OCTOBER

​"Ethiopian Spice Market"
Hands-on Vegan Cooking Class/Dinner
Saturday, October 20th, 2018
6:00pm - 9:00pm
​14 Cedar Street, Amesbury, MA

     Healthful, exotic, spicy, and full of vibrant vegetables and legumes, Ethiopian cuisine is bringing excitement to American foodies! So for this class, the Vegan Farm Stand will bring a taste of Africa to Amesbury! This hands-on cooking class/dinner will introduce you to an Ethiopian culinary delight by creating a traditional Ethiopian dinner using a staple of the country's menu: INJERA!
     Injera is a type of pancake that is utilized as a plate, fork, knife and spoon in Ethiopia.  Similar to a sourdough bread, it instead lays flat. Injera is traditionally used to dip into an array of delicious Ethiopian sauces and side dishes and is accompanied by a large, communal salad. 
     The class, led by Vegan Culinary Coach and Instructor LeAnn Lewis, will learn how to make injera starter, use pre-made starter to make injera; as well as ye'shimbra duket kita (chick-pea crepes), ye'misser wot (spicy red lentils), a soft creamy vegan cheese, and several easy and yet unique vegetable dishes.
     Please arrive by 5:45pm since the class starts promptly at 6pm in Kitchen Local's modern, commercial chef's kitchen. By 8pm the group will sit down in the rustic dining area, adjacent to the kitchen, for the scrumptious Ethiopinan (vegan) dinner created in Kitchen Local's commercial chef's kitchen, to enjoy the deleactables prepared. 
     You are welcome to BYOB and an apron. You will leave with a recipe book and details on where you can buy your ingredients to make the recipes at home. 
     Reservations required in advance since space is limited. $70.00/person includes the hands-on class, buffet dinner, and recipe booklet. Please pay under "group classes" on the Vegan Farm Stand website https://veganfarmstand.com/ or email leann@veganfarmstand.com to reserve your spot and be sent a paylink.
