A Vegetarian Valentine: Recipes For You and Your Boo

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

Bring the vegetarian (portobello) steakhouse experience home. Staying in this year for Valentine's Day means focusing on recipes that can be made with someone special or with housemates for a festive dinner in. We will make red wine glazed mushroom steak strips to serve on a vivid mound of beet mashed potatoes finished with frizzled crispy shallots. Then we will temper our emotions with pink ruby chocolate dipped figs—though you can also use bittersweet chocolate instead.

With a master’s in intercultural studies and a Mexican-Bolivian-Dutch heritage, she’s keen on finding the points of intersection around the table. Her food writing has recently appeared in Edible East Bay, The Kitchn, and San Francisco Classical Voice. Her online cooking journal, EatMoreMeatless.net explores creative and doable ways for all trying to eat more vegetables. Find her online at Instagram @anneliesz.
