INTRODUCING A NEW SERIES OF COOKING CLASSES:
VEGAN PIG ROAST: An Edible Garden Butchery Workshop
WHAT IS A VEGAN PIG ROAST?
A pig roast is traditionally a community gathering in which an entire animal is slaughtered, butchered, processed, cooked, and eaten from head to tail, in a celebratory manner.Whether you find this type of sacrifice horrific or not, we will not be killing any animals at Vegan Pig Roast.
Instead, we will learn to butcher, process, prepare, and enjoy beautiful, peak-of-season fruits and vegetables from our local Bay Area foodshed, using every part of the whole plant: stems, roots, leaves, seeds, skin, and meat. 
Drawing inspiration from nose-to-tail eating, we apply this common sense and interesting approach to cooking, using all of what we kill, from stem-to-root, in order to respect the plants that nourish us, and not take ourselves too seriously.
THE BUTCHER:
Vegan Pig Roast will be taught by Yasmin Golan, chef of San Francisco’s beloved pop-up restaurant, Queer Food For Love. An eight year veteran of artisanal kitchens, Vegan Pig Roast is a class series designed to help build community between feminist and queer people while helping to inspire aspiring cooks of all genders and orientations incorporate more plant-based food into their diet, in fun and interesting ways.
CLASSES:
This class series is a safe and welcoming space for queer-identified people. Bring your freaky self and friends. Reservations are required, so we can plan for the correct number of people and tell you what to bring to class. Please register with your name, email, and phone number so we can count on you. Thank you!
These classes are tied to the season in our area, so please sign up for summer classes while they last. Fall classes to be announced later with totally different ingredients.
