There are so many ways and just in time for No-Turkey Day!
The Woodbridge Library says it is proud to offer a cooking class,“Vegan Cooking for the Holidays” at 7 p.m. Nov. 16. (hurray for the Woodbridge Library!)
Chef Mary Lawrence will "help solve the age-old problem of what to serve a vegetarian for Thanksgiving."
The class will teach you how to celebrate "the holiday season with a harvest feast of vegetables, fruits and baked goods that everyone will enjoy," organizers said.
That includes ideas for appetizers, seasonal side dishes and delectable desserts that are all free of animal products, including eggs, dairy and, of course, turkey, organizers said. (you can't beat that!)
The event will include learning how to prepare a winter vegetable chowder with spiced toasted pepitas "that's perfect for a chilly evening or holiday celebration."
The program is free, but space is limited and registration is required.
