I got this class as a gift for Christmas! I've been vegan for a couple years and love to cook, but had never tried a class. My boyfriend, who is also vegan, came with me and we ended up getting an accidental private class because of some cancellations. While it probably would've been just as good with other people attending, it was really nice to meet Kelli and have her give us some more personalized tips and answer our questions. She's super easy to talk to and very friendly!
We attended the Whole Foods/Plant Based class and made four recipes in about an hour and a half and then sat down to eat. The recipes were an African peanut stew, lentil Bolognese, a kale salad, and a berry crumble for dessert. Kelli explained that she uses these recipes in her other classes sometimes but, as it was the Whole Foods class, we'd be making them without oil or refined sugars. I love to eat healthy but I'm also a huge fan of some classic vegan comfort food so I gained a lot of great tips that I didn't know before!
Overall I felt like this class really demonstrated to me that I don't always need to rely on a cook book or recipe. Plus, I diversified my cooking repertoire with some whole foods tips! Kelli made the recipes feel really flavorful but simple and they all consisted of affordable and easy ingredients that I'd probably already have lying around. (One tip for classes of a smaller size: we had lots of leftovers so make sure you bring some containers to take things home! We brought two but that wasn't quite enough) read more
