For the Love of Veg; Creative Mains with Big Veggies

Masterclass - For the Love of Veg; Creative Mains with Big Veggies

The Event

How many times have you found yourself in front of the Big Cauliflower, the Big Squash, the Big Cabbage or the Big Aubergine and had no idea what to do with it? Want to be a pro at creating quick, easy, everyday meals that become rooted in your repertoire of recipes? For the Love of Veg; Creative Mains with Big Veggies will show you how.

"After 10 years of experimenting with veggies by trying to make them sexy, appealing and desirable, I'm more and more fascinated by them.” David Bez

Food explorer and writer, David Bez, will guide you through a uniquely creative masterclass class. You will explore what he calls 'Big Veg', the hero of each dish, and learn how to transform those big veggies into tasty and surprising main courses, using the formula he applied to more than 100 recipes in his new book "Vegan Love".  Cook like a pro every day using: a veg + a protein + a sauce + a topping = pure plant-based bliss!

Learn how to make veggies the star of your meal and infuse them with flavour by marinating them with spices, sauces and juices. This is the class that will give you the skills and knowledge to feel confident working with the big veggies. David will teach you how to maximize your flavours and textures by roasting them in a pot or the oven, elevating veggies to the next level and showing just how simple and tasty they can be.

This masterclass will include:

• Learn how to transform a big veggie (the main)
• How to cook the perfect protein side (a pulse or grain)
• Transform your dish with a quick and simple sauce or cream or dressing
• How to garnish with the right topping (herbs and crunch)
• Delicious organic plant based lunch
• Tips on how to cook without recipes, layering textures and flavours and how to time manage when cooking multiple dishes
• Learn simple styling tricks to plate your food beautifully and capture a great shot
• Opportunity to ask David questions and learn about his journey to plant-based living
• Easy-to-follow recipe sheets provided to recreate the dishes again and again at home
• And...receive your very own, complimentary copy of David Bez’s latest book, “Vegan Love”, retail worth of £20!
