Elegant dinner
Colours, flavours, plants
Plant-based cooking without compromise
Plant-based cooking is not about giving things up.
About the workshop
Plenty of people still think plant-based food is monotonous – steamed vegetables and dull salads. In reality the range is enormous, provided you know the techniques that give a meat-free dish body, weight and depth of flavour.
In this session we show you how to get the most out of vegetables, pulses and plant-based alternatives. The point is not what is missing from the plate, but the textures and flavours you find once you stop compensating.
What you will learn
-
01
Umami without meat
Where depth comes from: roasting, fermentation, dried mushrooms, miso, tomato.
-
02
Textures
Crisp, creamy, crunchy – making a plate interesting instead of imitating something else.
-
03
Pulses, properly
Soaking, seasoning and when to salt – the difference between “fine” and “more, please”.
-
04
Hot and cold
Building a full menu from starter to main, entirely plant-based.
