to reserve a spot, and you can pay in advance or on the day of.

This class will be great for anyone trying to make a totally vegan holiday meal, or if you need some options to share with your non-vegan family members. We will cover seitan basics, desserts, side dishes, and I will do my best to talk about allergen options as well.

Space is obviously kind of limited, so reserve your spot. If it fills up really fast I’ll try to squeeze in a second class time.

I found it a bit difficult to understand the classes and how it all works on the PCC website, but I’m also not the best at computers. I’m giving you all the info here just in case, but you should sign up through the PCC page. You can take the entire series, or just one of the classes.
