Cooking Class: Vegan Mediterranean Masterpieces
This unique, hands-on cooking class features Mediterranean-inspired dishes that are gluten-free, vegetarian and, if desired, vegan. You’ll begin by preparing a refreshing arugula salad, topped with beetroot and oranges. Chef Burcu will then demonstrate how to make zucchini boats, loaded with feta (or tofu) and fresh basil. For the entrée, you’ll stuff bell peppers with quinoa, cranberries and almonds — then roast them to perfection. To cap the meal, you’ll bake apples with walnuts, cinnamon and star anise.

Excellent chef and great teacher. Explained the little things that the books and many courses leave out. Patiently answered all of my many questions. Then I got to enjoy a great meal. All costing not much more than going out to an inferior dinner. I highly recommend her sessions.

Amazing experience, I highly recommend it! Chef Burcu is very welcoming and passionate about her specialty cuisines. She taught me how to make a savory creamy red lentil soup that is perfect for the upcoming fall season. I would definitely take one of her classes once again.
