Grounded Staples: Vegetables, Legumes & More

Adapted from our own 90% hands-on Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Arts' professional curriculum, each class offers invaluable culinary techniques suited for those wishing to refine their skills or step-it-up a notch at home or in their career.

Versatile side dishes and well-balanced nutritional full meal options are learned using both common vegetable staples as well as a few that are local and available year-round.

Fundamental vegetable chemistries are discussed in order to prepare a nutritionally balanced and well-constructed meal. Learning points include time-tested and consistently executed vegetable recipes that offer a further understanding of their basic on-plate chemistry whether paired with a protein or not.
