Kitchen Fundamentals: Cooking Whole Grains, Beans and Legumes

About the Kitchen Fundamentals Series

The Kitchen Fundamentals series teaches essential skills for cooking whole foods with a focus on locally-produced and economical ingredients. If you’re new to cooking or are looking to increase your knowledge and confidence, then this is the series for you! The 4-part series is made of stand-alone classes, however, when bought as a package there is a discount of $5 per class.

The full series of classes includes:

Sept 23: Kitchen Fundamentals: Skills for Healthy Home Cooking
Sept 30: Kitchen Fundamentals: Cooking Whole Grains, Beans and Legumes
Oct 7: Kitchen Fundamentals: Vegetables Every day!
Oct 28: Kitchen Fundamentals: Cooking Meat, Chicken and Fish

Whole grains and plant-based meals can be healthful and delicious! Learn how to cook them for maximum flavor and appeal. We’ll demonstrate techniques for cooking whole grains, dried beans and legumes. We’ll also review how to use a pressure cooker (which can make cooking a lot faster!). Then we’ll put it all together and make several tasty and healthful recipes that will make Meatless Mondays something to look forward to. Finally, we’ll show you how to use leftovers in creative ways so that you can “cook once and eat twice” without having the same thing over and over.

Sections of this class will be active, so please dress appropriately for the kitchen (closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothes, hair tie for long hair). We will sample what we cook, but it will not be a complete meal.
